Moon Sheds Light on Earth's Impact History | NASA | UHD
By looking at the Moon, the most complete and accessible chronicle of the asteroid collisions that carved our young solar system, a group of scientists is challenging our understanding of a part of Earth’s history.
The number of asteroid impacts to the Moon and Earth increased by two to three times starting around 290 million years ago, researchers reported in a January 18 paper in the journal Science.
They could tell by creating the first comprehensive timeline of large craters on the Moon formed in the last billion years by using images and thermal data collected by NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO). When the scientists compared those to the timeline of Earth’s craters, they found the two bodies had recorded the same history of asteroid bombardment—one that contradicts theories about Earth’s impact rate.

How does EARTH look from the SPACE? | Earth Views from the International Space Station
The International Space Station’s High Definition Earth Viewing (HDEV) experiment is an external camera platform located on the Columbus module of the space station. In addition to providing beautiful views of Earth, one of the goals of HDEV is to monitor the longevity and quality of its image sensors in the space environment. HDEV operations began on April 30, 2014, and only a single bad pixel has been identified.

Near-Earth Objects Discovered to Date | Here's the Count
June 30 may be International Asteroid Day, but at NASA, every day is asteroid day! So what do we know about the asteroids in Earth's neighborhood? A whole lot. Planetary defense — which includes finding, tracking, and characterizing near-Earth objects — is part of our mission at NASA. This video highlights the count of what humanity has discovered so far.

THE FUTURE
NASA’s investment in low-Earth orbit has launched a commercial economy in space. See how the private sector will expand the economic sphere with commercial cargo to space, commercial spaceflights, and commercial destinations in orbit, and how it will enable NASA to be one of many customers and advance human space exploration.

WHAT IS MARS?
Mars was once on track to become a thriving Earth-like planet, yet today it is an apparently lifeless wasteland. A NASA spacecraft named MAVEN will soon journey to Mars to find out what went wrong on the Red Planet.
