The US space agency on Saturday celebrated the 100th birthday of astronaut John Glenn who changed the history of spaceflight, becoming the first American to orbit the planet.
The study, conducted in collaboration with scientists from the University of Hawaii, is the first that takes into account all known oceanic and astronomical causes for floods.
A study, led by the members of NASA Sea Level Change Science Team from the University of Hawaii, has predicted a decade of "dramatic increases" in flood numbers around the world, especially in the US, starting mid-2030s.
A powerful solar storm is approaching Earth at a speed of 1.6 million km and this storm will hit Earth either on July 11 or July 12.
During Flight 9, the mini chopper flew over a rugged region called "Seitah" -- characterised by sandy ripples that is very challenging terrain for rovers and took colour images.
NASA's self-driving six-wheeled robot on Mars -- the Perseverance rover -- is set to start an epic journey across a crater floor to seek signs of ancient life, the US space agency said on Friday.
NASA has been ranked as the best place to work in the US federal government for the ninth consecutive year.
Microplastics from when plastic trash in the ocean breaks down from the sun's rays and the motion of ocean waves.
Scientists from the University of Michigan have developed an innovative way to use NASA satellite data to track the movement of tiny pieces of plastic in the ocean.
The Mars helicopter was built by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California, which also manages this technology demonstration project for NASA Headquarters.
When astronauts are in low gravity their body's relationship with microbes changes, said University of Hawaii professor Margaret McFall-Ngai, who Foster studied under in the 1990s.
Hubble, which has been watching the universe over the past 30 years, faced trouble with its payload computer on June 13. An attempt to restart the computer failed on June 14, NASA said.
To reach this conclusion, scientists compared data from two independent measurements -- NASA's Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) and data from a global array of ocean floats called Argo that enable an accurate estimate of the rate at which the world's oceans are heating up.
In the latest announcement from Nasa’s solar system exploration program, two missions have been given the go-ahead – and they’re both bound for Venus.
The flyby will yield striking insights into the moon's composition, ionosphere, magnetosphere, and ice shell. Juno's measurements of the radiation environment near the moon will also benefit future missions to the Jovian system -- encompassing Jupiter, its rings and moons, NASA said.
One mission named DaVinci Plus will analyse the thick, cloudy Venusian atmosphere in an attempt to determine whether the inferno planet ever had an ocean and was possibly habitable. It will be the first US-led mission to the Venusian atmosphere since 1978
NASA's Mars Curiosity rover has captured shining clouds on the Red Planet, which arrived earlier and formed higher than expected.
NASA has released a stunning new picture of our galaxy’s violent, super-energized “downtown.” It's a composite of 370 observations over the past two decades by the orbiting Chandra X-ray Observatory, depicting billions of stars and countless black holes in the center, or heart, of the Milky Way.
