NASA says a spacecraft that has been examining the sun's outermost atmosphere recently got closer to our Earth's star than any past explorer has. 美国宇航局表示，一艘一直在检查太阳最外层大气层的航天器最近比任何过去的探测器都更接近我们的地球恒星。 The American space agency announced its Parker Solar Probe passed within 6.1 million kilometers of the sun's outer corona on December 24. Mission leaders established communication with the spacecraft after the operation and said the orbiter was safe.美国航天局宣布帕克太阳探测器于12月24日通过距太阳外日冕610万公里以内的区域。任务负责人在操作后与航天器建立了联系，并表示轨道飞行器是安全的。 NASA launched the Parker Solar Probe in August 2018. Its mission is to study the sun's powerful corona and solar wind. Solar wind is created by a continuous flow of charged particles, called plasma, into space from the corona. NASA于2018年8月发射了帕克太阳探测器，其任务是研究太阳强大的日冕和太阳风。太阳风是由带电粒子（称为等离子体）从日冕持续流入太空而产生的。 In 2021, NASA announced the orbiter had passed into the solar atmosphere for the first time. Researchers said at the time, the spacecraft had successfully “touched” the sun. Parker was believed to be about 13 million kilometers from the center of the sun when it crossed over into the sun's outer atmosphere. 2021年，美国宇航局宣布轨道飞行器首次进入太阳大气层。研究人员当时表示，飞船已经成功“接触”太阳。当帕克进入太阳外层大气层时，据信距离太阳中心约 1300 万公里。In a statement, NASA's Associate Administrator Nicky Fox praised the spacecraft's latest pass-by of the sun. “Flying this close to the sun is a historic moment in humanity's first mission to a star,” she said. Fox leads the agency's Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington, D.C. 美国宇航局副局长尼基·福克斯在一份声明中赞扬了航天器最近一次经过太阳。“飞得如此接近太阳是人类首次恒星任务的历史性时刻，”她说。福克斯领导位于华盛顿特区的美国宇航局总部的科学任务理事会。 The Parker Solar Probe is believed to have traveled at speeds up to 692,000 kilometers per hour during the mission. NASA said this was “faster than any human-made object has ever moved.” 据信帕克太阳探测器在任务期间以高达每小时 692,000 公里的速度行驶。美国宇航局表示，这“比任何人造物体移动的速度都要快”。 Fox said she hopes data collected by the spacecraft can help scientists better understand how the sun behaves and influences other elements in our solar system and beyond. “By studying the sun up-close, we can better understand its impacts throughout our solar system, including on the technology we use daily on Earth and in space.” 福克斯表示，她希望航天器收集的数据能够帮助科学家更好地了解太阳的行为以及对太阳系及其他地区其他元素的影响。“通过近距离研究太阳，我们可以更好地了解它对整个太阳系的影响，包括对我们日常在地球和太空中使用的技术的影响。”
Herb Baker, NASA veteran and author of From Apollo to Artemis: Stories From My 50 Years With NASA, takes us back to a time where growing up near NASA meant working near the “Manned Spacecraft Center,” and running films to the TV station for Apollo missions. Herb took what started as a “fun job” into an unforgettable 42-year career working on the Shuttle, Space Station, and Orion programs. Herb grew up surrounded by astronauts' families, watched history happen right in his backyard, and even got to see his mom play a key role in saving Skylab—a story that will absolutely make you smile. Herb's adventures working for NASA are pretty incredible—like riding in a helicopter flown by a Vietnam vet to deliver news footage, running around Mission Control like he owned the place, and learning that astronauts' biggest fear isn't danger... it's letting their teammates down. You'll hear just how much NASA's mission and people have meant to him. Herb's stories bring NASA's history to life in a way that feels personal, real, and so inspiring. If you've ever looked up at the stars and dreamed big, this one's for you. Guest Bio: Herb Baker retired from NASA in 2017 after 42 years of service. He spent most of his career at the Johnson Space Center (JSC), supporting the Space Shuttle, Space Station, and Orion Programs. Herb also worked at the Kennedy Space Center and NASA Headquarters. His final position was Manager of the Operations Support Office at JSC, where he oversaw support for Mission Control, astronaut operations, and NASA's aircraft operations. Today, Herb serves as an Officer on the Board of Directors for the NASA Alumni League-JSC and dedicates his time to promoting STEM education through organizations like the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation and Space Center Houston. He is a frequent speaker on human spaceflight and the author of From Apollo to Artemis: Stories From My 50 Years With NASA. Connect with Herb: Want a signed copy of From Apollo to Artemis?

Webb is a mission led by NASA in partnership with ESA (European Space Agency) and CSA (Canadian Space Agency).“NASA's James Webb Space Telescope is the perfect intersection of science, engineering, and art as it reveals the greatest secrets of our cosmos through the beautiful images it captures,” said Nicola Fox, associate administrator, Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington. “With these stamps, people across the country can have their own snapshot of Webb's captivating images – and the incredible science they represent – at their fingertips, and know that they, too, are part of this ground-breaking new era in astronomy.”Orange mountain-like structures against a blue background form the Cosmic CliffsThe U.S. Postal Service issued a Priority Mail Express stamp Jan. 22, 2024, highlighting an image of the Carina Nebula from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope. Greg Breeding, an art director for the U.S. Postal Service, designed the stamp with an image provided by NASA, ESA, CSA, and the Space Telescope Science Institute.US Postal ServiceThe first of the new stamps, a Priority Mail Express stamp, features Webb's NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) image of the “Cosmic Cliffs” in the Carina Nebula, located roughly 7,600 light-years away. The image shows emerging stellar nurseries and individual stars that were previously hidden from sight. This scene was one of the first full-color images revealed from Webb in July 2022, demonstrating the telescope's ability to peer through cosmic dust and shed new light on how stars form.The other stamp, a Priority Mail stamp, features an image of the Pillars of Creation captured by Webb's MIRI (Mid-Infrared Instrument). Webb's look at this familiar landscape, which was first made famous by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, shows pillars flush with gas and dust, enshrouding stars that are slowly forming over many millennia. The Pillars of Creation is set within the vast Eagle Nebula, which lies 6,500 light-years away.These new stamps join a Forever stamp issued by the U.S. Postal Service in 2022, featuring an artist's digital illustration of Webb against a background of stars.The U.S. Postal Service stamps honor Webb's achievements as it continues its mission to explore the unknown in our universe and study every phase in cosmic history. Webb has already pulled back the curtain on some of the farthest galaxies, stars, and black holes ever observed; solved a longstanding mystery about the early universe; given us a more detailed look at the atmospheres of planets outside our solar system than ever before; and offered new views and insights into our own cosmic backyard.

NASA's Chief Scientist Dr. Jim Green joins Tim to talk about big plans for the red planet, Mars. Jim has had a long and distinguished career on some of the agency's major research projects and missions that have explored the rest of our solar system, from Mars to Pluto. In this episode, Jim gets into detail on what we have learned, can learn and will learn from Earth's next door neighbor. He uncovers some of the secrets of Mars. This episode was originally released on September 27, 2021. https://traffic.libsyn.com/forcedn/shapingopinion/Encore_-_Life_on_Mars.mp3 Next to the Moon and the Sun, the most captivating celestial bodies in our night sky for mankind over thousands and thousands of years has been Mars. The red planet. The fourth rock from the sun. So, it made sense when we started to make plans for space travel, Mars would figure prominently into those plans. As far back as the inception of both the Soviet and American space programs in the late 1950s and early 1960s, space scientist started making plans to explore Mars. By July 4, 1997, NASA was able to land a spacecraft on Mars. The Mars Pathfinder was launched on December 4th 1996. Six months later, it landed on Mars. The unit featured the first-ever robotic rover that sent an unprecedented amount of data on the planet back to scientists at NASA. After that, there were other missions, which included Mars orbiters, landers, and excavators. And the United States hasn't been the only country working to explore the planet. The Soviet Union, then Russia, then China, then India, and even the United Arab Emirates have launched missions to Mars. Each time, we learn something new and something significant about Mars. But in the end, there is one question that continues to drive mankind's quest to visit Mars. Is there life on that planet, and if so, what does it look like? Jim Green has worked to find the answers to this and many other questions throughout his career as a scientist at NASA. Links NASA's Mars Exploration Program James L.

How is a research program chosen for funding by NASA? As various scientific field campaigns are implemented, some of the campaigns reach the scientific research community and program scientists like Ken Jucks, Program Scientist at NASA Headquarters in Washington, D.C. Programs selected through peer-review for funding by NASA focus on answering science questions that are important to society, and that include the development of a solid, scientific approach toward answering these questions. The role of a NASA Program Scientist is to discover appropriate field campaigns from the research community that are happening during a time when NASA can organize funding to support the campaigns. NASA is divided into a number of different Mission Directorates. The DCOTSS Campaign was funded as part of the Science Directorate (earth science division) to provide an opportunity that might enhance the capability of scientists to better understand the current state of the Earth system and to enable continual improvement in the prediction of future changes.

We talked about how he started working at NASA, the amazing work he is doing now in setting the foundation for a successful return to the moon, and what the day to day is like at NASA. Here's a hint, it is very similar to other working environments - it just includes astronauts!
Often, when we fall, it helps to simply look up and find hope in what's above us. Hakeem Oluseyi is professor of physics and space sciences at the Florida Institute of Technology and has served at Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington, D.C. He joins host Krys Boyd to talk about his early life, when he struggled with inequality, poverty and addiction, and how he found his way out by studying the stars. His book, co-authored with Joshua Horwitz, is “A Quantum Life: My Unlikely Journey from the Street to the Stars.” This episode originally aired July 1, 2021.

*) Russian forces advance on Kiev as city becomes 'fortress' Russian troops have edged closer to Kiev, as officials said the Ukrainian capital was being transformed into a "fortress". Hundreds of thousands of civilians remain holed up in Ukrainian cities under a Russian bombing campaign after talks between Moscow and Kiev's top diplomats ended without any progress. The Ukrainian military in a statement warned "the enemy is trying to eliminate the defences of the Ukrainian forces around" regions to the west and northwest of the capital "to block Kiev." *) China says Ukraine situation 'disconcerting', calls for truce China's premier has called the situation in Ukraine "grave" and "disconcerting" and offered Beijing's help in playing a "positive role" for peace while refusing to criticise Russia. Li Keqiang told reporters at an annual news conference that "we support and encourage all efforts that are conducive to a peaceful settlement of the crisis." "The pressing task now is to prevent tension from escalating or even getting out of control," Li said, adding it is important to support Russia and Ukraine in ceasefire talks. *) Türkiye: Comprehensive peace treaty between Russia, Ukraine on table Turkiye's foreign minister has said signing a "comprehensive peace treaty" is on the agenda that Russia and Ukraine are discussing. "There are a lot of topics both countries are discussing, including neutrality, and the signing of a comprehensive peace treaty is also on the table,” Mevlut Cavusoglu said. He was speaking after a meeting with his Russian and Ukrainian counterparts in Antalya. It was the first time that Moscow and Kiev met at the ministerial level since Russia attacked its neighbour two weeks ago. *) Fears of violence in Libya as pro-Bashagha militia gathers near Tripoli The UN has warned against "provocation" in Libya that could lead to clashes, citing reports of armed elements mobilising around the capital Tripoli. Video footage and pictures posted online purportedly showed convoys of militiamen loyal to Fathi Bashagha massing east of the Libyan capital. Bashagha, who was named as Libya's prime minister by the eastern Tobruk parliament, has yet to arrive in the capital but has insisted he will govern the country "by force of the law" from Tripoli. And finally … *) NASA opens sample taken from the Moon 50 years on The Apollo missions to the Moon brought a total of 2,196 rock samples to Earth. But NASA has only just started opening one of the last ones, collected 50 years ago. For all that time, some tubes were kept sealed so that they could be studied years later, with the help of the latest technical breakthroughs. Lori Glaze, director of the Planetary Science Division at NASA Headquarters, said NASA knew "science and technology would evolve and allow scientists to study the material in new ways to address new questions in the future".
