Happy National Twin Day!Â
The majestic spiral galaxy NGC 7331 is almost like a long lost twin to our very own Milky Way. In this close-up, the galaxy’s magnificent spiral arms feature dark, obscuring dust lanes, bright bluish clusters of massive young stars and the telltale reddish glow of active star-forming regions. The yellowish central region harbors populations of older, cooler stars. Like in the Milky Way, a supermassive black hole lies at the galaxy’s core.
Our Hubble Space Telescope took this image while observing a supernova explosion — the fiery death of a massive star — within NGC 7331. Astronomers noted that the supernova, called SN 2014C, experienced a dramatic, hasty transformation that involved a significant upsurge in hydrogen content. This observation provided a rare chance to gain insight into the final stages of massive stars.
NGC 7331 was discovered in 1784 by famed astronomer William Herschel, who discovered the planet Uranus. It was originally classified as a nebula, which is an interstellar cloud of gas and dust, because no one knew that other galaxies existed until the 20th century. It turns out that NGC 7331 and the Milky Way are among billions and billions of galaxies in the universe!

El desafÃo de enviar tripulantes a Marte: La carrera por llegar a Marte ha hecho posible que se desarrollen tecnologÃas que permitan un vuelo confortable para los astronautas. Sin embargo, la NASA afirma que ellos estarÃan expuestos a "radiación cósmica", la cual es un conjunto de ondas electromagnéticas que, al toparse con algún cuerpo, puede aumentarle riesgo de cáncer, alguna enfermedad por radiación, entre otros malestares. Para saber la magnitud de esa radiación, los cientÃficos expusieron a condiciones similares a un grupo de roedores que terminaron con severos problemas neurocognitivos. Según Munjal Acharya (radiólogo oncólogo de la Universidad de California) los astronautas podrÃan sufrir complicaciones que afectarÃan su memoria y aprendizaje, lo que impedirÃa que puedan responder satisfactoriamente a problemas no previstos durante el vuelo. Ante esta situación, la NASA trabaja en posibles soluciones como la implementación de dispositivos que añadan masa para contrarrestar la radiación. Esto serÃa utilizado en un viaje no tripulado donde incluirán muñecos de prueba.

Aterrizaje del Rover Mars 2020 de la NASA con navegación relativa del terreno: Lo que te ofrece la navegación relativa del terreno es la capacidad de evitar peligros que ya conoces como colinas, cráteres, cosas que has visto antes. Con la cámara tomamos imágenes a medida que descendemos y unimos partes de la imagen con las imágenes orbitales que hemos almacenado a bordo. Y si hacemos muchas de estas coincidencias, podemos averiguar dónde estamos en relación con el mapa. Antes habia un 80 a 85% de probabilidad de exito, ahora hay un 99%. #DeimosPerú #NASA #nasajpl #Mars #rovermars #rovermars2020 #PUCP #ingmecanicapucp #mecanicapucp Fuente: NASA /JPL - Caltech /Mars Insight https://www.instagram.com/p/B0j9D09HXF4/?igshid=1a5kq3vuuk7bw
El Sol, es el cuerpo celeste de mayor importancia para el ser humano, las plantas y los animales, al ser el único astro capaz de desprender luz propia en el Sistema Solar, y que resulta indispensable para el mantenimiento de la vida en nuestro planeta Tierra tal y como la conocemos. #DeimosPerú #roverchallenge #PUCP #roverchallenge2020 #marsrover #NASA https://www.instagram.com/p/B2sMdW9BD-q/?igshid=a8w2v3yawut
Have you ever wanted to drive a rover across the surface of the Moon?
This weekend, students from around the world will get their chance to live out the experience on Earth! At the Human Exploration Rover Challenge, managed by NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, high schoolers and college students operate human-powered rovers that they designed and built as they traverse a simulated world, making decisions and facing obstacles that replicate what the next generation of explorers will face in space.
Though the teams that build the rover can be a few people or a few dozen, in the end, two students (one male, one female) will end up navigating their rover through a custom-built course at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center. Each duo will push their rover to the limit, climbing up hills, bumping over rocky and gravelly grounds, and completing mission objectives (like retrieving soil samples and planting their team flag) for extra points – all in less than seven minutes.
2019 will mark the 25th year of Rover Challenge, which started life as the Great Moonbuggy Race on July 16, 1994. Six teams braved the rain and terrain (without a time limit) in the Rocket City that first year – and in the end, the University of New Hampshire emerged victorious, powering through the moon craters, boulder fields and other obstacles in eighteen minutes and fifty-five seconds.
When it came time to present that year’s design awards, though, the honors went to the University of Puerto Rico at Humacao, who have since become the only school to compete in every Great Moonbuggy Race and Rover Challenge hosted by NASA Marshall. The second-place finishers in 1994, the hometown University of Alabama in Huntsville, are the only other school to compete in both the first race and the 25th anniversary race in 2019.
Since that first expedition, the competition has only grown: the race was officially renamed the Human Exploration Rover Challenge for 2014, requiring teams to build even more of their rover from the wheels up, and last year, new challenges and tasks were added to better reflect the experience of completing a NASA mission on another planet. This year, almost 100 teams will be competing in Rover Challenge, hailing from 24 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, and countries from Bolivia to Bangladesh.
Rover Challenge honors the legacy of the NASA Lunar Roving Vehicle, which made its first excursion on the moon in 1971, driven by astronauts David Scott and James Irwin on Apollo 15. Given the competition’s space race inspiration, it’s only appropriate that the 25th year of Rover Challenge is happening in 2019, the 50th anniversary of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin’s historic Apollo 11 moon landing.
Interested in learning more about Rover Challenge? Get the details on the NASA Rover Challenge site – then join us at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center (entrance is free) or watch live on the Rover Challenge Facebook Page starting at 7 AM CT, this Friday, April 12 and Saturday, April 13. Happy roving!
