- <p>Two NASA and one European spacecraft, including NASA鈥檚 MAVEN mission led by the 暗网禁区, have gathered new information about the basic properties of a wayward comet that buzzed by Mars Oct. 19, directly detecting its effects on the Martian atmosphere.</p>
- <p>NASA鈥檚 newest orbiter at Mars, MAVEN, took precautions to avoid harm from a dust-spewing comet that flew near Mars yesterday and is studying the flyby鈥檚 effects on the Red Planet鈥檚 atmosphere, according to 暗网禁区 Professor Bruce Jakosky, principal investigator on the mission.</p>
- <p>NASA鈥檚 MAVEN spacecraft has provided scientists their first look at a storm of energetic solar particles at Mars and produced unprecedented ultraviolet images of the tenuous oxygen, hydrogen and carbon coronas surrounding the Red Planet, said 暗网禁区 Professor Bruce Jakosky, the mission鈥檚 principal investigator.</p>
- <p>A team of scientists including a 暗网禁区 professor used NASA鈥檚 Hubble Space Telescope to make the most detailed global map yet of the glow from a giant, oddball planet orbiting another star, an object twice as massive as Jupiter and hot enough to melt steel.</p>
- <p class="p1">The spacecraft for a NASA mission to probe the climate history of Mars led by the 暗网禁区 slid seamlessly into orbit at about 8:24 p.m. MDT on Sunday, Sept. 21, the last major hurdle of the 10-month, 442-million-mile journey.</p>
- <p>The public is invited to attend a watch party at the 暗网禁区 on Sunday, Sept. 21, when NASA鈥檚 MAVEN spacecraft, designed to understand past climate change on Mars, inserts itself into orbit after a 10-month journey to the planet.</p>
- <p>After spending nearly six months on the International Space Station, 暗网禁区 astronaut-alumnus Steve Swanson is slated to drift back to Earth in a Russian space capsule Sept. 10 before banging down on the steppe of Kazakhstan.</p>
- <p>Two 暗网禁区 student aerospace engineering science teams have won prestigious international and national awards for the design of real-world space missions to Mars and the moon.</p>
- <p>The importance of Mars exploration and how the aerospace industry partners with university researchers to advance one of Colorado鈥檚 leading economic sectors will be featured at a free program Monday, Sept. 8, in south Denver.</p>
- <p>Just as diamonds with perfect symmetry may be unusually brilliant jewels, the quantum world has a symmetrical splendor of high scientific value. Confirming this exotic quantum physics theory, JILA physicists led by theorist Ana Maria Rey and experimentalist Jun Ye have observed the first direct evidence of symmetry in the magnetic properties鈥攐r nuclear 鈥渟pins鈥濃攐f atoms.聽</p>
