Davide Astuti : Earth's Richat Structure Image Credit: +NASA/GSFC/METI/Japan Space Systems, and U.S./Japan ASTER Science... Earth's Richat Structure Image Credit: +NASA/GSFC/METI/Japan Space Systems, and U.S./Japan ASTER Science Team http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap130519.html What on Earth is that? The Richat Structure in the Sahara Desert of Mauritania is easily visible from space because it is nearly 50 kilometers across. Once thought to be an impact crater, the Richat Structure's flat middle and lack of shock-altered rock indicates otherwise. The possibility that the Richat Structure was formed by a volcanic eruption also seems improbable because of the lack of a dome of igneous or volcanic rock. Rather, the layered sedimentary rock of the Richat structure is now thought by many to have been caused by uplifted rock sculpted by erosion. The above image was captured by the ASTER instruments onboard the orbiting orbiting Terra satellite. Why the Richat Structure is nearly circular remains a mystery. 2 minutes ago - Via Reshared Post - View - cynthia shahan : NASA's Mars Rover Opportunity Breaks Record For Off-Planet Driving By A US Made Vehicle | PlanetSave NASA's relentless solar-powered Mars rover Opportunity has now set a new record — greatest distance traveled by a US made vehicle on another world.

Earth's Major Telescopes Investigate GRB 130427A Illustration Credit: +NASA, DOE, Fermi LAT Collaboration http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap130508.html A tremendous explosion has occurred in the nearby universe and major telescopes across Earth and space are investigating. Dubbed GRB 130427A, the gamma-ray burst was first noted by the Earth-orbiting Swift satellite in high energy X-rays and quickly reported down to Earth. Within three minutes, the half-meter ISON telescope in New Mexico found the blast in visible light, noted its extreme brightness, and relayed more exact coordinates. Within the next few minutes, the bright optical counterpart was being tracked by several quickly re-pointable telescopes including the 2.0-meter P60 telescope in California, the 1.3-meter PAIRITEL telescope in Arizona, and the 2.0-meter Faulkes Telescope North in Hawaii. Within two hours, the 8.2-meter Gemini North telescope in Hawaii noted a redshift of 0.34, placing the explosion about 5 billion light years away -- considered nearby in cosmological terms. Previously recorded images from the RAPTOR full-sky monitors were scanned and a very bright optical counterpart -- magnitude 7.4 -- was found 50 seconds before the Swift trigger. The brightest burst in recent years, a signal from GRB 130427A has also been found in low energy radio waves by the Very Large Array (VLA) and at the highest energies ever recorded by the Fermi satellite. Neutrino, gravitational wave, and telescopes designed to detect only extremely high energy photons are checking their data for a GRB 130427A signal. Pictured in the above animation, the entire gamma-ray sky is shown becoming momentarily dominated by the intense glow of GRB 130427A. Continued tracking the optical counterpart will surely be ongoing as there is a possibility that the glow of a classic supernova will soon emerge. 17 minutes ago - Via Reshared Post - View - The Phoenix-Mockingjay Gazette : While still not as common as traditional chemical spacecraft engines, electric engines are growing in... While still not as common as traditional chemical spacecraft engines, electric engines are growing in popularity and could become a key element in NASA's goal of sending people to Mars, experts say. How Electric Spacecraft Could Fly NASA to Mars Electric propulsion technology has matured to the point that NASA may consider it as part of a scheme to send people to Mars. 18 minutes ago - Via Reshared Post - View - Konrad Ilgner : Why Are Google & NASA Getting a Quantum Computer? http://bit.ly/10Oy3Jp Why Are Google & NASA Getting a Quantum Computer? http://bit.ly/10Oy3Jp Why Are Google & NASA Getting a Quantum Computer?
