Webb sharpens view of dark matter shaping the cosmos
Scientists have produced the most detailed map yet of the dark matter that threads through the Universe, revealing how this invisible component has guided the formation of galaxies, stars and planets over cosmic time.
The new map, created with observations from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope and published in Nature Astronomy, traces dark matter in a region of sky in the constellation Se New European Infrared Sounder Maps Atmosphere In Three Dimensions
The first images from Europe s pioneering meteorological infrared sounder were unveiled at the EU Space Conference in Brussels, marking a significant advance in observing the atmosphere in three dimensions ahead of severe weather.
The new data come from the Infrared Sounder instrument on Meteosat Third Generation Sounder 1, the first European geostationary satellite to carry a hyperspectra NASA and GE run hybrid jet engine test toward commercial flight
To an untrained eye, the aircraft engine sitting outside a Cincinnati area facility in December looked like standard hardware. For NASA and GE Aerospace researchers watching the unit fire up for a demonstration, it represented a hybrid engine performing at a level that could potentially power an airliner.
The engine, tested at GE Aerospace's Peebles Test Operation site in Ohio, is a modifi NASA Testing Advances Space Nuclear Propulsion Capabilities
Nuclear propulsion and power technologies could unlock new frontiers in missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond. NASA has reached an important milestone advancing nuclear propulsion that could benefit future deep space missions by completing a cold-flow test campaign of the first flight reactor engineering development unit since the 1960s.
