On May 16, 2023, NASA’s Juno spacecraft flew past Jupiter’s volcanic moon Io, and then the gas giant soon after. Io is the most volcanically active body in the solar system. Slightly larger than Earth’s moon, Io is a world in constant torment. Not only is the biggest planet in the solar system forever pulling at it gravitationally, but so are its Galilean siblings – Europa and the biggest moon in the solar system, Ganymede. The result is that Io is continuously stretched and squeezed, actions linked to the creation of the lava seen erupting from its many volcanoes. This rendering provides a “starship captain” point of view of the flyby, using images from JunoCam. For both targets, Io and Jupiter, raw JunoCam images were reprojected into views similar to the perspective of a consumer camera. The Io flyby and the Jupiter approach movie were rendered separately and composed into a synchronous split-screen video. Launched on Aug. 5, 2011, Juno embarked on a 5-year journey to Jupiter. Its mission: to probe beneath the planet's dense clouds and answer questions about the origin and evolution of Jupiter, our solar system, and giant planets in general across the cosmos. Juno arrived at the gas giant on July 4, 2016, after a 1.7-billion-mile journey, and settled into a 53-day polar orbit stretching from just above Jupiter’s cloud tops to the outer reaches of the Jovian magnetosphere. Now in its extended mission, NASA’s most distant planetary orbiter continues doing flybys of Jupiter and its moons.

How Do Planets Get Their Names? With the exception of earth, the planets in our solar system were named after Greek or Roman gods . Today the job of naming things in space falls to the International Astronomical union , the internationally recognizing authority for naming celestial bodies and their surface features .

Our next space station crew rotation flight, a launch day simulation for our upcoming moon mission and visiting the splashdown recovery crew for Artemis II....

Introducing NASA's new streaming service , NASA + launching soon. More space. More rocket. More science. More mission. More NASA. All in one place. No subscription needed. NASA + is ad free, no cast and family friendly. It will feature NASA's emmy award - winning live coverage, and new original video series. NASA's will be available on most major platforms via the NASA app on iOS and Android mobile and tablet devices : streaming media players such as Roku, Apple TV, and fire TV and on the web across desktop and mobile devices.

Is Climate change Same as the Global Warming ? Not quite. The warming of earth or Global Warming is just one factor that makes a range of changes that are happening to our planet , which is climate change. And NASA is studying all of it.

A commercial resupply mission heads to the Space Station, a key piece of hardware for a future moon mission is on the move and another spacecraft gets ready to spread its wings in deep space.

We know the moon contains water but could future astronauts access and make us of it? That's the goal. At NASA We are actively trying to answer that question.

The Artemis II Astronauts Check out their ride to the Moon, Practicing post - splashdown recovery operations for Artemis II, and the web space telescope checks out a record breaking star...

When it comes to space, humans and robots go way back. We rely heavily on our mechanical friends to perform tasks that are too dangerous, difficult or out of reach for us humans. We're even working on a new generation of robots that will help us explore in advanced and novel ways.

Why is Venus so Hot? The Planet's thick CO2 filled atmosphere is great at trapping heat. This creates a runaway Green house effect that makes Venus roughly 700 Foreign height hotter than it would be otherwise.

Find out why July 2023 was a record breaking month, a high flying NASA aircraft is helping to study lighting, and making landings safe for flights of the future.
