This year, dozens of BAERI researchers will be involved in a wide range of AGU talks and poster sessions. The American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting, the largest Earth and Space Science meeting in the world, will be held this year…
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…
By Jane Berg No one could be certain that a flare would happen when and where it did. On March 29, 2014, BAERI alum Professor Lucia Kleint was performing observations of the Sun at the Richard B. Dunn Solar Telescope…
Congratulations to BAERI’s Taylor Bell for being named one of NASA Ames Science Directorate’s Stars of the Month for June 2024!
As reported in a recent Science News story, BAERI heliophysicist Navdeep Panesar is working on understanding the mechanisms that lead to pint-size eruptions on the Sun known as “campfires.”
A team of researchers has interpreted data from the James Webb Space Telescope in order to map weather conditions on WASP-43b, an exoplanet 283 light-years away from Earth. BAERI’s Taylor Bell, lead author of a study published in the journal…
