The Beginning of the End for Cassini

A short description of the upcoming Grand Finale of the Cassini Spacecraft. Over the next 5 months, Cassini will make 22 plunges between Saturn's rings and the planet itself. No craft has ever been that close. During this final phase, Cassini will make close up measurements of the rings for the first time, image the planet's cloud-tops in unprecedented detail, and even answer long-standing questions like: how fast does Saturn actually rotate? It's going to be a very interesting 5 months.

This composite image of Earth and its moon, as seen from Mars, combines the best Earth image with the best moon image from four sets of images acquired on Nov. 20, 2016, by the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (@HiRISE) camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.

How Could the Moon Generate a Magnetic Field?

Profile picture for user Jesse Rogerson
Jesse Rogerson, PhD
Canada Aviation and Space Museum
Apr 21, 2017
The Earth's magnetic field is powered by an internal dynamo at the core of the planet. At the very centre of the Earth is a very hot, solid, iron core that is surrounded by an outer liquid iron region. The heat from the inner core drives convection in the outer core (hot parts of the liquid rise, cool parts fall). All the while, the core is rotating. Since the liquid outer core is a conductor, the motions of rotation and convection generates a magnetic field. The Moon has no such magnetic field

Puncturing the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation

The cosmic microwave background (CMB) is light that has been travelling towards us for almost the entire age of the Universe. The light was set on its path at the moment atoms formed, just 400,000 years after the big bang, and about 13.8 billion years ago. As the Universe matured and expanded, galaxies and galaxy clusters formed, hot beds of star formation, gas, dust, black holes, and other matter. As the light from the big bang encountered the galaxy clusters, the hot gas would scatter the

MMX - Martian Moons eXploration

Apr 21, 2017
In early April 2017, the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS), a division of the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), announced a new robotic explorer to be launched towards Mars in 2024: the Martian Moons Exploration (MMX). The goal is not to observe the red planet, but its two moons: Phobos and Deimos. These two moons (about 25 km wide) are just a fraction the size of Earth's Moon (about 3400 km wide), and their origins are still disputed. Maybe Phobos and Deimos were

What to do about Space Junk

Human's have been launching satellites into space since 1957, and now the current number of objects in orbit larger than 10 cm is about 23,000. The growing number poses a real threat to the future of space exploration. Humanity will need to solve this problem moving forward, and ideas are currently being discussed.

NASA recently released a more in-depth look at its missions beyond low-Earth orbit. The whole vision is being dubbed the 'Journey to Mars:' a 2 phase program designed to step further and further way from Earth. The first phase will place a space station in lunar orbit. The second phase will see humans launching off to the red planet.

Loops and Nebulae

This nebula, named Lynds' Dark Nebula (LDN) 1622 (the 1622 dark nebula catalogued by Beverly T. Lynds), is a dim and dusty cloud of gas. It is approximately 500 light years away (meaning, it takes light about 500 years to travel the distance), and about 10 light-years across (which would be about 10x bigger than our solar system). Lynds' list originally contained 1802 objects she found by visual inspection of the Palomar Observatory Sky Survey (POSS I) catalog. POSS I was a survey that imaged

Exoplanet TRAPPIST-1e May Be Just Right for Life

Tucked between a boiled-away desert and a giant snowball, an alien world called TRAPPIST-1e may be the only habitable planet in a newly discovered batch of seven, according to a new climate model.
