Picture the scene: A small drone the size of a suitcase descends into a dark Martian crevasse perhaps a lava tube that was formed billions of years ago by volcanic activity on the Red Planet. The drone illuminates its surroundings, recording views never seen before by human eyes as its suite of instruments seeks out signs of past or present alien biology. Finally, its reconnaissance complete, the drone flies back to a landing zone on the surface to transmit invaluable data back to Earth. After soaking up the Martian sunlight to recharge its batteries, it c ....

Skywatch: What's happening in the heavens in May


Skywatch: What’s happening in the heavens in May
Blaine P. Friedlander Jr.
Venus and
sun as it sets in the west-northwest.
The fleet Mercury at zero magnitude, bright enough to see in the dark heavens climbs the western sky until the middle of May, when it appears to retreat again toward the western horizon to greet Venus (-3.8 magnitude, very bright) leading to a conjunction May 29, according to the U.S. Naval Observatory.
The new
moon occurs May 11, but you probably won’t be able to see the skinny young moon until May 13, when it nudges Mercury low on the western horizon just after dusk. ....

SwRI-led PUNCH mission launches associate investigator program


 E-Mail
SAN ANTONIO April 27, 2021 The Polarimeter to UNify the Corona and Heliosphere (PUNCH) mission has selected four early career scientists as associate investigators to pursue solar science under the mentorship of senior PUNCH science team members. Southwest Research Institute is leading PUNCH, a NASA Small Explorer (SMEX) mission that will integrate understanding of the Sun s corona, the outer atmosphere visible during total solar eclipses, with the solar wind filling the solar system.
The solar wind, a supersonic stream of charged particles emitted by the Sun, fills the heliosphere, the bubble-like region of space encompassing our solar system. Its boundary, where the interstellar medium and solar wind pressures balance, ends the sphere of the Sun s influence. ....
