9 Things to Know About the NASA BFGoodrich Tires Partnership
BFGoodrich Tires is now a National Partner of NASA — but not the space agency. Here are 9 things worth understanding about what this motorsport partnership actually is and who it benefits.
Heat Waves Cause 37% More Wildfire Burn Area, New Study Finds
New research reveals heat waves account for 42% of all wildfire-burned area in the western U.S. despite occurring on only 12–15% of warm-season days—and that rising heat wave frequency since 2001 is responsible for 37% more burned forest than would otherwise exist.
NASA Aeolus Mars Mission 2028: Relativity Space to Launch Wind-Mapping Probe
NASA and Relativity Space have signed a Space Act Agreement to send the Aeolus atmospheric science payload to Mars orbit by 2028, where it will make the first direct measurements of Martian wind velocities from space. Relativity Space will supply the spacecraft, launch vehicle, and mission operations using its 3D-printed Terran R rocket.
Lucy Mission Finds Peanut Asteroid Donaldjohanson Wobbling Unpredictably
When NASA's Lucy spacecraft flew past peanut-shaped asteroid Donaldjohanson in 2025, it detected a complex, multi-axis wobble that existing rotational models failed to predict — forcing scientists to reconsider how contact binary asteroids behave in space.
Monitor Rivers from Space: The Satellite Plan to Track Every River on Earth
With ground gauges covering only a fraction of Earth's rivers, scientists are developing satellite systems to monitor every significant river from orbit — offering the first realistic tool for global freshwater surveillance.
10 Ways Telescope Mirror Stability Makes or Breaks Exoplanet Detection
Detecting an exoplanet requires mirror stability measured in trillionths of a meter. These 9 findings reveal why even the tiniest wobble or drift can silently kill a planet's signal before a single useful photon is recorded.Load More
