In anticipation of today's solar eclipse, NASA is embracing open science principles to maximize scientific discovery, collaboration, and public involvement. This is the unique opportunity that eclipses provide for studying Earth's atmosphere and solar phenomena to drive future research. This ensures that data collected during the eclipse is accessible to researchers, educators, students, and enthusiasts worldwide. Through publicly available datasets and dedicated eclipse websites, NASA facilitates interdisciplinary research and broadens the understanding of solar phenomena. Citizen science projects, such as the Citizen CATE Experiment and SunSketcher, enable amateur astronomers and enthusiasts to contribute to data collection and scientific discovery. NASA's Transform to Open Science (TOPS) team will conduct educational activities in Uvalde, Texas, to raise awareness about open science principles and data-driven eclipse research. #eclipsedata

The Future of Bioinformatics Right Nasa an Excellent idea Sagar Sir Bioinformatics +Space Technology =Astrobiology Immunological Detection of Conserved Peptides #Yes sir,Bioinformatics will be the future of Space Technology #Nothing is impossible Space Biology, A New Area of Research Space biology is the study of how the space environment affects life. It involves research into the effects of spaceflight on organisms, such as: ionizing radiation, microgravity, isolation, altered atmosphere, and hypergravity (during launch and propulsion phases).

SwRI examines substorm in Earth's magnetotail with MMS data, Los Angeles CA (SPX) May 15, 2024 Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) is analyzing an unusual event in Earth's magnetotail, the part of the magnetosphere trailing away from the Sun. Using data from NASA's Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission, SwRI scientists are studying substorms, disturbances in the magnetotail that release energy and can cause aurorae. Since their launch in 2015, the MMS spacecraft have been examinin, : Los Angeles CA (SPX)

New Post: From Psychology to Space: Alexandra Whitmire’s Journey and Impact in NASA’s Human Research Program - https://lnkd.in/eamtkK_j navigating the depths of the human mind to exploring the vastness of space, Dr. Alexandra (Sandra) Whitmire helps lead research on the effects of prolonged isolation and confinement as NASA prepares to voyage to the Moon and eventually Mars.  Whitmire is the lead scientist for the Human Factors and Behavioral Performance element (HFBP) within NASA’s Human Research Program, or HRP. HFBP selects, supports, and helps design studies for Johnson Space Center in Houston’s HERA (Human Exploration Research Analog), which conducts missions simulating isolation and confinement to further understand psychological effects on humans.   These studies evaluate how crews work as […]

I have been proponent of simple Magnetron principle as a comprehensive energy source for many an application, and I do see startups forming such as Avalanche energy and an aviation company out of Florida trying out fusion plasma as the source for Mac6 speed. There have been many speculations about Em drive which is of similar family and this time it seems there is good level of conformity that it can help defy gravity for space exploration beyond normal earthly air travel. Are we nearing the comprehension and been gently nudged into becoming Type I civilization? Possibilities are endless and can keep humanity thrive forever within the cosmos. Dr. Charles Buhler and his team at Exodus Propulsion Technologies believe they may have stumbled upon their own propellant-less propulsion drive. The new device is said to defy the current laws of physics and can produce enough thrust to bypass Earth’s gravity. Buhler, who's worked on several revered programs, including NASA’s Space Shuttle, the Hubble Telescope, and the International Space Station (ISS), is under the impression that he and his colleagues have discovered a new fundamental force. Speaking with The Debrief, Buhler said, "The most important message to convey to the public is that a major discovery occurred.” He continued, "This discovery of a New Force is fundamental in that electric fields alone can generate a sustainable force onto an object and allow center-of-mass translation of said object without expelling mass." In the beginning, their device had a minuscule amount of thrust. However, they began to experience minor increases with each new iteration. In 2023, they had their breakthrough when their device, powered by the new force, generated enough thrust to overcome our planet's gravity. "Essentially, what we've discovered is that systems that contain an asymmetry in either electrostatic pressure or some kind of electrostatic divergent field can give a system of a center of mass a non-zero force component," explained Buhler.  "So, what that basically means is that there's some underlying physics that can essentially place force on an object should those two constraints be met,” he wrote. Speaking on defying whether the team's device defies the laws of physics, Buhler said, “There are rules that include conservation of energy, but if done correctly, one can generate forces unlike anything humankind has done before.” He continued, “It will be this force that we will use to propel objects for the next 1,000 years until the next thing comes.”   #climatechange #typeIcivilization #spacetravel

Finally, I sat down this weekend and completed NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration TOPS MOOC on Open Science 101 and I got my Certification. I tried fast track for 4 modules and general track for 5th module on Open Results. Tremendous amount of thought put in this MOOC and I really encourage everyone to take this course. Good thing about it is, it is free with wealth of information and you can do it when you have time. I really would like to acknowledge Chelle Gentemann, Kevin M. and Steve Crawford for their leadership in this effort. #NASA #NASATOPS #NOAA #openscience Here is my credible certificate link:
