NASA Wants Technology to Allow Us to Breathe on Mars
NASA is providing seed money to researchers to develop a number of innovative technologies. One is portable oxygen generation to allow future Mars explorers to breathe without carrying a bulky air supply.
It is one of 17 NASA Space Technology Mission Directorate projects being funded to develop new breakthroughs for both humans and robots.
Mobile Parklet Turns One Parking Spot Into Space for 8 Bikes
Famous Dutch bicycle brand, Union, has launched a pop-up installation to replace an ordinary car parking spot in Amsterdam’s poshest shopping street with parking space for eight bicycles.
Earth Looks Like A Living Creature In This Amazing NASA Video
NASA’s Scientific Visualization Studio (SVS) has published a remarkable video that depicts Earth in ways you’ve probably never seen before.
The video is a time-lapse model of a category-4 typhoon that formed off the coast of China in 2005. Throughout the visualization, the seven-day period is replayed multiple times.
NASA Lunar Gateway: Here’s what you need to know about the Moon’s first space station
This is huge.
The project will be the first time humans have tried to situate a permanent orbital space station around the Moon.
Here’s everything you need to know about the Lunar Gateway.
What is the Lunar Gateway?
The Lunar Gateway is a crewed space station designed to orbit the Moon. In this sense, it is similar to the International Space Station, which currently orbits the Earth.
Webb telescope shares new image after reaching optics milestone
The James Webb Space Telescope has taken one giant step closer in its mission to unlock the mysteries of the universe.
The world’s premier space observatory has successfully completed a number of steps crucial for aligning its 18 gold mirror segments. Having checked this milestone off of Webb’s list, the telescope team expects that the observatory may even exceed the goals it was meant to achieve.
Webb will be able to peer inside the atmospheres of exoplanets and observe some of the first galaxies created after the universe began by observing them through infrared light, which is invisible to the human eye.
Virtual Planetarium Show: The James Webb Telescope
The James Webb Space Telescope’s revolutionary technology will study every phase of cosmic history—from within our solar system to the most distant observable galaxies in the early universe. We’ll present an overview of the telescope, its mission and the some of the science it hopes to reveal. Tune in via our Facebook page for this live virtual presentation presented by Jason T. Archer.

NASA Rover Detects Organic Molecules on the Surface of Mars
While it’s an exciting discovery, it falls short of demonstrating that carbon-based lifeforms once lived on the surface of the Red Planet. It is, however, a step in that direction.
“This experiment was definitely successful,” Maëva Millan, postdoctoral fellow at NASA’s Goddard Spaceflight Center and lead author of a new study published on Monday in the journal Nature Astronomy, told Inverse.
“While we haven’t found what we were looking for, biosignatures, we showed that this technique is really promising,” she added.
