Audio Described - How to Safely Watch a Total Solar Eclipse NASA Goddard 2024-03-21 | On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will cross North America, passing over Mexico, the United States, and Canada. A total solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, completely blocking the face of the Sun. When watching the partial phases of the solar eclipse it is not safe to look directly at the Sun without safe solar viewing glasses (eclipse glasses) or a safe handheld solar viewer. Eclipse glasses are NOT regular sunglasses; regular sunglasses, no matter how dark, are not safe for viewing the Sun. During the short time when the Moon completely obscures the Sun – known as the period of totality – it is safe to look directly at the star without eye protection. However, it’s crucial that you know when to both remove and put back on your safe solar viewing glasses.To learn more about eclipse safety visit go.nasa.gov/EclipseSafetyThis video includes audio descriptions.

It’s Time to Change Hubble’s Clock NASA Goddard 2024-05-03 | Remember that Y2K thing a few years ago? Where everyone was afraid the world was going to end because computer programmers saved space by putting dates as… 77 for 1977, 85 for 1985, Or 90 for 1990? But then it became clear that when the year 2000 finally rolled around all of the computers would think it was actually 00. Or the year 1900.Well, it turns out Hubble has something similar, only Hubble’s clock restarts every 6,213 days, 18 hours, 48 minutes, and 31.875 seconds. Or roughly every 17 years for those of you who like counting.That’s because Hubble’s computers have a different way of tracking time than we have here on the ground. You’d think it would be as simple as synching our ground clocks with Hubble’s personal timepiece, but you’d be surprised!For more information, visit nasa.gov/hubble.

XRISM Mission Captures Unmatched Data With Just 36 Pixels NASA Goddard 2024-04-30 | At a time when phone cameras are capable of taking snapshots with millions of pixels, an instrument on the Japan-led XRISM (X-ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission) captures revolutionary science with just 36 of them.That may sound impossible, but it’s true.XRISM (pronounced “crism”) is led by JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) in collaboration with NASA, along with contributions from ESA (European Space Agency). It launched into orbit last September and has been scrutinizing the cosmos ever since. The mission detects “soft” X-rays, which have energies up to 5,000 times greater than visible light. It will probe the universe’s hottest regions, largest structures, and objects with the strongest gravity, like supermassive black holes in the cores of distant galaxies.XRISM accomplishes this with an instrument named Resolve. Resolve's detector takes the temperature of each X-ray that strikes it. Astronomers call Resolve a microcalorimeter spectrometer because each of its 36 pixels measures the tiny amount of heat delivered by each incoming X-ray. This lets astronomers see the chemical fingerprints of elements making up the sources in unprecedented detail.In order to accomplish this, the entire detector must be chilled to 459.58 degrees below zero Fahrenheit (minus 273.1 degrees Celsius), just a whisker above absolute zero.The instrument is so precise it can detect the motions of elements within a target, effectively providing a 3D view. Gas moving toward us glows at slightly higher energies than normal, while gas moving away from us emits slightly lower energies. This will, for example, allow scientists to better understand the flow of hot gas within clusters of galaxies and to track the movement of different elements in the debris of supernova explosions.Resolve is taking astronomers into a new era of cosmic exploration — and with only three-dozen pixels.Music credit: "Wading Through" and “Stop and Hide” from Universal Production MusicCredit: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight CenterProducer: Scott Wiessinger (KBR Wyle Services, LLC)Science writer: Francis Reddy (University of Maryland College Park)Animator:Adriana Manrique Gutierrez (KBR Wyle Services, LLC)Animator: Scott Wiessinger (KBR Wyle Services, LLC)Writer: Scott Wiessinger (KBR Wyle Services, LLC)Narrator: Sophia Roberts (Advocates in Manpower Management, Inc.)This video can be freely shared and downloaded at svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/14463.

Moving Roman: Reaction Wheels NASA Goddard 2024-04-23 | Reaction wheels are an essential part of pointing most space telescopes. They are basically flywheels driven by electric motors, which makes them more precise than thrusters and capable of running indefinitely on solar power. They spin to store angular momentum. By slowing or speeding the rotation of a given wheel, changing the amount of momentum, a computer can precisely adjust how the spacecraft points around its center of mass in one plane. With three wheels set at specific angles, a satellite can control its pitch, roll and yaw to point in any direction and then hold that position without any change.NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope has added its set of reaction wheels to the main spacecraft body, or bus. Roman has six reaction wheels, rather than the necessary three, to give it more angular momentum for faster pointing, as well as complete redundancy should any one wheel fail.Each of Roman’s wheels is 18 inches across, weighs roughly 45 pounds, and spins up to 4,000 rpm.Music credit: "Breaking the Code" from Universal Production MusicCredit: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight CenterProducer: Scott Wiessinger (KBR Wyle Services, LLC)Animator:Jonathan North (KBR Wyle Services, LLC)Animator: Krystofer Kim (KBR Wyle Services, LLC)Videographer: Sophia Roberts (Advocates in Manpower Management, Inc.)Narrator: Scott Wiessinger (KBR Wyle Services, LLC)This video can be freely shared and downloaded at svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/14525.

NASA’s Fermi Mission Sees No Gamma Rays from Nearby Supernova NASA Goddard 2024-04-16 | A nearby supernova in 2023 offered astrophysicists an excellent opportunity to test ideas about how these types of explosions boost particles, called cosmic rays, to near light-speed. But surprisingly, NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope detected none of the high-energy gamma-ray light those particles should produce.On May 18, 2023, a supernova erupted in the nearby Pinwheel galaxy (Messier 101), located about 22 million light-years away in the constellation Ursa Major. The event, named SN 2023ixf, is the most luminous nearby supernova discovered since Fermi launched in 2008.Astrophysicists previously estimated that supernovae convert about 10% of their total energy into cosmic ray acceleration. Using Fermi observations of SN 2023ixf, scientists calculated an energy conversion as low as 1% within a few days after the explosion. This doesn’t rule out supernovae as cosmic ray factories, but it does mean we have more to learn about their production.Scientists have been investigating cosmic ray origins since the early 1900s, but the particles can’t be traced back to their sources. Because they’re electrically charged, cosmic rays change course as they travel to Earth thanks to magnetic fields they encounter.Gamma rays, however, do travel directly to us. And cosmic rays produce gamma rays when they interact with matter in their environment. Fermi is the most sensitive gamma-ray telescope in orbit, so when it doesn’t detect an expected signal, scientists must explain the absence.In 2013, Fermi measurements showed that supernova remnants in our own Milky Way galaxy were accelerating cosmic rays, which generated gamma-ray light when they struck interstellar matter. But astronomers say the remnants aren’t producing enough high-energy particles to match scientists’ measurements on Earth.One theory proposes that supernovae may accelerate the most energetic cosmic rays in our galaxy in the first few days and weeks after the initial explosion.But supernovae are rare, occurring only a few times a century in a galaxy like the Milky Way. Out to distances of around 32 million light-years, a supernova occurs, on average, just once a year.After a month of observations, starting when visible light telescopes first saw SN 2023ixf, Fermi had not detected gamma rays.The researchers propose a few scenarios that may have affected Fermi’s ability to see gamma rays from the event, like the way the explosion distributed debris and the density of material surrounding the star.Fermi’s observations provide the first opportunity to study conditions right after the supernova explosion. Additional observations of SN 2023ixf at other wavelengths, new simulations and models based on this event, and future studies of other young supernovae will help astronomers home in on the mysterious sources of the universe’s cosmic rays.Music credit: "Trial" from Universal Production MusicCredit: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight CenterProducer: Scott Wiessinger (Rothe Ares Joint Venture)Science writer: Jeanette Kazmierczak (University of Maryland College Park)Narrator: Scott Wiessinger (Rothe Ares Joint Venture)This video can be freely shared and downloaded at svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/14522.

Chasing the 2024 Total Solar Eclipse With NASA Jets NASA Goddard 2024-04-03 | The April 8, 2024 total solar eclipse will produce stunning views across North America. While anyone along the eclipse path with a clear sky will see the spectacular event, the best view might be 50,000 feet in the air, aboard NASA’s WB-57 jet planes. That’s where a trio of NASA-funded teams are sending their scientific instruments to take measurements of the eclipse. Two teams will image the Sun’s outer atmosphere – the corona – and a third will measure the ionosphere, the upper electrically charged layer of Earth’s atmosphere. This information will help scientists better understand the structure and temperature of the corona, the effects of the Sun on Earth’s atmosphere, and even aid in the search of asteroids that may orbit near the Sun.

Volunteers Help ESA & NASA Mission to Discover 5,000 Comets NASA Goddard 2024-03-27 | The Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO), a joint mission of ESA (European Space Agency) and NASA, has discovered its 5,000th comet, thanks to the help of volunteer comet hunters participating in the NASA-funded Sungrazer Project.The sungrazing comet was spotted in SOHO images on March 25, 2024, by Hanjie Tan in the Czech Republic, who has participated in the Sungrazer Project since he was 13 years old. The comet is small and has a short orbital period around the Sun. It belongs to the “Marsden group” of comets, which are thought to be related to the larger comet 96P/Machholz. The group is named after the late scientist Brian Marsden, who first recognized the group using SOHO observations.To learn more about the discovery and SOHO, visit: science.nasa.gov/science-research/heliophysics/esa-nasa-solar-observatory-discovers-its-5000th-cometSince the early 2000s, the Sungrazer Project has allowed anyone with a computer to search for comets in images taken by the SOHO spacecraft.To learn more about the Sungrazer Project, visit: science.nasa.gov/citizen-science/the-sungrazer-projectMusic credit: "Machines Made This" by Brian Colin Burrows [PRS] from Universal Production MusicSound effects: PixabayCredit: NASA's Goddard Space Flight CenterProducer: Lacey Young (MORI Associates)Editor: Lacey Young (MORI Associates)Videographer: Joy Ng (National Institute of Aerospace)Advisor: Beth Anthony (MORI Associates)Scientist: Karl Battams (U.S. Naval Research Laboratory)This video can be freely shared and downloaded at svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/14552.

ExtraDimensional - The Fusion of Landsat & GEDI Data NASA Goddard 2024-03-21 | We live amongst an intricate tapestry of ecosystems - ecosystems that, for the last 50 years, Landsat has kept close watch on from orbit. Landsat's vast decades-long archive provides researchers a unique opportunity to study the surface of our planet back across space and time. And when combined with data from other instruments, such as NASA's GEDI mission, Landsat data can provide amazing insight into how our world is evolving with us and around us. So let's take a look into some of the ways Landsat and GEDI data are being harnessed to help us better understand the complex relationship between humanity and nature.Music Credits:“A Child’s Journey” Matthew Nicholson [PRS], ELIAS Music“Pretty Particles” Fritz Doddy [ASCAP], EVO“Neutral Thinking” Nicolas Montazaud [SACEM], Koka“The Idealists” Fred Dubois [SACEM], Koka“Marimba Enigma” Fred Dubois [SACEM], Koka“Building Happiness” Florian Moenks [GEMA] & Matthew Anderson [PRS], Sketch MusicCredits:Credit: NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center/Scientific Visualization StudioChris Burns [ROTHE ARES Joint Venture]: Lead ProducerChris Burns [ROTHE ARES Joint Venture]: Lead WriterThis video can be freely shared and downloaded at svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/14478.

Hubble Tracks Jupiter’s Stormy Weather NASA Goddard 2024-03-14 | The giant planet Jupiter, in all its banded glory, takes the spotlight in these new images from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope that capture both sides of the planet.Big enough to swallow Earth, the classic Great Red Spot storm stands out prominently in Jupiter’s atmosphere. To its lower right, at a more southerly latitude, is a feature sometimes dubbed Red Spot Jr. This giant storm, called an anticyclone, was the result of other storms merging in 1998 and 2000, and it first appeared red in 2006.Studying the planets in our solar system helps us understand our own weather patterns closer to home, and allows us to theorize what potential exoplanet weather is like in other star systems in our universe.For more information, visit nasa.gov/hubble.

Using Infrared Light to Survey the Milky Way Galaxy NASA Goddard 2024-03-12 | Observatories with smaller views of space have provided exquisite images of other galaxies, revealing complex structures. But studying our own galaxy’s anatomy is surprisingly difficult. The plane of the Milky Way covers such a large area on the sky that studying it in detail can take a very long time. Astronomers also must peer through thick dust that obscures distant starlight. Infrared light can pass through that dust and is a key tool for learning about the far side of our galaxy.Music Credit: "Time Shift Equalibrium" from Universal Production MusicCredit: NASA's Goddard Space Flight CenterScott Wiessinger (KBR Wyle Services, LLC): ProducerAshley Balzer (ADNET Systems, Inc.): Science WriterThis video can be freely shared and downloaded at svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/14521.

Leap Day: Its Not Just Earth NASA Goddard 2024-02-29 | We get a whole extra day today!But why?We usually say that there are 365 days in a year, or how long it takes for Earth to orbit the Sun, but it’s really more like 365.25. (Where one day is one rotation of Earth on its axis.) To make up for the missing partial day, we add one day to our calendar about every 4 years. It turns out a few extra hours can really add up!Leap years allow our calendar year to match the solar year. That accuracy is important for laser communications with spacecraft, long-term climate models of our planet, and more. If we subtracted 5 hours, 46 minutes and 48 seconds every year for many years, it would add up!Learn more about leap years: spaceplace.nasa.gov/leap-yearMusic: "The Most Beautiful Cupcake" by Damien Deshayes [SACEM] from Universal Production MusicCredit: NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center/Scientific Visualization StudioKaty Mersmann (NASA/GSFC): ProducerSofie Bates (eMITS): Social Media SupportMolly Wasser (AdNet Systems): Social Media SupportIf you liked this video, subscribe to the NASA Goddard YouTube channel: youtube.com/NASAGoddardFollow NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center· Instagram http://www.instagram.com/nasagoddard· Twitter http://twitter.com/NASAGoddard· Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/NASAGoddard· Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/gsfcVideo description:0:00 A woman with brown hair wearing a NASA shirt and holding a calendar open to February.

The Moon and the 2024 Total Solar Eclipse NASA Goddard 2024-02-28 | On April 8th, 2024, parts of the United States, Mexico and Canada will get to experience a total solar eclipse. This video tutorial takes a look at this unique event and explains what role the Moon plays in creating it. The video explains how the two parts of the Moon’s shadow, the umbra and penumbra, affect how we see a solar eclipse on Earth, and where the path of totality for the 2024 eclipse resides. In addition, this video highlights how data from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter helps us more accurately depict the shape of the umbra when creating eclipse maps.Video Credit: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center Video Produced and Edited by: David Ladd (Abacus Technology Corp.)Visualizations by: Ernie Wright (USRA) Music Provided By Universal Production Music: “On the Up” – David Stephen WestlakeThis video can be freely shared and downloaded at svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/14527While the video in its entirety can be shared without permission, the music and some individual imagery may have been obtained through permission and may not be excised or remixed in other products.

Different Ways to Safely View a Solar Eclipse NASA Goddard 2024-02-26 | Do you know how to safely view a solar eclipse? There are more ways than one! To protect your eyes while looking at a solar eclipse, always use proper eye protection for solar viewing – such as solar viewing glasses (often called “eclipse glasses”) or a handheld solar viewer – when any part of the bright solar disk is visible. To use telescopes or binoculars to look directly at the Sun, you must install a certified solar filter to the front of the instrument. Don’t have eclipse glasses or other equipment? You can use an indirect viewing method to project sunlight onto another surface and see the shape of the Sun throughout the eclipse. There are many ways you can do this from using materials around your house, tree leaves, or even your hands.To learn more about solar eclipse safety, visit: science.nasa.gov/eclipses/future-eclipses/eclipse-2024/safety For a version of this video with audio descriptions: youtu.be/2Fx0eiJpc2oMusic credit: "Back From The Brink" by Daniel Gunnar Louis Trachtenberg [PRS], “Hive Mind” by Ben De Vries [PRS] and Cam Tigre [PRS] from Universal Production MusicAdditional footage: NASA EDGESound effects: PixabayCredit: NASA's Goddard Space Flight CenterProducer: Lacey Young (MORI Associates)Writers: Lacey Young (MORI Associates), Beth Anthony (MORI Associates), Vanessa Thomas (KBRwyle)Narrator: Lacey Young (MORI Associates)This video can be freely shared and downloaded at svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/14532.

How to Safely Watch a Total Solar Eclipse NASA Goddard 2024-02-15 | On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will cross North America, passing over Mexico, the United States, and Canada. A total solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, completely blocking the face of the Sun. When watching the partial phases of the solar eclipse it is not safe to look directly at the Sun without safe solar viewing glasses (eclipse glasses) or a safe handheld solar viewer. Eclipse glasses are NOT regular sunglasses; regular sunglasses, no matter how dark, are not safe for viewing the Sun. During the short time when the Moon completely obscures the Sun – known as the period of totality – it is safe to look directly at the star without eye protection. However, it’s crucial that you know when to both remove and put back on your safe solar viewing glasses.To learn more about eclipse safety visit go.nasa.gov/EclipseSafetyFor a version of this video with audio descriptions: youtu.be/ANTGA_-8ZAMMusic Credit: “Just Vibing Instrumental” by Runone [PRS], Simon Richard Tew [PRS] via Universal Production MusicVideo credit: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight CenterProducer: Beth AnthonyWriter: Vanessa ThomasThis video can be freely shared and downloaded at svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/14509.

Why Did NASA Choose Asteroid Bennu? NASA Goddard 2024-02-15 | OSIRIS-REx was the first U.S. mission to retrieve a sample from an asteroid and deliver it to Earth. So, of the more than one million known asteroids in our solar system, why did NASA choose the near-Earth asteroid Bennu for its target? Three factors made Bennu ideal: proximity to Earth, the right size and spin rate, and a carbon-rich composition. Now, scientists studying the Bennu samples are learning more about the history of our solar system and the origins of life – thanks to this one-in-a-million asteroid.

Hubble Uncovers Water Vapor In Small Exoplanet’s Atmosphere NASA Goddard 2024-01-25 | Astronomers using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope have observed water vapor in the atmosphere of the smallest exoplanet ever detected. Located 97 light-years away, planet GJ 9827d is approximately twice the size of Earth. This finding raises the possibility of other planets with water-rich atmospheres in our galaxy. However, it remains uncertain whether the observed water vapor is in a hydrogen-rich atmosphere or if the planet's atmosphere is predominantly water.Water on a planet this small is a landmark discovery, pushing us closer than ever to characterizing truly Earth-like worlds, and thanks to the Hubble Space Telescope we’ll be able to continue our search for more planets like our own.For more information, visit nasa.gov/hubble.

Sonification of Arp 140 NASA Goddard 2024-01-24 | This data sonification of Arp 140 shows a pair of interacting galaxies. The leftmost galaxy is a barred spiral galaxy known as NGC 275, and the right-side galaxy is a lenticular galaxy called NGC 274. In barred spiral galaxies, a bar of stars runs through the central bulge of the galaxy (seen here as a bright-white, vertical haze in NGC 275). Lenticular galaxies, on the other hand, are classified somewhere between elliptical and spiral galaxies, getting their name from the edge-on appearance that resembles a disk. They typically don’t have much gas and dust and are made up primarily of old stars. Scientists sonified the data in this image, assigning pitch to color for the image as a whole (bluer light is higher, redder is lower). Pitch is mapped to brightness for the resolved stars and background galaxies, based on their apparent size – objects that appear bigger are lower, and smaller are higher in pitch. Brighter light is louder throughout the image. Credit: NASA, ESA, and R.

Narrated Tour of Fermis 14-Year Gamma-Ray Time-Lapse NASA Goddard 2023-12-20 | The cosmos comes alive in an all-sky time-lapse movie made from 14 years of data acquired by NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. Our Sun, occasionally flaring into prominence, serenely traces a path though the sky against the backdrop of high-energy sources within our galaxy and beyond.Gamma rays are the highest-energy form of light. The movie shows the intensity of gamma rays with energies above 200 million electron volts (MeV) detected by Fermi’s Large Area Telescope (LAT) between August 2008 and August 2022. For comparison, visible light has energies between 2 and 3 electron volts. Brighter colors mark the locations of more intense gamma-ray sources.The movie shows the sky in two different views. The rectangular view shows the entire sky with the center of our galaxy in the middle. This highlights the central plane of the Milky Way, which glows in gamma rays produced from cosmic rays striking interstellar gas and starlight. It’s also flecked with many other sources, including neutron stars and supernova remnants. Above and below this central band, we’re looking out of our galaxy and into the wider universe, peppered with bright, rapidly changing sources.Most of these are actually distant galaxies, and they’re better seen in a different view centered on our galaxy’s north and south poles. Each of these galaxies, called blazars, hosts a central black hole with a mass of a million or more Suns. Somehow, the black holes produce extremely fast-moving jets of matter, and with blazars we’re looking almost directly down one of these jets, a view that enhances their brightness and variability.Many of these galaxies are extremely far away. For example, the light from a blazar known as 4C +21.35 has been traveling for 4.6 billion years, which means that a flare up we see today actually occurred as our Sun and solar system were beginning to form. Other bright blazars are more than twice as distant, and together provide striking snapshots of black hole activity throughout cosmic time.Not seen in the time-lapse are many short-duration events that Fermi studies, such as gamma-ray bursts, the most powerful cosmic explosions. This is a result of processing data across several days to sharpen the images.Access video descriptive text here: svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a010000/a014300/a014399/Fermi_14Year_Narrated_HTML_Video_Descriptive_Text.htmlMusic credit: "Expanding Shell" written and produced by Lars Leonhard.Credit: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center and NASA/DOE/LAT CollaborationProducer: Scott Wiessinger (Rothe Ares Joint Venture)Science writer: Francis Reddy (University of Maryland College Park)Visualizer: Seth Digel (SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory)Narrator: Judith Racusin (NASA/GSFC)Scientist: Judith Racusin (NASA/GSFC)This video can be freely shared and downloaded at svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/14399.

Fermis 14-Year Time-Lapse of the Gamma-Ray Sky NASA Goddard 2023-12-20 | The entire gamma-ray sky is unwrapped into a rectangular map, with the center of our Milky Way galaxy located in the middle, in this 14-year time-lapse of the gamma-ray sky. A moving source, our Sun, can be seen following a curving path through the sky, a reflection of Earth’s annual orbital motion. Watch for strong flares that occasionally brighten the Sun. The central plane of our galaxy is on full display, glowing in gamma rays produced when accelerated particles (cosmic rays) interact with interstellar gas and starlight. Pulsars and supernova remnants, all bright gamma-ray sources for Fermi, also fleck the Milky Way band. Above and below the bright central plane, where our view of the broader cosmos becomes clearer, splotches of color brighten and fade. These sources are jets of particles moving at nearly the speed of light driven by supermassive black holes in distant galaxies. The jets happen to point almost directly toward Earth, which enhances their brightness and variability. Over a few days, these galaxies can erupt to become some of the brighest objects in the gamma-ray sky and then fade to obscurity. In these maps, brighter colors indicate greater numbers of gamma rays detected by Fermi’s Large Area Telescope from Aug. 10, 2008, to Aug. 2, 2022.For a version of this video with audio descriptions: youtu.be/4j26vIQrbwgMusic credit: "Expanding Shell" written and produced by Lars Leonhard.Credit: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center and NASA/DOE/LAT CollaborationProducer: Scott Wiessinger (Rothe Ares Joint Venture)Science writer: Francis Reddy (University of Maryland College Park)Visualizer: Seth Digel (SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory)Scientist: Judith Racusin (NASA/GSFC)This video can be freely shared and downloaded at svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/14399.
