Space Station Tricorder
Astronauts are using a Star Trek tricorder-like device to keep track of microscopic life forms onboard the International Space Station.
Planets by the Dozen
A NASA-funded survey set to begin in 2008 could dramatically increase the number of known planets outside our solar system.
A Super Solar Flare
In September 1859, a solar flare erupted so intense that the explosion itself was visible to the human eye. A ferocious geomagnetic storm ensued in which Northern Lights descended as far south as Cuba, the Bahamas and Hawaii. Meanwhile, telegraph engineers disconnected their batteries and powered communications by electricity from the auroras! Could it happen again?

National Space Grant College and Fellowship Project
22 Apr 2008
NASA initiated the National Space Grant College and Fellowship Program, also known as Space Grant, in 1989. Space Grant is a national network of colleges and universities. These institutions are working to expand opportunities for Americans to understand and participate in NASA's aeronautics and space projects by supporting and enhancing science and engineering education, research and public outreach efforts. The Space Grant national network includes over 850 affiliates from universities, colleges, industry, museums, science centers, and state and local agencies. These affiliates belong to one of 52 consortia in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
Lunar Science Conference at Ames
14 Apr 2008
The NLSI Lunar Science Conference will be held July 20–23, 2008, at the NASA Ames Conference Center, adjacent to NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, California. The conference will review the state of knowledge of, and opportunities for science:
Of the Moon: Study the nature and history of the Moon (including research on lunar samples) to learn about this specific object and thereby provide insights into the evolution of our solar system;
On the Moon: Investigate the effects of the lunar environment on terrestrial life and the equipment that supports lunar inhabitants, and the effects on the lunar environment of robotic and human presence;
From the Moon: Use the Moon as a platform for performing scientific investigations, including observations of the Earth and other celestial phenomena that are uniquely enabled by being on the lunar surface.
Sessions will be structured to report on recent results and anticipate future opportunities for lunar science. Papers on elements of education and public outreach will be included to better understand how lunar exploration can be used to stimulate public interest in space exploration and improve science literacy.
