Inspired by the Renaissance vision of Leonardo da Vinci, NASA
Established in 1958, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is an independent agency of the United States Federal Government that succeeded the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA). It is responsible for the civilian space program, as well as aeronautics and aerospace research. Its vision is “To discover and expand knowledge for the benefit of humanity.” Its core values are “safety, integrity, teamwork, excellence, and inclusion.” NASA conducts research, develops technology and launches missions to explore and study Earth, the solar system, and the universe beyond. It also works to advance the state of knowledge in a wide range of scientific fields, including Earth and space science, planetary science, astrophysics, and heliophysics, and it collaborates with private companies and international partners to achieve its goals.
The lab-created compounds — never seen before — might exist naturally on icy moons in the outer solar system.
This month’s featured image is a small asteroid burning up in Earth’s atmosphere, captured by a photographer in the right place at the right time.
On March 1 and 2, Jupiter and Venus will appear side by side in the night sky in an event called a conjunction, which is visible without a telescope or binoculars.
“This means that we could change an asteroid’s path with less warning time,” one scientist said of the DART test’s successful result.

NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter photographed China’s Zhurong rover in the same location for five months, indicating the rover has not yet awoken from hibernation.
