This was for an Halloween themed episode for 2019. We are taking you on a tour of our galaxy of horrors. First, we’re going to start at the far reaches of the Milky Way Galaxy and explore terrifying planets that orbit other stars. (roll-ins for this) Then, we'll come a bit closer to home by exploring some of the most eerie environments in our own solar system. Have you ever heard radio waves from Saturn? You will today. Then, we will dive into the dark forces at play in our universe: Dark energy and dark matter. 🎥Credits: NASA

The Great Morning Planet Show of May 2011 is underway. Wake up before sunrise any day this month to see a shape-shifting alignment of heavenly lights. 🎥Credits: NASA

On this episode of NASA Science Live we're talking about a telescope that's like a time machine. The Webb telescope. We visit Webb at the Northrop Grumman facility to see the fully assembled observatory and take questions for our studio guest. 🎥Credits: NASA

More than 30 years after they were launched, NASA's two Voyager probes have traveled to the edge of the solar system and are on the doorstep of interstellar space. 🎥Credits: NASA

At any given time, there are multiple fires burning across the globe. During today's show, we'll discuss the science of fire, how NASA monitors and tracks fires, how NASA data are used in prediction, response and recovery and we'll even talk with a NASA astronaut about how they study fire in space.

Earth is about to pass through a stream of dust from Halley's Comet, source of the annual eta Aquarid meteor shower. The show began before sunrise on May 6th 2011.

This episode of NASA Science Live was from the USS Hornet, the boat that carried the Apollo 11 capsule after it landed in 1969 and in 2019 we celebrated NASA's 50th anniversary of the first moon landing.

With a burst of solar flares and Northern Lights, the sun is waking up from a three-year slumber.

NASA announced that our next destination in the solar system is the unique, richly organic world Titan. Advancing our search for the building blocks of life, the Dragonfly mission will fly multiple sorties to sample and examine sites around Saturn’s icy moon. Dragonfly will launch in 2026 and arrive in 2034. The rotorcraft will fly to dozens of promising locations on Titan looking for prebiotic chemical processes common on both Titan and Earth. Dragonfly marks the first time NASA will fly a multi-rotor vehicle for science on another planet; it has eight rotors and flies like a large drone. It will take advantage of Titan’s dense atmosphere – four times denser than Earth’s – to become the first vehicle ever to fly its entire science payload to new places for repeatable and targeted access to surface materials

For reasons researchers do not understand, the rate of midnight fireballs increases during the weeks around the vernal equinox. It's a beautiful display, but where do they come from?

NASA selected three commercial Moon landing service providers that will deliver science and technology payloads under Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) as part of the Artemis program. Each commercial lander will carry NASA-provided payloads that will conduct science investigations and demonstrate advanced technologies on the lunar surface, paving the way for NASA astronauts to land on the lunar surface by 2024

Strange quantum fluids that love to sneak out of cups have been found trapped inside the core of a dead neutron star.

This episode of NASA Science Live talks about storms across the solar system. Starting with how storms form on Earth. Then, what conditions cause them to happen on other planets in a weather forecast from across the solar system. Finally, a look at how NASA studies storms on our own planet and with the release of a weather balloon.

When solar activity recently plunged into a century-class minimum, many experts were puzzled. Now a group of researchers say they have cracked the mystery of the missing sunspots.

On March 19th, 2011, a full Moon of rare size and beauty rose in the east at sunset. It was a super "perigee moon" – the biggest in almost 20 years.

During this episode we talk about what features make our home weird, how we study our planet and where we might see these "special" features elsewhere in the solar system.

Sometime ago, NASA scientists got a rare chance to study "thundersnow" first-hand when a freak winter storm rolled right over their research center.

High overhead, out of the darkness, a bright light surges into view. For 5 to 10 seconds it outshines the brightest stars in the sky, mimicking a supernova, perhaps even casting faint shadows at your feet.

NASA Science Live is an opportunity for you to come behind-the-scenes and get to know your space agency. In this episode, we discuss interstellar space and the topics we'll cover will take you to the edge of our solar system and beyond. We'll show you how big our galaxy is, check in on the Voyager spacecraft and explore the region beyond our bubble. And you'll meet one special student that's helping hunt down planets that orbit other stars.

Welcome to the first episode of NASA Science Live, your exclusive behind-the-scenes pass to your space agency! In this episode, we dive into fascinating facts about Earth's Moon, the 5th largest in the solar system and the only place beyond Earth where humans have set foot. Join us as we uncover the mysteries of our celestial neighbor!

Rollout for ULA's upcoming launch of the Vulcan rocket carrying Astrobotic's lunar lander scheduled for January 8, 2024 from Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. Onboard the lander are a suite of NASA scientific instruments as part of the agency's CLPS initiative.

Curation team members at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston successfully remove the two fasteners from the sampler head that had prevented the remainder of OSIRIS-REx’s asteroid Bennu sample material from being accessed.

This imagery shows how technicians at NASA’s Michoud Assembly Facility moved the aft dome of the liquid oxygen tank for NASA’s SLS (Space Launch System) rocket for the next phase of production inside the Vertical Assembly center Dec. 18. 2023.
