NASA heads into 2010 with the bittersweet assignment of retiring the space shuttle after nearly three decades. But that's not all the agency has planned: There are also launches of three new satellites aimed at better understanding the Earth's climate and oceans, and the sun. http://www.physorg.com/news181026854.html Space & Earth Sat, 26 Dec 2009 05:15:34 EST news181026854 (PhysOrg.com) -- A new map combining nearly three months of data from NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope is giving astronomers an unprecedented look at the high-energy cosmos. To Fermi's eyes, the universe is ablaze with gamma rays from sources ranging from within the solar system to galaxies billions of light-years away. http://www.physorg.com/news155994698.html Space & Earth Wed, 11 Mar 2009 12:52:37 EST news155994698 An early warning system, more than a decade in development, successfully predicted the 2006-2007 outbreak of the deadly Rift Valley fever in northeast Africa, according to a new study led by NASA scientists. http://www.physorg.com/news154018681.html Other Sciences Mon, 16 Feb 2009 14:59:12 EST news154018681 (PhysOrg.com) -- NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, or LRO, spacecraft was loaded on a truck Wednesday to begin its two-day journey to NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Launch is targeted for April 24. http://www.physorg.com/news153596607.html Space & Earth Wed, 11 Feb 2009 17:45:38 EST news153596607 Today, NASA researchers announced an event that will transform our view of the Sun and, in the process, super-charge the field of solar physics for many years to come. http://www.physorg.com/news152204440.html Space & Earth Mon, 26 Jan 2009 15:01:09 EST news152204440 Scientists need a more detailed understanding of how human-produced atmospheric particles, called aerosols, affect climate in order to produce better predictions of Earth's future climate, according to a NASA-led report issued by the U.S. Climate Change Science Program on Friday. http://www.physorg.com/news151383514.html Space & Earth Sat, 17 Jan 2009 02:58:34 EST news151383514 (PhysOrg.com) -- Listening to the early universe just got harder. A team led by Alan Kogut of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., today announced the discovery of cosmic radio noise that booms six times louder than expected. http://www.physorg.com/news150569765.html Space & Earth Wed, 07 Jan 2009 16:56:05 EST news150569765 (PhysOrg.com) -- NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has discovered 12 new gamma-ray-only pulsars and has detected gamma-ray pulses from 18 others. The finds are transforming our understanding of how these stellar cinders work. http://www.physorg.com/news150483177.html Space & Earth Tue, 06 Jan 2009 16:52:57 EST news150483177 (PhysOrg.com) -- An ongoing X-ray survey undertaken by NASA's Swift spacecraft is revealing differences between nearby active galaxies and those located about halfway across the universe. Understanding these differences will help clarify the relationship between a galaxy and its central black hole. http://www.physorg.com/news150482218.html Space & Earth Tue, 06 Jan 2009 16:36:58 EST news150482218
