NASA's Hubble Shows Jupiter's great red spot is smaller than ever measured - 15 May 2014
Scientists announced Thursday (15 May) Jupiter's trademark Great Red Spot - a swirling anti-cyclonic storm larger than Earth - has shrunk to its smallest size ever measured.
According to Amy Simon of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, recent NASA Hubble Space Telescope observations confirm the Great Red Spot now is approximately 10,250 miles across. Astronomers have followed this downsizing since the 1930s.
Historic observations as far back as the late 1800s gauged the storm to be as large as 25,500 miles on its long axis. NASA Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 flybys of Jupiter in 1979 measured it to be 14,500 miles across. In 1995, a Hubble photo showed the long axis of the spot at an estimated 13,020 miles across. And in a 2009 photo, it was measured at 11,130 miles across.
Beginning in 2012, amateur observations revealed a noticeable increase in the rate at which the spot is shrinking - by 580 miles per year - changing its shape from an oval to a circle.

NASA's Arctic expedition starts with sea ice surveys, Greenland - 14 Mar 2014
NASA's IceBridge team captured this spectacular image of the moon shining over the horizon during their latest survey flight over the Arctic. Operation IceBridge carried into 2014 with two surveys of sea ice north of Greenland. The surveys aim to continue NASA's mission of collecting data of changing sea ice in the Arctic. The P-3 research aircraft left NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Vancouver on March 10. The two survey flights on March 12 and 13 allowed the team to collect ice thickness and eleviation data while examining polar ice. Shortly after boarding Nasa-P-3 the crew witnessed incredible landscapes including the moon beaming over the horizon and a beautiful sunset.

A frog has (accidentally) been launched in to space.
Its unfortunate journey was captured by one of NASA's cameras set up for the launch of the LADEE (Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer) spacecraft at the Wallops/Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport in Virginia last Friday (6 September).
The unlucky amphibian was snapped silhouetted against a cloud of smoke as the LADEE lifted off from the Wallops facility.
Wallops spokesperson Jeremy Eggers confirmed to Universe Today the picture was legitimate and not altered in any way.
NASA's Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer (LADEE) is now on its way to the moon, where it will gather information about the lunar atmosphere for the US space agency.

(Crop) Protostar IRAS 20324 4057 resembles a Cosmic Caterpillar
NASA's Hubble Sees a Cosmic Caterpillar - 29 Aug 2013
Hubble has seen what appears to be a very hungry caterpillar.
In fact, this stunning image is of a light-year-long knot of caterpillar-shaped interstellar gas and dust called IRAS 20324 4057.
Harsh winds from extremely bright stars are blasting ultraviolet radiation at this "wanna-be" star - or protostar - and sculpting the gas and dust into its long shape. The protostar is in a very early evolutionary stage.
The culprits are 65 of the hottest, brightest known stars, classified as O-type stars, located 15 light-years away from the knot, towards the right edge of the image. These stars, along with 500 less bright, but still highly luminous B-type stars make up what is called the Cygnus OB2 association. Collectively, the association is thought to have a mass more than 30,000 times that of our sun.
The image is a composite of Hubble data and ground-based hydrogen data from the Isaac Newton Telescope. The object lies 4,500 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus.

Protostar IRAS 20324 4057 resembles a Cosmic Caterpillar
NASA's Hubble Sees a Cosmic Caterpillar - 29 Aug 2013
Hubble has seen what appears to be a very hungry caterpillar.
In fact, this stunning image is of a light-year-long knot of caterpillar-shaped interstellar gas and dust called IRAS 20324 4057.

Curiosity rover's self portrait at 'John Klein' drilling site. This rectangular version of a self-portrait of NASA's Mars rover Curiosity combines dozens of exposures taken by the rover's Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI) during the 177th Martian day, or sol, of Curiosity's work on Mars (Feb. 3, 2013).
NASA's Curiosity Rover on Mars - 2013
The rover is positioned at a patch of flat outcrop called "John Klein," which was selected as the site for the first rock-drilling activities by Curiosity. The self-portrait was acquired to document the drilling site. The rover's robotic arm is not visible in the mosaic. MAHLI, which took the component images for this mosaic, is mounted on a turret at the end of the arm. Wrist motions and turret rotations on the arm allowed MAHLI to acquire the mosaic's component images. The arm was positioned out of the shot in the images or portions of images used in the mosaic. Malin Space Science Systems, San Diego, developed, built and operates MAHLI. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., manages the Mars Science Laboratory Project and the mission's Curiosity rover for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington. The rover was designed and assembled at JPL, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena.

Curiosity's first sample drilling
NASA's Curiosity Rover on Mars - 2013
At the center of this image from NASA's Curiosity rover is the hole in a rock called "John Klein" where the rover conducted its first sample drilling on Mars. The drilling took place on Feb. 8, 2013, or Sol 182, Curiosity's 182nd Martian day of operations. Several preparatory activities with the drill preceded this operation, including a test that produced the shallower hole on the right two days earlier, but the deeper hole resulted from the first use of the drill for rock sample collection. The image was obtained by Curiosity's Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI) on Sol 182. The sample-collection hole is 0.63 inch (1.6 centimeters) in diameter and 2.5 inches (6.4 centimeters) deep. The "mini drill" test hole near it is the same diameter, with a depth of 0.8 inch (2 centimeters).

Preparatory test of drilling on Mars generates rock powder
NASA's Curiosity Rover on Mars - 2013
In an activity called the "mini drill test," NASA's Mars rover Curiosity used its drill to generate this ring of powdered rock for inspection in advance of the rover's first full drilling. Curiosity performed the mini drill test and used its Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI) camera to record this image of the resulting hole and cuttings during the 180th Martian day, or sol, of the rover's work on Mars (Feb. 6, 2013). The hole is 0.63 inch (1.6 centimeters) in diameter and about 0.8 (2 centimeters) deep. The location is on a patch of flat rock called "John Klein." If the cuttings are judged to be suitable for processing by the rover's sample handling mechanisms, the mission's first full drilling is planned for a nearby spot on John Klein. The full drilling will be the first rock drilling on Mars to collect a sample of material for analysis

Close-up after preparatory test of drilling on Mars
NASA's Curiosity Rover on Mars - 2013
After an activity called the "mini drill test" by NASA's Mars rover Curiosity, the rover's Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI) camera recorded this close-up view of the results during the 180th Martian day, or sol, of the rover's work on Mars (Feb. 6, 2013). The test generated a ring of powdered rock for inspection in advance of the rover's first full drilling. The hole is 0.63 inch (1.6 centimeters) in diameter and about 0.8 (2 centimeters) deep. MAHLI took this image from a position 2 inches (5 centimeters) away. The location is on a patch of flat rock called "John Klein." If the cuttings are judged to be suitable for processing by the rover's sample handling mechanisms, the mission's first full drilling is planned for a nearby spot on John Klein. The full drilling will be the first rock drilling on Mars to collect a sample of material for analysis

The bit in the rotary-percussion drill of NASA's Mars rover Curiosity left its mark in a target patch of rock called "John Klein" during a test on the rover's 176th Martian day, or sol (Feb. 2, 2013), in preparation for the first drilling of a rock by the rover
NASA's Curiosity Rover on Mars - 2013
The Sol 176 test, called the "drill on rock checkout," used only the hammering or percussive action of the drill, not rotary action. This image from the Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI) camera on the rover's arm was taken with the camera positioned about 4 inches (10 centimeters) off the ground. It shows an area of John Klein about 3 inches (7.7 centimeters) wide. The length of the gray divot cut by the drill bit is about two-thirds of an inch (1.7 centimeters). Another preparatory test, called "mini drill," will precede the full drilling. The mini drill test will use both the rotary and percussive actions of the drill to generate a ring of rock powder around a hole. This will allow evaluating the appearance of these drill tailings, to see if they are behaving as dry powder suitable for processing by the rover's sample handling mechanisms.

Close-up of brushed area on martian rock target 'Ekwir_1'
NASA's Curiosity Rover on Mars - 2013
This image from the Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI) on NASA's Mars rover Curiosity shows details of rock texture and color in an area where the rover's Dust Removal Tool (DRT) brushed away dust that was on the rock. This rock target, "Ekwir_1" was brushed and this image was recorded on the same Martian day, or sol, Sol 150 of Curiosity's mission on Mars (Jan. 6, 2013.) The image, one of the highest resolution images returned so far by MAHLI, was taken from a distance of about 0.4 inch (1 centimeter) from the rock's surface. Fractures, white veins, pits and tiny dark grains in the rock are visible, as well as remaining clumps and specks of dust. The scale bar at lower left is 2 millimeters (0.08 inches)

First use of Mars rover Curiosity's dust removal tool
NASA's Curiosity Rover on Mars - 2013
This image from the Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI) on NASA's Mars rover Curiosity shows the patch of rock cleaned by the first use of the rover's Dust Removal Tool (DRT).
The tool is a motorized, wire-bristle brush on the turret at the end of the rover's arm. Its first use was on the 150th Martian day, or sol, of the mission (Jan. 6, 2013). MAHLI took this image from a distance of about 10 inches (25 centimeters) after the brushing was completed on this rock target called "Ekwir_1." The patch of the rock from which dust has been brushed away is about 1.85 inches by 2.44 inches (47 millimeters by 62 millimeters). The scale bar at bottom right is 1 centimeter (0.39 inch). Honeybee Robotics, New York, N.Y., built the DRT for Curiosity. Malin Space Science Systems, San Diego, built the MAHLI

The MODIS instrument aboard NASA's Aqua satellite captured this visible image of Tropical Storm Bopha moving through Micronesia in the western North Pacific Ocean on Nov. 28 at 0335 UTC. Notice the large "tail" or band of thunderstorms wrapping into the center from the west and south.
Typhoon Bopha heading toward the Philippines - 02 Dec 2012
Super Typhoon Bopha made landfall in the southern Philippines early Tuesday.
Super Typhoon Bopha has estimated wind speeds around 160 miles per hour with gusts over 195 miles per hour or roughly 170 knots.
The equivalent to a category-five hurricane, the storm came ashore in the southern province of Davao at dawn, uprooting trees and blowing off roofs.
Residents in flood-prone areas were moving into shelters, ABC reported.
On Monday, Philippine President Benigno Aquino warned the public to take storm warnings seriously. "The potential destruction of this typhoon is no joke," Aquino said in a national television and radio address.

High-resolution self-portrait by Curiosity rover arm camera on Sol 84
NASA's Curiosity Rover on Mars - 2012
NASA's Curiosity rover used the Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI) to capture this set of 55 high-resolution images, which were stitched together to create this full-color self-portrait. The mosaic shows the rover at "Rocknest," the spot in Gale Crater where the mission's first scoop sampling took place. Four scoop scars can be seen in the regolith in front of the rover. The base of Gale Crater's 3-mile-high (5-kilometer) sedimentary mountain, Mount Sharp, rises on the right side of the frame. Mountains in the background to the left are the northern wall of Gale Crater. The Martian landscape appears inverted within the round, reflective ChemCam instrument at the top of the rover's mast. Self-portraits like this one document the state of the rover and allow mission engineers to track changes over time, such as dust accumulation and wheel wear. Due to its location on the end of the robotic arm, only MAHLI (among the rover's 17 cameras) is able to image some parts of the craft, including the port-side wheels.
