A Historic Bite - First Lettuce Grown and Eaten in Space
For the first time ever, fresh food grown in the microgravity environment of space is on the menu for NASA astronauts aboard the International Space Station. Expedition 44 crew members Scott Kelly, Kjell Lindgren and Kimiya Yui sampled the red romaine lettuce which was grown as part of the Veggie experiment after it had spent 33 days growing aboard the station. NASA is maturing Veggie technology aboard the space station to provide future pioneers with a sustainable food supplement – a critical part of NASA’s Journey to Mars. As NASA moves toward long-duration exploration missions farther into the solar system, Veggie will be a resource for crew food growth and consumption. It also could be used by astronauts for recreational gardening activities during deep space missions. The higher resolution images and higher frame rate 4K videos can reveal more information when used on science investigations, giving researchers a valuable new tool aboard the space station.

Zero-Gravity Amazement: Liquid Ping Pong in Space - RED 4K
NASA astronaut Scott Kelly, who marked day 300 of a historic year in space on Jan. 21, 2016, shows off another fascinating feature of life in microgravity. Kelly used two paddles with hydrophobic, or water repellant, features to pass a sphere of water back and forth. Scientists use the microgravity environment of the space station to advance scientific knowledge in Earth, space, physical, and biological sciences that otherwise wouldn't be possible down here on the planet. The paddles are polycarbonate laser etched so that the surfaces are actually arrays of 300 micrometer posts (0.3mm). The surfaces were then spray coated with a Teflon coat. The combined effects of surface roughness and non-wettability produce a super-hydrophobic surface capable of preventing water adhesion in dynamic processes. The larger the drop, the less force it takes to break it up. The smaller the drop, the harder you can hit it. Scott is demonstrating about a 4 mL drop (over 100 times larger than a rain drop).

Solar Spectacle in 4K: NASA's April 17 Solar Flare Close-Up
On April 17, 2016, an active region on the sun’s right side released a mid-level solar flare, captured here by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory. This solar flare caused moderate radio blackouts, according to NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center. Scientists study active regions – which are areas of intense magnetism – to better understand why they sometimes erupt with such flares. This video was captured in several wavelengths of extreme ultraviolet light, a type of light that is typically invisible to our eyes, but is color-coded in SDO images for easy viewing.

Breathtaking Beauty: The Sun in Ultra-HD (4K) - NASA's Thermonuclear Art
It’s always shining, always ablaze with light and energy that drive weather, biology and more. In addition to keeping life alive on Earth, the sun also sends out a constant flow of particles called the solar wind, and it occasionally erupts with giant clouds of solar material, called coronal mass ejections, or explosions of X-rays called solar flares. These events can rattle our space environment out to the very edges of our solar system. In space, NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, or SDO, keeps an eye on our nearest star 24/7. SDO captures images of the sun in 10 different wavelengths, each of which helps highlight a different temperature of solar material. In this video, we experience SDO images of the sun in unprecedented detail. Presented in ultra-high definition, the video presents the dance of the ultra-hot material on our life-giving star in extraordinary detail, offering an intimate view of the grand forces of the solar system.

NASA Psyche Mission - Charting a Metallic World
Have you ever wondered what lies inside the core of a planet? How did the planets form and evolve over time? What can we learn from the ancient remnants of our solar system? These are some of the questions that NASA’s Psyche mission aims to answer by exploring a unique and mysterious world: the metal asteroid Psyche.
Psyche is an asteroid that orbits the Sun between Mars and Jupiter, and it is unlike any other asteroid we know. It is made mostly of iron and nickel, similar to the Earth’s core, and it may be the exposed core of an early planet that lost its rocky mantle due to violent collisions billions of years ago. By studying Psyche, we can gain insight into the origin and evolution of our own planet and other rocky worlds.
NASA’s Psyche mission will launch in 2022 and arrive at the asteroid in 2026. The spacecraft, also named Psyche, will spend 21 months orbiting the asteroid, mapping its surface, measuring its magnetic field, and analyzing its composition. The mission is led by Principal Investigator Lindy Elkins-Tanton of Arizona State University, and it involves a team of scientists and engineers from NASA, JPL, Maxar Technologies, and other institutions.
Join us on this exciting journey to chart a metallic world that has never been seen before. Watch the video NASA Psyche Mission: Charting a Metallic World to learn more about the mission’s goals, challenges, and discoveries.
