  Baltimore MD (SPX) Nov 09, 2021 The Hubble team successfully recovered the Advanced Camera for Surveys instrument Nov. 7. The instrument has started taking science observations once again. Hubble's other instruments remain in safe mode while NASA continues investigating the lost synchronization messages first detected Oct. 23. The camera was selected as the first instrument to recover as it faces the fewest complications should a lost message occur. Over the past week, the mission team has continued investigating the root cause ... read more |

 Heidelberg, Germany (SPX) Nov 08, 2021 
A group of astronomers, led by scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy, propose and have tested a mechanism that explains most of the properties observed in dispersing planet-forming disks around newborn stars for the first time. The key ingredients to this new physical concept are X-ray emissions from the central star and a calm inner disk, well shielded from the incident radiati ... more |

 Pasadena CA (JPL) Nov 08, 2021 
After our short bump on Tuesday, Curiosity has reached a new potential drill location. When we first arrived at the clay-sulfate transition, the science team decided on a strategy to drill every ~25 m in elevation gain.
This allows us to systematically document any changes in the composition of the terrain while being reasonable with our limited rover resources. The terrain is beginning t ... more |

 New York NY (SPX) Nov 10, 2021 
Something big happened to the planet about a million years ago. There was a major shift in the response of Earth's climate system to variations in our orbit around the Sun. The shift is called the Mid-Pleistocene Transition. Before the MPT, cycles between glacial (colder) and interglacial (warmer) periods happened every 41,000 years. After the MPT, glacial periods became more intense-intense eno ... more |
