NASA Psyche Mission: Charting a Metallic World
In this artist’s rendition, we explore a metallic world named Psyche, an asteroid that offers a unique window into the building blocks of planet formation. The NASA Psyche mission launches in 2023 and will arrive at the asteroid Psyche, which orbits the Sun between Mars and Jupiter, in 2026. The spacecraft, also named Psyche, will spend 21 months orbiting the asteroid, mapping it and studying its properties. The mission is led by Principal Investigator Lindy Elkins-Tanton of Arizona State University. NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory is responsible for the mission’s overall management, system engineering, integration and test, and mission operations. Maxar Technologies is providing a high-power solar electric propulsion spacecraft chassis.
"2022 Moon Phases in the Southern Hemisphere (4K) - Visualizing Lunar Phases and Orbit"
This 4K visualization shows the Moon's phase and libration at hourly intervals throughout 2022, as viewed from the Southern Hemisphere. Each frame represents one hour. In addition, this visualization shows the Moon's orbit position, sub-Earth and subsolar points, and distance from the Earth at true scale. Craters near the terminator are labeled, as are Apollo landing sites, maria, and other albedo features in sunlight.

"Chasing Sprites in the Electric Sky: Unveiling Nature's Light Show"
Paul Smith is a night-sky fanatic and photographer. His obsession is sprites: immense jolts of light that flicker high above thunderstorms. Last October, he guided NASA scientist Dr. Burcu Kosar through the backroads of Oklahoma to catch one herself. Although she’d studied sprites for more than 15 years, she hadn’t yet chased one.

"A Look at SWOT"
Imagine having a special satellite in space that watches over our Earth! This satellite is called SWOT, which stands for 'Surface Water and Ocean Topography.' Its job is to learn about the water on our planet, like rivers, lakes, and oceans.
SWOT's mission is to understand how water moves and changes over time. This is super important because water is vital for all living things. It helps us drink, grow our food, and even generate electricity. But sometimes, water can cause problems like floods when it gathers in one place too quickly.
SWOT helps us plan for the future by giving us a clearer picture of how water behaves. It can spot where water might collect too much, which can help communities prepare for floods. It can also show where there's not enough water, so we can manage it better and make sure everyone has enough.
With SWOT's information, communities can make smarter decisions about where to build houses, grow crops, and manage water resources. This way, we can make our planet a better place to live for everyone
