            "description": "There is a pioneer hurtling through space. Its name is New Horizons, and in the summer of 2015, it will become the first spacecraft to visit Pluto. The dwarf planet lies at the edge of the solar system in a region known as the Kuiper Belt, a thick and icy expanse of space that is chock-full of objects yet to be explored or even discovered. Pluto and its moons Charon, Nix, and Hydra are particularly intriguing to astronomers, who have never had the chance to examine a dwarf planet up close. New Horizons left Earth in 2006, packed with two of each electronic system to protect against any mishaps on the long voyage ahead. It has traveled about one million miles every day since.

            "description": "Not only does spring herald warmer days and blooming flowers, it also kicks off fireball season—a time of year when bright meteors appear in greater number than usual. Oftentimes fragments of asteroids and comets, meteors typically range in size from a few feet to smaller than a grain of sand. As these objects enter Earth's atmosphere, they break apart in fiery displays that last only seconds. In the weeks around the start of spring, the appearance rate of bright meteors, aka fireballs, can increase by as much as 30 percent. The reason why is still unknown, but one hypothesis is that more space debris litters this section of Earth's orbit. In search of the answer, NASA scientists set up a network of ground cameras that track and record video of meteors flaming overhead. The footage can be used to pinpoint a meteor's orbit and origin.

            "description": "Currently located beyond the orbit of Jupiter, Comet ISON is heading for a very close encounter with the sun next year. In November 2013, it will pass less than 0.012 Astronomical Units (Wikipedia) (1.8 million kilometers) from the center of the Sun, 1.2 million kilometers from the solar surface. The fierce heating it experiences in that approach could turn the comet into a bright naked-eye object.NOTE: This visualization was revised in March 2013 to fix an ephemeris error. Other enhancements were included in the revision.  Also fixed an error where perihelion distance was mistakenly labeled as distance from solar surface. || ",

            "description": "Comet ISON could put on quite a show later this year. Come November this frozen body traveling from the outer reaches of the solar system will pass within 1.1 million miles of the sun's fiery surface. What happens next will either be a magnificent spectacle or a grand disappointment. If the comet survives its trip around the sun, dust and volatile gases liberated from its icy interior will intensify the glow of its bright halo and long tail—offering stargazers a visual feast. Alternatively, the sun's immense gravity could disintegrate the comet just as it would become most visible from Earth. Scientists think this is the comet's first journey through the inner solar system, so there's a good chance it could be loaded with material ready to be lit up by the sun's energy. Expectations are high that the comet could even be seen in daylight, possibly shining as bright as the moon. Watch the video to learn more. || ",

            "description": "Comet Pan-STARRS may soon be visible to the naked eye. Scientists predict this icy body will be observable in the night sky next month as it loops around the sun and passes within 100 million miles of our planet. The comet is thought to have come from a distant region of space, beyond Pluto, known as the Oort cloud. Back in Oort, it was just another hunk of floating cosmic debris—a frozen cocktail of volatile gases and stellar dust. But as the object neared the inner solar system, heat and energy from the sun transformed its anatomy, adding a long tail to its defunct shape. The best time to see Comet Pan-STARRS is in mid-March, when it will appear in the western sky just after sunset. Watch the video to learn more about this comet and its journey through space. || ",

            "title": "Europa's Chaos Terrains",
            "description": "Hard layers of ice make up the surface of Jupiter's frozen moon Europa. Glacial cracks and ridges scar its frigid white plains, carving paths across an icy shell that conceals a deep ocean of liquid water. Closer inspection of the moon's fractured topography reveals highly disrupted areas, called chaos terrains, where blocks of ice appear to have broken off, drifted and refrozen to the surface. Searching for an explanation of how these features formed, researchers studying images of Europa taken by NASA's Galileo spacecraft have come up with an answer. As plumes of warm ocean water rise to the subsurface, massive lakes develop inside the moon's crust—some larger than North America's Great Lakes combined. Over time, the ice directly above these lakes collapses, splintering into floating geometric fragments that rotate, raft and resettle into all kinds of chaotic configurations. Watch the video to learn more about Europa's chaos terrains. || ",

            "description": "Suspended in the dark cosmos, Earth sings to itself in a high-pitched chorus of chirps and beeps. This song is a product of very low frequency radio waves generated by lightning strikes or excited electrons zipping through the Van Allen Belts, two vast swaths of radiation surrounding Earth. While ham radio operators have long detected this eerie planetary sound using inexpensive receivers, the recent recording by specially designed antennas on NASA's twin Van Allen Probes is one of the clearest examples ever captured. But could Earth's chorus be a siren song? The probes are now on a quest to find out whether these radio waves might be powering up otherwise harmless electrons in the Van Allen Belts, turning them into \"killer electrons\" capable of damaging satellites and astronauts. Watch the videos to hear and learn more about this rare recording. || ",

            "description": "NASA-supported researchers using a Japanese telescope in Hawaii have taken the first clear image of a rare sight: a star surrounded by a spiral-armed disk. Telescope images have shown hints of stars with spiral disks before. The clarity of this new image, however, is allowing researchers to study what causes this kind of spiral. Rings called circumstellar disks—composed of gas, dust and an accumulation of small objects—surround some stars. If the ring contains planets, their gravitational pull could alter its circular form and create the spiral arms. These videos take a closer look at the new image of star SAO 206462 and raise the question of whether orbiting planets, or something else entirely, created this curious shape. || ",

            "description": "Even though Vesta is only the size of Arizona, the asteroid may be a planet. New measurements taken by NASA's Dawn spacecraft, which arrived at Vesta in July 2011 and has orbited as close as 130 miles from the surface, show that beneath complex layers of rock lies a solid metal core. This distinct characteristic makes a strong case for Vesta's reclassification, as the separation of geologic material into crust, mantle and core layers is universal among the terrestrial planets in our solar system. Scientists argue Vesta could have grown to be a full-size planet, but the gravity of its massive neighbor Jupiter disrupted the process. The video below explores Vesta's landscape, history and prospects of being named a planet. || ",
