Translating NASA Data Into Sound
There’s a new, immersive way to explore NASA’s data of our Universe. NASA has taken observational data from telescopes like NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, Hubble Space Telescope, James Webb Space Telescope and others, and translated it into corresponding frequencies that can be heard by the human ear.  A team of scientists, musicians, and a member of the blind and visually impaired community worked to adapt the NASA data. The audio tracks support blind and low-vision listeners first, but are designed to be captivating to anyone who tunes in.

James Webb Space Telescope Sonifications
This landscape of “mountains” and “valleys” speckled with glittering stars is actually the edge of a nearby, young, star-forming region called NGC 3324 in the Carina Nebula. Captured in infrared light by NASA’s new James Webb Space Telescope, this image reveals for the first time previously invisible areas of star birth.NASA, ESA, CSA, and STScI
Explore infrared images and data from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope through sound. Listeners can enter the soundscape of the Cosmic Cliffs in the Carina Nebula, explore the tones of the Southern Ring Nebula, and hear data from the transmission spectrum of an exoplanet.

Discovery Alert: Earth-sized Planet Has a 'Lava Hemisphere' – Exoplanet Exploration: Planets Beyond our Solar System
Follow-up study could confirm the results of this study and potentially reveal more information about the planet's "dark side," and the status of its (possible) atmosphere. As this study states, "Young terrestrial worlds are critical test beds to constrain prevailing theories of planetary formation and evolution."
The Discoverers: This discovery was described in a new study, accepted for publication in the Astronomical Journal, titled "TESS Hunt for Young and Maturing Exoplanets (THYME) XI: An Earth-sized Planet Orbiting a Nearby, Solar-like Host in the 400 Myr Ursa Major Moving Group." The study, led by co-authors Benjamin Capistrant and Melinda Soares-Furtado, will be discussed in a Jan. 10 presentation at the 2024 American Astronomical Society Meeting.
This study was conducted as part of the TESS Hunt for Young and Maturing Exoplanets, which is a project focused on searching for young exoplanets that are in moving groups, stellar associations, or open clusters.

Strange New Worlds
Stars in an Exoplanet World - NASA Science
Indirect observations are possible because the gravitational field of a black hole is so powerful that any nearby material – often the outer layers of a companion star – is caught up and dragged in. As matter spirals into a black hole, it forms a disk, called an accretion disk, that is heated to enormous temperatures, emitting copious quantities of X-rays and gamma-rays that indicate the presence of the underlying hidden companion.Black holes that are quiet and not actively "feeding" on accretion disks can also be detected indirectly by observing the motions of nearby stars. For example, astronomers observe the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way by watching as nearby stars whip around at astounding speeds only possible under the influence of an incredibly massive, but invisible object.From the remains, new stars and planets ariseThe dust and debris left behind by novae and supernovae, as well as by red giants puffing off their outer layers, eventually blend with the surrounding interstellar gas and dust, forming new nebulae. The products created in the ends of the lives of stars enrich galaxies with heavy elements and chemical compounds. Eventually, those materials are recycled, providing the building blocks for new generations of stars and planetary systems.Next: What is the universe?

Prague at Night
Several of these bridges are visible as narrow strips of bright artificial lights in the full-resolution version of the photo.
Old Town, the city’s most historic district, is located on the eastern bank of the Vltava River in the center of Prague. This is the largest zone of orange-hued street lights where the Charles Bridge, astronomical clock tower, and numerous centuries-old buildings are located. Charles University is also located within Old Town, and at nearly 700 years old it is the oldest university in the Czech Republic. Due to its extensive architectural and cultural history, Old Town was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1992.
Across the river from Old Town, historic Petřín Hill is visible as a large dark spot. The hill is one of the highest points in the city and provides a great view of Prague Castle, located just north of the hill. Stromovka park, the largest park in Prague, is recognizable as a large unilluminated area north of Petřín hill. The greenspace is a former royal hunting ground located within a bend of the Vltava River and spans 100 hectares (250 acres).
Astronaut photograph ISS066-E-187571 was acquired on March 21, 2022, with a Nikon D5 digital camera using a focal length of 400 millimeters. It is provided by the ISS Crew Earth Observations Facility and the Earth Science and Remote Sensing Unit, Johnson Space Center. The image was taken by members of the Expedition 66 crew. The image has been cropped and enhanced to improve contrast, and lens artifacts have been removed. The International Space Station Program supports the laboratory as part of the ISS National Lab to help astronauts take pictures of Earth that will be of the greatest value to scientists and the public, and to make those images freely available on the Internet. Additional images taken by astronauts and cosmonauts can be viewed at the NASA/JSC Gateway to Astronaut Photography of Earth. Caption by Cadan Cummings, Jacobs, JETS Contract at NASA-JSC.

View a Launch from NASA Wallops Visitor Center - NASA
Plan to arrive early. Expect to encounter increased traffic around Wallops and Chincoteague, especially for larger rocket launches and during weekend or holiday dates. There are limited roadways to get to the area and they can become congested before and immediately after a launch. Traffic backups can occur for miles. The Visitor Center parking lot typically fills within one hour after opening for a launch and can take up to 1-2 hours to empty after launch. Be sure your vehicle is fueled/ charged enough to wait for traffic to clear.
Bring or wear your favorite insect repellent! Biting insects abound in the natural areas around Wallops, be prepared with insect repellent and appropriate clothing to protect yourself from bites. This is especially important for summer launches. 

Visitors are prohibited from:

Bringing pets. No pets are permitted at the Visitor Center and Launch Viewing Area (including in vehicles) except for service animals. 
Bringing Coolers and large bags. Coolers and oversized bags cannot be used on the Visitor Center grounds during launches and large events.

Visitors may bring coolers and larger bags but those items MUST remain in vehicles parked on the Visitor Center grounds. 
A standard school backpack or smaller is permitted to be used inside the Visitor Center and Launch Viewing Area.
All belongings are subject to a security check upon entering the Visitor Center grounds.

Arriving in vehicles that do not fit in a standard parking spot. Oversized vehicles, such as RVs, trailers, popup campers, buses, and oversized vans are not allowed to park at the Visitor Center on launch days due to security protocol.
Placing stakes into the ground or using tents. Tents and stakes may not be used on the Visitor Center grounds at any time.
Parking along Route 175 prior to the gates opening or during launch viewing events. Vehicles and pedestrians are not allowed to park or stand in front of the closed gates prior to opening or during the launch viewing event. Law enforcement officials will ask anyone doing so to leave.

El Experimento Contra Incendios en Naves Espaciales IV (Saffire-IV, por sus siglas en inglés) examinó el desarrollo del fuego con diferentes materiales y condiciones, y mostró que una técnica llamada pirometría del color puede determinar la temperatura de una llama que se propaga. Este hallazgo ayuda a validar los modelos numéricos acerca de las propiedades de las llamas en microgravedad y proporciona información sobre la seguridad contra incendios en misiones futuras.
El salto de robot

Un robot Astrobee realiza una maniobra de autolanzamiento en la estación espacial.
NASA

La campaña de experimentos Astrobatics lleva a cabo a pruebas sobre el movimiento robótico mediante maniobras de salto o autolanzamiento de los robots Astrobee en la estación. En condiciones de baja gravedad, los robots podrían desplazarse más rápido, usar menos combustible y cubrir terrenos que de otro modo serían intransitables con estas maniobras, ampliando sus capacidades orbitales y planetarias. Los resultados verificaron la viabilidad de este método de locomoción y demostraron que proporciona un mayor rango de distancia. Este trabajo es un avance hacia la obtención de ayudantes robóticos autónomos en el espacio y en otros cuerpos celestes, lo que podría reducir la necesidad de exponer a los astronautas a entornos de riesgo.
