Since man first touched the moon and brought pieces of it back to Earth, scientists have thought that the lunar surface was bone dry.
But new observations from three different spacecraft have put this notion to rest with what has been called “unambiguous evidence” of water across the surface of the moon.
The new findings, detailed in [...]

Prima misiune lunara indiana a confirmat prezenta apei pe Luna. Datele culese de Chandrayaan-1 au fost interpretate cu ajutorul NASA care a anuntat ca Luna gazduieste mari cantitati de apa.
Naveta spatiala indiana nu a avut echipaj uman si a fost dotata de NASA cu sisteme speciale de identificare a surselor de apa, cu ajutorul radiatiilor [...]

NASA scientists have discovered a mysterious ribbon around our solar system —- a stripe made of hydrogen —- that defies all current expectations about what the edge of the solar system might look like.
Richard Fisher, the director of NASA’s Heliophysics Division, tells NPR’s Guy Raz that this discovery is a big moment for the scientific [...]

NASA is facing a critical deadline to make its biggest decision in a generation: whether to go forward with plans to retire the space shuttle fleet and replace it with a new mode of space travel.
But the agency still has no chief to make the $230 billion call.
NASA seems so far off the White House [...]

Space shuttle Discovery and its crew of seven rocketed into orbit Sunday evening, setting off on a space station construction mission cut short by launch delays that dragged on for more than a month.
The launch, though late, turned out to be flawless and the prettiest NASA managers had ever seen.
Discovery rose from its seaside pad [...]

A NASA mission to monitor global warming from space ended Tuesday when a satellite plunged into the ocean near Antarctica minutes after launch.
An equipment malfunction was apparently to blame, officials said. The loss of the $280 million mission came a month after Japan launched the world’s first spacecraft to track global warming emissions.
The failure dealt [...]

Back when he was a high school student, in April 1981, Robert Ess says he was absolutely transfixed by NASA’s very first flight of its new space shuttle. “I was obsessed with it,” he says.
The aging shuttle fleet is scheduled to be mothballed next year, after construction of the international space station is complete.
Now Ess [...]

Between 1.5 trillion and 2 trillion tons of ice in Greenland, Antarctica and Alaska has melted at an accelerating rate since 2003, according to NASA scientists, in the latest signs of what they say is global warming.
Using new satellite technology that measures changes in mass in mountain glaciers and ice sheets, NASA geophysicist Scott Luthcke [...]
