In 2017 and 2018 there will be three comets passing relatively close to Earth. One has the chance of being naked-eye brightness. With the help of amateur astronomers, NASA plans to study these in detail. Check out the latest Science at NASA.

The Snowpack in the Californian Mountains Quadruples

Profile picture for user Jesse Rogerson

Apr 24, 2017
Data from NASA's Airborne Snow Observatory shows that the snowpack in the Tuolumne Basin of the Sierra Nevada mountains is 1.5 cubic kilometers, which is more than the previous 4 years combined. Californians are surely enjoying the extra precipitation, as they have been in a drought for the last 5 years. The Airborne Snow Observatory uses a combination of LIDAR and Imaging Spectrometer fixed to a small plane to measure the snowpack in the mountains of California.

Steve and the Power of Citizen Science

Profile picture for user Jesse Rogerson
Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Apr 24, 2017
The power of Citizen Science is continuing to show as groups around the world make more and more discoveries. For example, groups of Aurora chasers and documentarians have identified a hereto unknown phenomenon in the sky. At the time, they called it "Steve," in homage to the Movie Over the Hedge (because they didn't know what it was!), however, they have since enlisted the help of Eric Donovan from the University of Calgary. Donovan works with the European Space Agency's (ESA) Swarm magnetic

A Look Back Towards Home...

Profile picture for user Jesse Rogerson
Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Apr 21, 2017
On the 12th of April 2017, the Cassini spacecraft orbiting Saturn took a minute to look back towards its home planet and snap a picture. At the time, the Earth, Moon, and all 7.125 billion humans were about 1.8 billion kilometers away. The fortuitous image catches Earth sitting between the A and F rings of Saturn, with the Keeler and Encke gaps visible as well. Cassini hasn't taken many pics of home, but this is probably my favourite so far. On 22 April 2017, Cassini will take a gravity assist

An Erupting Black Hole in a Large Elliptical Galaxy

Apr 21, 2017
A super massive black hole lurks at the centre of most galaxies. This fact alone indicates that black holes and galaxies must somehow co-evolve, each shepherding the others growth and function. But how do black holes and their host galaxies physically act on each other? In some recent work done using the Chandra X-ray Observatory, astrophysicists have found evidence of massive periodic jets shooting out from the centre of galaxy NGC 4696 (the 4696th galaxy in the New General Catalogue).

Two NASA Satellites were used to create this image of the straight of Gibraltar: Suomi NPP, and Aqua. The images were processed and combined to highlight the blooms of phytoplankton in the area, which has been caught up in the turbulent ocean currents moving through the strait.

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

Profile picture for user Jesse Rogerson
Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Apr 21, 2017
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
