The damage allows sunlight to reach the detectors during the station’s daytime, saturating sensors and interfering with NICER’s X-ray measurements.

The area shown covers parts of Congo, Rwanda and Uganda.Lake Kivu, in the lower left of the image, lies within the East African Rift, an elongated tectonic pull-apart depression in Earth's crust. The rift extends to the northeast as a smooth lava- and sediment-filled trough. Two volcanic complexes are seen in the rift. The one closer to the lake is the Nyiragongo volcano, which erupted in January 2002, sending lava toward the lake shore and through the city of Goma. East of the rift, even more volcanoes are seen. These are the Virunga volcano chain, which is the home of the endangered mountain gorillas. Note that the terrain surrounding the volcanoes is much smoother than the eroding mountains that cover most of this view, such that topography alone is a good indicator of the extent of the lava flows.Elevation data used in this image was acquired by the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission aboard Space Shuttle Endeavour, launched on Feb. 11, 2000.

This new capability of combining information from all of these different messengers to more completely understand a source is called multimessenger astronomy.\n\nThe four messengers astronomers study are light in all its forms, cosmic rays, neutrinos, and gravitational waves.\n\nWhen an astronomical source varies slowly, astronomers can combine information from different messengers received at different times — sometimes even years apart — and still get a good picture of it. But many source types change rapidly with time. For them, it’s critical that observations occur simultaneously or within a short time span so that astronomers capture the properties of different messengers before the source changes.

The reason it hasn’t flown is just because it has taken a while for technology to catch up with the dreams that we had for this amazing mission.[0:23]The coolest thing about my job is just the sheer feeling that this is a 60-year journey that people have gone on to make Parker Solar Probe a reality and to be there at the finish line as we’re on the pad and ready to launch—that is definitely the coolest thing about my job.Betsy Congdon - Lead Thermal Protection Engineer, Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory[0:51]After working on this for 10 years, it is really a pleasure to see it actually coming to fruition. To be one small part of this huge engineering team that is making science dreams come true is just amazing. I can’t wait to re-write textbooks and change the way we look at the Sun forever. I’m a whole ball of excited, and I honestly don’t know exactly how I’m going to feel at launch but I’m really excited to pass this off to the mission operations team and see all the science data that comes down and just get to enjoy all that Solar Probe brings us.[1:32]There are many enabling technologies, the solar arrays are really important, the autonomy is very important, one of the ones that is obviously also critical is the heat shield, and developing the technology to actually protect the probe at the Sun.[1:49]A sandwich panel is a lot like a honeycomb panel you find in a traditional spacecraft or on airplanes. You have the outer face sheets, and then you have a core. In this case the two outer face sheets are carbon-carbon composite, which is a lot like the graphite epoxy you might find in your golf clubs, it’s just been super-heated, and then the inside is a carbon foam. So the Parker Solar Probe heat shield has a white coating that’s on the Sun-facing surface of this giant frisbee that’s protecting the rest of the spacecraft. And that white coating was specially designed here at the lab, in collaboration with REDD and the space department as well as the Whiting school at Johns Hopkins proper, to actually work at the Sun, specifically designed for Solar Probe. And the concept is basically you’d rather be in a white car on a hot day, than a black car on a hot day—it just knocks down the heat that much more. So it’s helping us stay cool at the Sun.[2:43]The titanium truss was also specially designed for solar probe. It’s a really neat piece. It’s a welded titanium truss that’s about 4 feet tall, but it only weighs about 50 pounds. And the key there is we’re trying to minimize the conduction between the heat shield and the spacecraft, so you want to have as little stuff there as possible.[3:05]But then also the first closest approach will be a very interesting time. We’ll obviously be working towards closest approach a long time and getting science back from the beginning, but the heat shield has to do its hardest work 7 years into the mission, which has always been an interesting construct of the mission.[3:27]When we’re at closest approach, the front surface of the heat shield will be at about 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit. The back surface of the heat shield will be about 600 degrees Fahrenheit. But the spacecraft bus is basically sitting at 85 degrees Fahrenheit. So the shield is actually really keeping everything very cool, most of the stuff is on the bus.[3:50]The mission that is in its current form is actually a solar powered mission, whereas some of the earlier concepts were nuclear powered. So they just had different mission designs, there were different constraints on the mission, and so once this current form iteration with a flat heat shield, or 8-foot frisbee as we like to say, because it’s basically a giant sandwich panel protecting the spacecraft as an umbrella, really developed as a part of this solar-powered mission that is its most recent rendition. And so, reaching out with expertise all around the lab, that whole team really brought this heat shield to fruition.Yanping Guo - Design and Navigation Manager, Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory[4:34]Of all the space missions I’ve worked on, Parker Solar Probe is the most challenging and complex mission to design and to fly. The launch energy required to reach the Sun is 55 times that required to get to Mars, and two times to Pluto.Annette Dolbow - Integration and Test Lead Engineer, Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory[5:00]So the tensest moment for me after launch is when we’re sitting in the control room and we’re waiting for that green telemetry to show that the spacecraft is turned on and we can actually talk to it. || 18-03953_PSP_Media_Soundbites_v1.00001_print.jpg (1024x576) [22.0 KB] || 18-03953_PSP_Media_Soundbites_v1.00001_searchweb.png (320x180) [8.9 KB] || 18-03953_PSP_Media_Soundbites_v1.00001_web.png (320x180) [8.9 KB] || 18-03953_PSP_Media_Soundbites_v1.00001_thm.png (80x40) [1.3 KB] || 18-03953_PSP_Media_Soundbites_v1.mp4 (1920x1080) [385.8 MB] || 18-03953_PSP_Media_Soundbites_v1.webm [41.0 MB] || ", "hits": 63 }, { "id": 4532, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4532/", "result_type": "Visualization", "release_date": "2018-06-12T11:00:00-04:00", "title": "Flying Through LIDAR Canopy Data", "description": "This animation shows an airplane collecting treetop data over a Brazilian rainforest. As the airplane continues to collect data, the viewer flies down to the rainforest canopy and flies through the virtual leaves, eventually emerging to see the airplane off in the distance still collecting new data. It should be noted that for the purposes of this animation, we chose to use leaf-like objects to represent each lidar data point in 3D space. However, lidar data does not specifically show individual leaves, but simply point heights reflected by the leaf canopy. However, the resolution of the lidar data is so good that it potentially can pick up leaves and other structures such as tree branches, and sometimes even flying birds, but has no easy way to differentiate between them. Therefore, since the location of this particular data was known to be a rainforest, and the majority of the data points would represent leaves, we chose leaf-like structures for this particular case. || flythrough.0520_print.jpg (1024x576) [192.8 KB] || flythrough.0520_searchweb.png (320x180) [84.5 KB] || flythrough.0520_thm.png (80x40) [5.8 KB] || flythrough_1080p30.mp4 (1920x1080) [82.6 MB] || flythrough_720p30.mp4 (1280x720) [39.9 MB] || 1920x1080_16x9_30p (1920x1080) [0 Item(s)] || flythrough_1080p30.webm (1920x1080) [5.9 MB] || flythrough_360p30.mp4 (640x360) [12.3 MB] || flythrough_4532.key [40.3 MB] || flythrough_4532.pptx [40.0 MB] || flythrough_1080p30.mp4.hwshow [184 bytes] || ", "hits": 157 }, { "id": 12543, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/12543/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2018-04-30T12:00:00-04:00", "title": "The Electron Beltway", "description": "NASA's Van Allen Probes reveal how electrons move through the radiation belts that surround Earth. || 12249_1280.jpg (1280x720) [576.4 KB] || 12249_1280_1024x576.jpg (1024x576) [386.3 KB] || ", "hits": 95 }, { "id": 12792, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/12792/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2017-12-05T15:00:00-05:00", "title": "NASA's TSIS-1: Tracking Sun’s Power to Earth (Prelaunch Media Roll-Ins)", "description": "We live on a solar-powered planet.

Untangling and identifying the different sources allows geomagnetic scientists to gather information about the individual processes that combine to create the full field.One contributor is the ocean. But how do the tides affect Earth’s magnetic field? Seawater is an electrical conductor, and therefore interacts with the magnetic field. As the tides cycle around the ocean basins, the ocean water essentially tries to pull the geomagnetic field lines along. Because the salty water is a good, but not great, conductor, the interaction is relatively weak. The strongest component is from the regular lunar tide that happens about twice per day (actually 12.42 hours). Other contributions come from ocean swell, eddies, and even tsunamis.The strength of the interaction also depends on the temperature of the ocean water. Scientists are now able to determine how much heat is being stored in the entire ocean, from wave top to sea floor by observations of the Earth's magnetic field. || ", "hits": 223 }, { "id": 4533, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4533/", "result_type": "Visualization", "release_date": "2016-12-15T00:00:00-05:00", "title": "Atmospheric CO2 from AIRS 2002-2016", "description": "This visualization is an update of the global distribution and variation of the concentration of mid-tropospheric carbon dioxide observed by the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) on the NASA Aqua spacecraft.

The global map clearly shows that the CO2 in the northern hemisphere peaks in April-May and then drops to a minimum in September-October. Although the seasonal cycle is less pronounced in the southern hemisphere it is opposite to that in the northern hemisphere. This seasonal cycle is governed by the growth cycle of plants. The northern hemisphere has the majority of the land masses, and so the amplitude of the cycle is greater in that hemisphere. The overall color of the map shifts toward the red with advancing time due to the annual increase of CO2. || ", "hits": 31 }, { "id": 12456, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/12456/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2016-12-12T18:45:00-05:00", "title": "Tracking Ocean Heat With Magnetic Fields", "description": "As Earth warms, much of the extra heat is stored in the planet’s ocean – but monitoring the magnitude of that heat content is a difficult task.

Scientists have observed the Earth’s lights at night for more than four decades using military satellites and astronaut photography; however, the view became significantly clearer after using satellite data from a low-light sensor onboard the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (NPP) satellite, launched in October 2011. The satellite’s Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) “day-night band” can observe dim signals such as city lights (down to the scale of an isolated highway lamp), wildfires, gas flares, auroras, and reflected moonlight during nighttime hours. Swaths of VIIRS data are processed to find moonless, non-cloudy pixels. These “good” pixels are averaged at each location to produce a global image that depicts the Earth’s lights at night. Each pixel shows roughly 0.46 miles (742 meters) across.The top image, centered on France, is a composite of VIIRS data acquired between October 1, 2014 and April 30, 2015. Paris is visible just above the center of the image. North of Paris and across the English Channel (black), London is visible. The relatively dim Alps, characterized by their crescent-shaped geography, are speckled with lights from car headlights and lit roadways. South of the Alps several major cities in Italy are visible with the brightest spot being Milan. Rome is visible in the bottom right of the image. Strings and clusters of light out at sea are produced by ship lights. The second image, centered on France, is a composite of data from the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) Operational Linescan System (OLS) acquired during 2013. Each pixel shows roughly 1.86 miles (3 kilometers) across. The DMSP OLS night-lights data are available starting in 1992, and provide the ability to measure changes in light extent and locations over the past two decades.The image of Australia at night is a composite of VIIRS data acquired between January 1, 2015 and July 31, 2015. Major cities such as Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth are well lit along the coast. Alice Springs—situated in the geographic center of Australia—is some 1,500 kilometers from the nearest major city. Transient lights—those visible in only one monthly image—are colored red. These lights are mainly from brushfires burning during the dry season (May-July) in Australia’s Northern Territory and northern parts of Western Australia. Aside from fires, some of the transient lights could be attributed to natural gas flares, lightning, oil drilling, or mining operations. || ", "hits": 112 }, { "id": 4386, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4386/", "result_type": "Visualization", "release_date": "2015-10-09T17:00:00-04:00", "title": "Beyond Graphs: You, Too, Can Be A Data Visualizer!", "description": "This gallery was created for Earth Science Week 2015 and beyond.

Think about it: even though we don't see it, above us is a great aerial ocean! Over time my fascination has grown from weather maps and pondering the origins of storms, to learning all about the physics that surround our everyday lives. From as early as grade school I was also very interested in computers: diagnosing errors, developing programming skills and learning all about hardware and operating systems. So you might say my interests naturally led me to a career as a NASA scientist, where I create visualizations to study the underlying factors that drive weather patterns. Visualizations help us to see the world differently and actively.Many of you have no doubt seen your homes from space using a program called Google Earth™. But did you know you could do a lot more with the right data? In fact I often use it to map atmospheric data in three-dimensions (3-D) around the globe. But one of the challenges I often face is that data comes from many different sources, such as NASA and NOAA satellites or ground-observation stations. This means the data is stored on computer disks all over the country and are named and organized according to different standards, requiring us to customize techniques for producing accurate visualizations in one, 3-D display of the Earth. We do this in order to analyze atmospheric relationships more easily because many weather phenomena arise from physical interactions, both horizontally and vertically, in the global circulation.A big part of atmospheric research relies on using computer models to simulate what our atmosphere will do under different conditions. A great example of this is the data used to prepare the daily weather forecast. This data originates from weather forecasting models that calculate atmospheric motions using the world’s fastest supercomputers. But how do we know these forecasts are accurate? Researchers can verify a model's performance by visualizing one of the variables such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, or air pressure and then using color shading, contour curves, and wind \"barbs\" to graph that data. Then they overlay the observations from NASA satellites such as cloud-top imagery, cloud-top temperature, and vertical distributions of clouds and aerosols, with the graph (it can be challenging to synchronize the data display as these times usually don't match). After this process, the display confirms the model's accuracy. This method is used to study many atmospheric events, such as timing of a storm system, precipitation, or the direction of dust or smoke transport. || ", "hits": 98 }, { "id": 4362, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4362/", "result_type": "Visualization", "release_date": "2015-09-28T14:00:00-04:00", "title": "Dust in the Wind", "description": "This gallery was created for Earth Science Week 2015 and beyond.

The dust travels across the Atlantic Ocean, with some of it reaching as far as the Amazon Rainforest. African dust contains phosphorus, which is an important nutrient for plants, so each year the Amazon Rainforest is fertilized by dust blown all the way from Africa! We created this data visualization to tell the incredible story of this great migration.To create this visualization, I used data from NASA’s CALIPSO satellite, which measures aerosols in the atmosphere. Using Autodesk Maya and Pixar’s Renderman software (the same software Pixar uses to make movies), I created a virtual Earth with vertical walls for each time the CALIPSO satellite passed over the dust cloud. Each wall has a picture (we call them \"textures\") that represents the data collected by the satellite at that location. Each wall slices through the dust cloud, and shows us a cross-sectional view of dust distribution in the atmosphere. Although dust clouds can be seen in satellite imagery as hazy brown sections, it’s hard to determine their altitude. Knowing the height at which dust travels will help scientists determine where the dust will go, how it moves at different altitudes and how it will interact with the Earth’s climate. CALIPSO allows scientists to clearly see the shape of a dust cloud in three dimensions.The second section of the visualization describes dust flux, or how much dust flows through a specific region over a period of time. To visualize flux, I used a particle system in Autodesk Maya that creates particles at a rate and velocity relative to the flux value for a region at each time step. As the flux value increases, additional particles are created and they move faster. As flux goes down, fewer particles are created and they move slower. The result is a particle cloud that changes shape with the seasons as flux values go up and down. || ", "hits": 29 }, { "id": 4314, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4314/", "result_type": "Visualization", "release_date": "2015-09-09T10:00:00-04:00", "title": "2017 Total Solar Eclipse in the U.S.", "description": "A view of the United States during the total solar eclipse of August 21, 2017, showing the umbra (black oval), penumbra (concentric shaded ovals), and path of totality (red) through or very near several major cities. || usa.0780_print.jpg (1024x576) [144.7 KB] || usa.0780_searchweb.png (320x180) [90.1 KB] || usa.0780_thm.png (80x40) [6.8 KB] || eclipse2017usa_1080p30.mp4 (1920x1080) [26.0 MB] || eclipse2017usa_720p30.mp4 (1280x720) [14.0 MB] || eclipse2017usa_720p30.webm (1280x720) [5.0 MB] || fancy (1920x1080) [0 Item(s)] || eclipse2017usa_2160p30.mp4 (3840x2160) [69.5 MB] || eclipse2017usa_360p30.mp4 (640x360) [5.1 MB] || fancy (3840x2160) [0 Item(s)] || 9600x3240_3x1_30p (9600x3240) [0 Item(s)] || 2017_US_eclipse_4314.pptx [14.6 MB] || 2017_US_eclipse_4314.key [17.1 MB] || ", "hits": 221 }, { "id": 40239, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/gallery/siggraph-2015/", "result_type": "Gallery", "release_date": "2015-08-08T00:00:00-04:00", "title": "Visualizations Presented at SIGGRAPH 2015", "description": "The SIGGRAPH conference is widely recognized as the most prestigious forum for the publication of computer graphics research.

In a new study, scientists from NASA Goddard Space Flight Center say that the ozone hole will be consistently smaller than 8 million square miles by the year 2040.Ozone-depleting chemicals in the atmosphere cause an ozone hole to form over Antarctica during the winter months in the Southern Hemisphere. Since the Montreal Protocol agreement in 1987, emissions have been regulated and chemical levels have been declining. However, the ozone hole has still remained bigger than 8 million square miles since the early 1990s, with exact sizes varying from year to year.The size of the ozone hole varies due to both temperature and levels of ozone-depleting chemicals in the atmosphere. In order to get a more accurate picture of the future size of the ozone hole, scientists used NASA’s AURA satellite to determine how much the levels of these chemicals in the atmosphere varied each year. With this new knowledge, scientists can confidently say that the ozone hole will be consistently smaller than 8 million square miles by the year 2040.

As with many measurements, they are only useful if they can be placed in the proper context - their relationship to other measurements at the same, and different, locations. To assemble these measurements within context, we also need to know where and when the measurements were taken, and to do that, we need to define a coordinate system.In three-dimensional space, we define a position with three numbers, relative to a point we define as the Origin of the coordinate system, defined as (0,0,0). Each number represents a distance from the origin along one of three directions. We usually defined these directions by axes, labelled X, Y, and Z, which are defined to be mutually perpendicular, each one is at right angles to the others.While all coordinate systems are equal, all coordinate systems are not equally convenient for a given problem of interest. Sometimes the data and mathematics we use for exploring different problems can be more complex in one coordinate system or another. To simplify this, we often define a number of different coordinate systems and ways to do transformations between them.In studying the space environment around Earth, we find five different coordinate systems of use. Geocentric (GEO): This is the coordinate system useful for measuring things close to Earth’s surface. The origin is chosen at the center of Earth. The x-axis points from the center of Earth through the Prime Meridian (by convention chosen as the meridian in Greenwich, London, UK (longitude = 0). The z-axis points towards the north geographic pole. Geocentric Earth Inertial (GEI): This coordinate system is fixed relative to the distant stars, so Earth rotates about the z-axis relative to it. The origin of this coordinate system is at the center of the Earth. The x-axis points to the first point in Aries (Wikipedia: Vernal Equinox) and the z-axis points to the north geographic & celestial pole. The direction of the celestial pole changes due to Earth’s rotational precession (Wikipedia). Geocentric Solar Ecliptic (GSE): The origin is at the center of the Earth. The x-axis is along the line between Earth and the Sun. The z-axis is the north ecliptic pole and is fixed in direction (but for slow changes due to Earth orbital changes). Solar Magnetic (SM): the origin is at the center of the Earth. The z-axis is chosen parallel to the Earth magnetic dipole axis. The y-axis is chosen to be perpendicular to the z-axis and the Earth-Sun line (pointing towards dusk). Geocentric Solar Magnetospheric (GSM): The origin is at the center of the Earth. The x-axis is defined as the Earth-Sun line (same as in GSE). The y-axis is defined to be perpendicular to the plane containing the x-axis and the magnetic dipole axis so the magnetic axis always lies in this plane.Similar coordinate systems are defined for the Sun and other planets of the Solar System.Development Note: This visualization was originally developed to test coordinate system transformations in the visualization framework.References:C.

For this, engineers need a consistent source of light to measure. And while there are some spots on Earth – like the Sahara Desert or other arid sites - that reflect a relatively stable amount of light, nothing on our planet beats the moon, which lacks an atmosphere and has an unchanging surface, barring the odd meteorite.The Landsat Program is a series of Earth-observing satellite missions jointly managed by NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey.

Goossens et al. from data returned by the Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) mission.If the Moon were a perfectly smooth sphere of uniform density, the gravity map would be a single, featureless color, indicating that the force of gravity at a given elevation was the same everywhere. But like other rocky bodies in the solar system, including Earth, the Moon has both a bumpy surface and a lumpy interior. Spacecraft in orbit around the Moon experience slight variations in gravity caused by both of these irregularities.The free-air gravity map shows deviations from the mean gravity that a cueball Moon would have. The deviations are measured in milliGals, a unit of acceleration. On the map, purple is at the low end of the range, at around -400 mGals, and red is at the high end near +400 mGals. Yellow denotes the mean.The map shown here extends from the south pole of the Moon up to 50°S and reveals the gravity for that region in even finer detail than the global gravity maps published previously. The image illustrates the very good correlation between the gravity map and topographic features such as peaks and craters, as well as the mass concentration lying beneath the large Schrödinger basin in the center of the frame.

Telescopes can also collect light in ranges that our eyes alone cannot see, providing scientists ways of observing a whole host of material and processes that would otherwise be inaccessible. A new NASA movie of the sun based on data from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory, or SDO, shows the wide range of wavelengths – invisible to the naked eye – that the telescope can view. SDO converts the wavelengths into an image humans can see, and the light is colorized into a rainbow of colors. As the colors sweep around the sun in the movie, viewers should note how different the same area of the sun appears. This happens because each wavelength of light represents solar material at specific temperatures. Different wavelengths convey information about different components of the sun's surface and atmosphere, so scientists use them to paint a full picture of our constantly changing and varying star.Yellow light of 5800 angstroms, for example, generally emanates from material of about 10,000 degrees F (5700 degrees C), which represents the surface of the sun. Extreme ultraviolet light of 94 angstroms, which is typically colorized in green in SDO images, comes from atoms that are about 11 million degrees F (6,300,000 degrees C) and is a good wavelength for looking at solar flares, which can reach such high temperatures. By examining pictures of the sun in a variety of wavelengths – as is done not only by SDO, but also by NASA's Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph, NASA's Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory and the European Space Agency/NASA Solar and Heliospheric Observatory — scientists can track how particles and heat move through the sun's atmosphere. || ", "hits": 104 }, { "id": 11379, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/11379/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2013-10-24T10:00:00-04:00", "title": "Filament Eruption Creates 'Canyon of Fire' on the Sun", "description": "A magnetic filament of solar material erupted on the sun in late September, breaking the quiet conditions in a spectacular fashion. The 200,000 mile long filament ripped through the sun's atmosphere, the corona, leaving behind what looks like a canyon of fire. The glowing canyon traces the channel where magnetic fields held the filament aloft before the explosion. Visualizers at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. combined two days of satellite data to create a short movie of this gigantic event on the sun.In reality, the sun is not made of fire, but of something called plasma: particles so hot that their electrons have boiled off, creating a charged gas that is interwoven with magnetic fields. These images were captured on Sept. 29-30, 2013, by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory, or SDO, which constantly observes the sun in a variety of wavelengths. Different wavelengths help capture different aspect of events in the corona. The red images shown in the movie help highlight plasma at temperatures of 90,000° F and are good for observing filaments as they form and erupt. The yellow images, showing temperatures at 1,000,000° F, are useful for observing material coursing along the sun's magnetic field lines, seen in the movie as an arcade of loops across the area of the eruption. The browner images at the beginning of the movie show material at temperatures of 1,800,000° F, and it is here where the canyon of fire imagery is most obvious.

Expectations are high that the comet could even be seen in daylight, possibly shining as bright as the moon.

GRAIL ended its mission with a planned impact into the side of a lunar mountain on December 17, 2012. Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) maneuvered into an orbit that would allow it to observe the impact. One of LRO's instruments, the Lyman-Alpha Mapping Project (LAMP), looked for the chemical signatures of a number of elements, including hydrogen and mercury, in the dust plume kicked up by the impact.This animation shows the relative positions of GRAIL and LRO at the time of the impact, as well as the view from LAMP as it scanned for the dust plume. The LAMP sensor is a 6.0° x 0.3° slit that was positioned to look over the limb of the Moon, so that it would be pointed into the tenuous dust plume with only the sky in the background. This observation was possible, in part, because GRAIL impacted on the night side of the Moon, where there was no concern that LAMP's sensitive detector could be blinded by sunlit terrain. From Earth, the Moon was a waxing crescent at the time of the impact. || ", "hits": 67 } ] }
