NASA Tool Gets Ready to Image Faraway Planets - NASA
These features make them easier to detect but also less hospitable to life as we know it.
To look for potentially habitable worlds, scientists need to image planets that are not only billions of times dimmer than their stars, but also orbit them at the right distance for liquid water to exist on the planet’s surface — a precursor for the kind of life found on Earth.
Developing the capabilities to directly image Earth-like planets will require intermediate steps like the Roman Coronagraph. At its maximum capability, it could image an exoplanet similar to Jupiter around a star like our Sun: a large, cool planet just outside the star’s habitable zone.
What NASA learns from the Roman Coronagraph will help blaze a path for future missions designed to directly image Earth-size planets orbiting in the habitable zones of Sun-like stars. The agency’s concept for a future telescope called the Habitable Worlds Observatory aims to image at least 25 planets similar to Earth using an instrument that will build on what the Roman Coronagraph Instrument demonstrates in space.
“The active components, like deformable mirrors, are essential if you want to achieve the goals of a mission like the Habitable Worlds Observatory,” said JPL’s Ilya Poberezhskiy, the project systems engineer for the Roman Coronagraph. “The active nature of the Roman Coronagraph Instrument allows you to take ordinary optics to a different level. It makes the whole system more complex, but we couldn’t do these incredible things without it.”
More About the Mission
The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is managed at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, with participation by JPL and Caltech/IPAC in Southern California, the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, and a science team comprising scientists from various research institutions. The primary industrial partners are BAE Space and Mission Systems in Boulder, Colorado; L3Harris Technologies in Melbourne, Florida; and Teledyne Scientific & Imaging in Thousand Oaks, California.
The Roman Coronagraph Instrument was designed and built at JPL, which manages the instrument for NASA.

History
FINDER, a radar instrument developed at JPL, has been used to find people trapped by natural disasters.The Laboratory has also been active in developing CubeSat technology to reduce mission costs. Its first planetary CubeSats, MarCO 1 and 2, were launched with the InSight mission to Mars and provided data relay services during the probe's landing.

Make a Galaxy Montage | NASA Space Place – NASA Science for Kids
The water will make the colors run together in lovely ways. Let the filters dry.

When the filters are dry, cut them into galaxy shapes. See the galaxy patterns for our "Make a Galactic Mobile" activity for shape ideas. You may want to make the "arms" of spiral galaxies very long. Scientists have discovered the spiral arms often extend much farther than anyone thought. If you make the galaxies different sizes, the smaller ones will seem to be farther away. 

Arrange your galaxies on the sheet of black construction paper and glue them down with the glue stick.

If you like, use the glue stick to add some blue glitter highlights to your galaxies. The blue glitter can be the thousands of new stars being born in the galaxy. 

If you like, glue the extra piece of construction paper on the back to make a two-sided border.

Display your galaxy montage where your friends and family can admire it!

See some images of beautiful, faraway galaxies. Find out what surprising discoveries scientists made about galaxies using the GALEX space telescope.

Watch the Skies -
After the light fades, a ball of ejected nova material is shown in pale orange. A small white spot remains after the fog of material clears, indicating that the white dwarf has survived the explosion.Credit: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center
The star system, normally magnitude +10, which is far too dim to see with the unaided eye, will jump to magnitude +2 during the event. This will be of similar brightness to the North Star, Polaris.
Once its brightness peaks, it should be visible to the unaided eye for several days and just over a week with binoculars before it dims again, possibly for another 80 years.
As we wait for the nova, become familiar with the constellation Corona Borealis, or the Northern Crown — a small, semicircular arc near Bootes and Hercules. This is where the outburst will appear as a “new” bright star.
A conceptual image of how to find Hercules and his mighty globular clusters in the sky created using a planetarium software. Look up after sunset during summer months to find Hercules! Scan between Vega and Arcturus, near the distinct pattern of Corona Borealis. Once you find its stars, use binoculars or a telescope to hunt down the globular clusters M13 and M92. If you enjoy your views of these globular clusters, you’re in luck – look for another great globular, M3, in the nearby constellation of Boötes.Credit: NASA
This recurring nova is only one of five in our galaxy. This happens because T CrB is a binary system with a white dwarf and red giant. The stars are close enough that as the red giant becomes unstable from its increasing temperature and pressure and begins ejecting its outer layers, the white dwarf collects that matter onto its surface. The shallow dense atmosphere of the white dwarf eventually heats enough to cause a runaway thermonuclear reaction – which produces the nova we see from Earth.

Tired travelers | NASA Space Place – NASA Science for Kids
The large circles that travel from east to west are birds taking off as the Sun sets in each area. They appear as circles because the radar can only view birds a certain distance away from the radar station. Credit: Jeff Buler.

Scientists have to use clues to figure out that they are looking at birds and not at weather. One big clue is the blobs all appear right at sunset. Sunset is when most migrating birds take flight.
That’s how scientists find their resting spots—they look for radar blobs that appear at sunset.
The areas where these blobs form are the areas where the birds have been resting during the day. Large groups of birds take to the sky all at once in these areas. That means they easily show up on radar.

Scientists can get a clear picture of different birds’ regular rest stops by looking at lots of radar data. This information can be used to protect different areas that are important for a bird’s migration.
Scientists will soon be combining new NASA radar data with data from other radars. These other radars belong to groups like the National Weather Service. All of these radars will give them a complete picture of bird migration across the United States.
NASA has recently built new radars as part of their weather studies. These radars are located in areas where lots of birds travel. They are also located in places not as well covered by other radars. That means they will be very helpful to bird researchers.
Thanks to NASA and these dedicated scientists, some hard working birds may finally catch a break!

NASA satellites and sensors constantly take the pulse of our planet, measuring how Earth changes by the day, season, year, and decade. Researchers and resource managers analyze those measurements and apply them on local and regional scales to better manage things like our food and water supplies, health, safety, land use, and ecosystems. NASA data is also used by other government agencies to help with responses to natural disasters and emergencies around the country and the world.
