 Featured NASA’s Fermi Mission Sees No Gamma Rays from Nearby Supernova5 min readNASA’s Fermi Mission Sees No Gamma Rays from Nearby Supernovaarticle3 days ago This 2024 Earth Day poster is an ocean themed vertical 15x30 illustration created from NASA satellite cloud imagery overlaid on ocean data. The white cloud imagery wraps around shapes, defining three whales and a school of fish. Swirly cloud patterns, called Von Kármán Vortices, create the feeling of movement in the composition. The focal point is a cyclone in the upper third of the poster. At the center flies the recently launched PACE satellite. The ocean imagery – composed of blues, aquas, and greens – is filled with subtle color changes and undulating patterns created by churning sediment, organic matter and phytoplankton.4 min readThe Ocean Touches Everything: Celebrate Earth Day with NASAarticle7 days ago The April 8 Total Solar Eclipse: Through the Eyes of NASA7 min readThe April 8 Total Solar Eclipse: Through the Eyes of NASAarticle7 days ago

 NASA’s Aeronautics Innovation Challenges are your entry points to the exciting, fast-moving aviation world of today. And they’re valuable ways for us to get inputs and ideas that may never have occurred to us. Thank you for joining our journey! Open Challenges
 NASA's Gateways to Blue Skies (2024)
 Advancing Aviation for Natural Disasters
 As climate change increasingly influences the frequency and severity of natural disasters on a global scale, opportunities to contribute at the intersection of technological advancement, aviation, and natural disasters grow in both number and importance. The 2024 Gateways to Blue Skies Competition is asking teams to conceptualize, in terms of feasibility and viability, aviation-related system(s) that can be applied by 2035 to one phase of management of a chosen type of natural disaster. Notice of Intent Submission Deadline: October 16, 2023. Learn More about NASA's Gateways to Blue Skies (2024)
