We are excited to highlight that BAERI’s Ariel Deutsch was asked to join the Artemis II Science Team. As the Orion, NASA’s newest spacecraft, circles the Moon carrying astronauts for the first time, Ariel will be on the ground supporting…
Scientists have discovered the long-predicted slip-running reconnection regime, manifesting as fast motion of flare kernels along ribbons, with speeds up to 2,600 km/s. This process was theoretically predicted in two studies, published in 2005 and 2006. Its discovery has therefore…
BAERI's Ariel Deutsch has been awarded funding through NASA’s ROSES Program. Deutsch’s proposal, “The influence of target slope on small crater morphometry: New insights into polar volatiles and mass transport on the Moon,” is part of the Lunar Data Analysis…
In more James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) excitement, a team of researchers, including co-author BAERI’s Taylor Bell, has revealed new details about the exoplanet WASP-107b, also known as the “popcorn planet” due to its puffy appearance. The research uncovered differences…
We are very excited about the news that the NASA Academic Mission Services 2 (NAMS-2) contract has been awarded to a team of organizations led by Crown Consulting, Inc. as prime contractor. BAERI is a part of “Team Crown,” which…
Young scientists dive deep in the waters off Puerto Rico for OCEANOS (Ocean Community Engagement and Awareness using NASA Earth Observations and Science for Hispanic/Latino students). BAERI’s Milan Loiacono, science communications specialist at Ames Research Center, sheds light on the…
Students from the inaugural cohorts of the FireSage and Fire & Air internship programs made summer presentations, marking the successful start of these new educational collaborations between NASA Ames and San Jose State University (FireSage) and CSUStan (Fire & Air).…
