Astrofisica NASA
Con motivo del Año Internacional de la Astronomia y de los ultimos proyectos , que ya son muchos, de la NASA y la ESA mas las Agencias Espaciales de otros paises como JAXA en Japon etc , en esta pagina iremos poniendo las ultimas news, proyectos, eventos y videos que publiques estas Agencias antes mencionadas.
Equinox at Saturn
09.21.09 – After a 15-year wait, equinox arrived at Saturn and Cassini was there to witness the spectacle of light and shadow.
Orion in Low Earth Orbit
This is a NASA produced video about Orion in Low Earth Orbit. Guests Julie Kramer White and John Curry discuss the Orion in Low Earth Orbit and its missions to the International Space Station.
NASA Science for a Hungry World
As the first of six episodes, Science for a Hungry World: Part 1 sets the groundwork for explaining why NASA data is critical to ensure a stable global food system. This video reveals how satellite remote sensing data provide the world with essential information like the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, or NDVI, which allows scientists and governments to see the health of crops on a global scale. This video reinforces the idea that a unique perspective from space is essential for continuous global agricultural monitoring and accurate forecasting.
Fits like an EVA glove.
Astronaut Jeff Williams does the final fit check for his custom EVA gloves at NASA’s Johnson Space Center. Williams will conduct EVAs during his mission aboard the International Space Station. Jeff Williams arrives at the International Space Station on October 2, 2009 after launching from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.

NASA | SDO’s Instruments: EVE
Dean Pesnell, the SDO Project Scientist, explains how the the Extreme Ultraviolet Variability Experiment (EVE) instrument will allow us to better measure solar irradiance in extreme ultraviolet wavelengths. This type of irradiance, which is absorbed completely by Earth’s upper atmosphere, can be dangerous to astronauts and electronics in space.
