Above the mesosphere is the thermosphere, ranging from about 53 to 375 miles above Earth. Known as the upper atmosphere, this region contains the ionosphere, a region filled with charged particles that enable radio communications and where auroras often occur.

The research has also uncovered new details about the explosion that created Cas A about 340 years ago, from Earth’s perspective.A new composite image contains X-rays from Chandra (blue), infrared data from Webb (red, green, blue), and optical data from Hubble (red and white). The outer parts of the image also include infrared data from NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope (red, green and blue). The outline of the Green Monster can be seen by mousing over the image in the original feature, located here: chandra.cfa.harvard.edu/photo/2024/casa/.The Chandra data reveals hot gas, mostly from supernova debris from the destroyed star, including elements like silicon and iron. In the outer parts of Cas A the expanding blast wave is striking surrounding gas that was ejected by the star before the explosion. The X-rays are produced by energetic electrons spiraling around magnetic field lines in the blast wave. These electrons light up as thin arcs in the outer regions of Cas A, and in parts of the interior. Webb highlights infrared emission from dust that is warmed up because it is embedded in the hot gas seen by Chandra, and from much cooler supernova debris. The Hubble data shows stars in the field.Detailed analysis by the researchers found that filaments in the outer part of Cas A, from the blast wave, closely matched the X-ray properties of the Green Monster, including less iron and silicon than in the supernova debris. This interpretation is apparent from the color Chandra image, which shows that the colors inside the Green Monster’s outline best match with the colors of the blast wave rather than the debris with iron and silicon. The authors conclude that the Green Monster was created by a blast wave from the exploded star slamming into material surrounding it, supporting earlier suggestions from the Webb data alone.The debris from the explosion is seen by Chandra because it is heated to tens of millions of degrees by shock waves, akin to sonic booms from a supersonic plane. Webb can see some material that has not been affected by shock waves, what can be called “pristine” debris.Read more here: chandra.cfa.harvard.edu/photo/2024/casa/. || 53453268481_e80cfca2d4_o.jpg (4200x3386) [7.1 MB] || 53453268481_e80cfca2d4_o_searchweb.png (320x180) [121.1 KB] || 53453268481_e80cfca2d4_o_thm.png (80x40) [15.9 KB] || webb-chandra-hubble-and-spitzer-all-explore-cassiopeia-a-composite-all-4.hwshow || ", "hits": 316 }, { "id": 31286, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/31286/", "result_type": "Hyperwall Visual", "release_date": "2024-05-28T00:00:00-04:00", "title": "Webb Space Telescope Studies the Pillars of Creation", "description": "Webb MIRI ImageNASA’s James Webb Space Telescope’s mid-infrared view of the Pillars of Creation strikes a chilling tone. Thousands of stars that exist in this region disappear – and seemingly endless layers of gas and dust become the centerpiece.The detection of dust by Webb’s Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) is extremely important – dust is a major ingredient for star formation. Many stars are actively forming in these dense blue-gray pillars. When knots of gas and dust with sufficient mass form in these regions, they begin to collapse under their own gravitational attraction, slowly heat up – and eventually form new stars.Although the stars appear missing, they aren’t. Stars typically do not emit much mid-infrared light. Instead, they are easiest to detect in ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared light. In this MIRI view, two types of stars can be identified. The stars at the end of the thick, dusty pillars have recently eroded the material surrounding them. They show up in red because their atmospheres are still enshrouded in cloaks of dust. In contrast, blue tones indicate stars that are older and have shed most of their gas and dust.Mid-infrared light also details dense regions of gas and dust. The red region toward the top, which forms a delicate V shape, is where the dust is both diffuse and cooler. And although it may seem like the scene clears toward the bottom left of this view, the darkest gray areas are where densest and coolest regions of dust lie. Notice that there are many fewer stars and no background galaxies popping into view.Webb’s mid-infrared data will help researchers determine exactly how much dust is in this region – and what it’s made of. These details will make models of the Pillars of Creation far more precise. Over time, we will begin to more clearly understand how stars form and burst out of these dusty clouds over millions of years. || STScI-01GFRYYRTCTMX197BY86MBFCR9-pillars.png (1987x1817) [4.1 MB] || STScI-01GFRYYRTCTMX197BY86MBFCR9-pillars-hwres_print.jpg (1024x576) [125.2 KB] || STScI-01GFRYYRTCTMX197BY86MBFCR9-pillars-hwres.png (3840x2160) [4.3 MB] || STScI-01GFRYYRTCTMX197BY86MBFCR9-pillars-hwres_searchweb.png (320x180) [65.3 KB] || STScI-01GFRYYRTCTMX197BY86MBFCR9-pillars-hwres_thm.png (80x40) [7.3 KB] || webb-space-telescope-studies-the-pillars-of-creation.hwshow [368 bytes] || ", "hits": 373 }, { "id": 31284, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/31284/", "result_type": "Hyperwall Visual", "release_date": "2024-05-27T00:00:00-04:00", "title": "The Webb Space Telescope Studies the Southern Ring Nebula", "description": "Webb Space Telescope NIRCam image || southern-ring-nebula_00433_print.jpg (1024x576) [198.6 KB] || southern-ring-nebula_00433.png (3840x2160) [8.6 MB] || NGC_3132_webb_NIRCam-STScI-01G8GZQ3ZFJRD8YF8YZWMAXCE3.png (4833x4501) [21.3 MB] || southern-ring-nebula_00433_searchweb.png (320x180) [90.4 KB] || southern-ring-nebula_00433_thm.png (80x40) [6.2 KB] || the-webb-space-telescope-studies-the-southern-ring-nebula-nircam-view.hwshow [274 bytes] || ", "hits": 161 }, { "id": 5259, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/5259/", "result_type": "Visualization", "release_date": "2024-04-19T10:00:00-04:00", "title": "PACE - First Look at OCI, HARP2, and SPEXone data", "description": "This visualization begins with a view of the PACE spacecraft orbiting Earth.

The room is a class 10,000 clean room with over one million cubic feet of space.The outside half of Roman, called OSD, contains the solar panels and protective layers. The Deployable Aperture Cover, which protects the mirrors during launch and then unfolds to help shield them from sunlight does a test deployment. During this test, lines connect to it and pull upward to negate Earth’s gravitational forces, which Roman will not experience in space. Then the Solar Array Sun Shield panels deploy. There are four panels that move. They fold against the spacecraft to fit inside the rocket fairing and then deploy in space to make a large flat plane that both collects light to generate electricity and helps keep the rest of Roman cool.In preparation for additional testing, technicians put a clean tent over OSD and transport it out of the clean room. They push it into the acoustic test chamber where a six-foot-tall horn projects up to 150-decibel sound at varying frequencies. The other tests are on two vibration tables that shake Roman along all three axes: up/down, left/right, and forward/backward. Engineers attach hundreds of sensors and run tests of increasing intensity. During and after each test, they carefully study the data to make sure that Roman is behaving as they anticipated.While these tests occur, Roman’s inside half, containing the mirrors, instruments and support equipment, move into Goddard’s largest thermal vacuum chamber, the SES (Space Environment Simulator). This 40-foot-tall chamber can simulate the vacuum of space and the wide temperature range that Roman will experience there: from -310° Fahrenheit (-190° C) to 302° Fahrenheit (150° C). The move to the chamber happens without a clean tent, so the entire path was cleaned, and all the workers dress in full clean-room garb to ensure that no dirt contaminates the sensitive parts of the spacecraft. Once the two layers of doors are sealed, Roman spends 72 days inside running through tests at various temperatures and with equipment turned on to ensure that it works at low temperature in a vacuum. A special array installed above the mirror projects light that engineers use to test the optics and sensors.After leaving the SES chamber and returning to the SSDIF, Roman’s primary and secondary mirrors are carefully cleaned and inspected. It is a balance to get the mirrors as clean as possible while not cleaning too aggressively and damaging the delicate surfaces. The mirrors are cleaned both horizontally with a gentle vacuum cleaner and vertically with brushes. After this cleaning, every inch is visually inspected and photographed to record the exact optical characteristics. This was the last time the primary mirror would be accessible.Finally, in late November, Roman’s two halves are joined together to form the complete observatory. The process takes the better part of a day. Two guide poles are installed on the inside half to help direct OSD down onto it. At various times, the clearances between the two halves are only a few inches. With the observatory complete, it begins preparing for another round of deployments and testing.Music credit: “Our Journey Begins,” Dan Thiessen [BMI], Universal Production MusicWatch this video on the NASA Goddard YouTube channel.Complete transcript available. || YTframe_Roman_Hardware_Highlights_SummerFall2025_3.jpg (1280x720) [473.7 KB] || Roman_HH_Summer-Fall2025_10mbps.mp4 (1920x1080) [185.0 MB] || Roman_HH_Summer-Fall2025_25mbps.mp4 (1920x1080) [452.7 MB] || Roman_HH_Summer-Fall2025_YT.mp4 (1920x1080) [880.2 MB] || RomanHHLate2025Captions.en_US.srt [588 bytes] || RomanHHLate2025Captions.en_US.vtt [570 bytes] || Roman_HH_Summer-Fall2025_ProRes_1920x1080_2997.mov (1920x1080) [2.5 GB] || ", "hits": 240 }, { "id": 5157, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/5157/", "result_type": "Visualization", "release_date": "2023-11-28T09:20:00-05:00", "title": "Fermi Catalog of Gamma-ray Pulsars", "description": "A visualization of the 294 pulsars in the Fermi gamma-ray pulsar catalog.

In 2019, NASA's James Webb Space Telescope celebrated the full mechanical and electrical assembly of the world's largest, most powerful space science observatory ever built. Meaning that Webb's two halves have been physically put together and its wiring harnesses and electrical interfaces have been connected.Following assembly, the Webb team moved on to successfully send deployment and tensioning commands to all five layers of its sunshield, which is designed to protect the observatory's mirrors and scientific instruments from light and heat, primarily from the Sun. Ensuring mission success for an observatory of this scale and complexity is a challenging endevour. All of the telescope's major components have been tested individually through simulated environments they would encounter during launch, and while orbiting a million miles away from earth. Now that Webb is fully assembled, it must meet rigorous observatory-level standards. The complete spacecraft reacts and performs differently to testing environments than when its components are tested individually.The 1:00 minute video was created by NASA's videographers and filmed over a period of time at Northrop Grumman's clean room in Redondo Beach, California.Following Webb's successful sunshield deployment and tensioning test, members have nearly finished the long process of perfectly folding the sunshield back into its stowed position for flight, which occupies a much smaller space than when it is fully deployed. Then, the observatory will be subject to comprehensive electrical tests and one more set of mechanical tests that emulate the launch acoustic and vibration environment, followed by one final deployment and stowing cycle on the ground, before its flight into space. || ", "hits": 73 }, { "id": 4724, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4724/", "result_type": "Visualization", "release_date": "2020-02-21T00:00:00-05:00", "title": "Vegetation index anomalies and Rift Valley fever (RVF) outbreaks in Africa and Middle East during 2000-2018", "description": "Data visualization featuring vegetation index anomalies over Africa and Middle East and locations of Rift Valley Fever (RVF) outbreaks (orange pins) during the period of 2000-2018.

This visualization with corresponding data dashboard shows how Sea Surface Temperature (SST) anomalies in the equatorial Pacific Ocean (left) gave rise to Precipitation (center) and Vegetation (right) Index Anomalies in South Africa. During La Niña events, Southern Africa receives persistent and above normal rainfall, which floods habitats of RVF mosquito vectors triggering hatching of RVF virus infected eggs. The above-normal rainfall is followed by an increase in vegetation creating appropriate habitats for the mosquito vectors setting the stage for RVF outbreak activity, which in simple terms means an uptick in mosquito populations that cause infections of domestic livestock and human populations with the RVF virus.

The X-ray burst, the brightest seen by NICER so far, came from an object named SAX J1808.4-3658, or J1808 for short. The observations reveal many phenomena that have never been seen together in a single burst. In addition, the subsiding fireball briefly brightened again for reasons astronomers cannot yet explain. The data reveal a two-step change in brightness, which scientists think is caused by the ejection of separate layers from the pulsar surface, and other features that will help them decode the physics of these powerful events.The explosion, which astronomers classify as a Type I X-ray burst, released as much energy in 20 seconds as the Sun does in nearly 10 days.J1808 is located about 11,000 light-years away in the constellation Sagittarius, spins at a dizzying 401 rotations each second, and is one member of a binary system. Its companion is a brown dwarf, an object larger than a giant planet yet too small to be a star. A steady stream of hydrogen gas flows from the companion toward the neutron star, and it accumulates in a vast storage structure called an accretion disk.Hydrogen raining onto the pulsar's surface forms a hot, ever-deepening global “sea.” At the base of this layer, temperatures and pressures increase until hydrogen nuclei fuse to form helium nuclei, which produces energy — a process at work in the core of our Sun. The helium settles out and builds up a layer of its own. Eventually, the conditions allow helium nuclei to fuse into carbon. The helium erupts explosively and unleashes a thermonuclear fireball across the entire pulsar surface.As the burst started, NICER data show that its X-ray brightness leveled off for almost a second before increasing again at a slower pace. The researchers interpret this “stall” as the moment when the energy of the blast built up enough to blow the pulsar’s hydrogen layer into space. The fireball continued to build for another two seconds and then reached its peak, blowing off the more massive helium layer. The helium expanded faster, overtook the hydrogen layer before it could dissipate, and then slowed, stopped and settled back down onto the pulsar’s surface. Following this phase, the pulsar briefly brightened again by roughly 20 percent for reasons the team does not yet understand. || ", "hits": 90 }, { "id": 40388, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/gallery/nasaearth-science/", "result_type": "Gallery", "release_date": "2019-09-13T10:53:37-04:00", "title": "NASA Earth Science", "description": "NASA’s Earth Science Division (ESD) missions help us to understand our planet’s interconnected systems, from a global scale down to minute processes.

They portray both the location and size of the 31-kilometer-wide impact crater beneath Hiawatha Glacier. They also portray the structure of the glacier ice that flows into and fills the crater.The Hiawatha impact crater was first suspected to exist in the summer of 2015, from examination of a compilation of Greenland's sub-ice topography radar measurements made by NASA over two decades. The visualizations of the subsurface shown below are derived from a spring 2016 airborne survey by Germany's Alfred Wegener Institute, using a new ultrawideband radar sounder developed by the Center for Remote Sensing of Ice Sheets at The University of Kansas. Subsequent helicopter visits to the deglaciated terrain in front of Hiawatha Glacier by scientists from the Natural History Museum in Denmark recovered sediment samples from the main river that discharges water from beneath Hiawatha Glacier, through the northwestern rim breach. Laboratory examination revealed that these sediment samples contained shocked quartz and elevated platinum-group-element concentrations, both signs that the sediment records evidence of the impact of an iron asteroid more than one kilometer wide. The Hiawatha impact crater is potentially one of the youngest large impact craters on Earth.In the visualizations below, the elevation of the topography of the bed, the ice surface and the radar curtains have been exaggerated ten times in order to better illustrate their structure. || ", "hits": 205 }, { "id": 12947, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/12947/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2018-10-16T12:00:00-04:00", "title": "Launching an ICON", "description": "The Ionospheric Connection Explorer will explore the mysteries of where Earth meets space. || STORYCOVER_ICON_Image_Portrait16x9_1024x576.jpg (1024x576) [187.1 KB] || STORYCOVER_ICON_Image_Portrait16x9.jpg (2550x1434) [637.0 KB] || STORYCOVER_NEW_ICON_Image_Portrait.jpg (2550x3300) [707.1 KB] || STORYCOVER_ICON_Image_Portrait16x9_searchweb.png (320x180) [82.4 KB] || STORYCOVER_ICON_Image_Portrait16x9_thm.png (80x40) [5.7 KB] || ", "hits": 52 }, { "id": 4683, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4683/", "result_type": "Visualization", "release_date": "2018-10-10T00:00:00-04:00", "title": "NASA Scientists see Gravity Waves in Concentric Rings", "description": "NASA scientists have tracked gravity waves traveling thousands of miles across our atmosphere in concentric rings. Large storms can create these waves, which grow and spread upward hundreds of miles above Earth's surface. The AIRS instrument on NASA's Aqua satellite detected gravity waves in the troposphere and stratosphere 12 hours before a deadly EF5 tornado in Moore, Oklahoma, in 2013. On the instrument's next pass 11 hours later, it detected even stronger waves.We pull up 250 miles to the ionosphere, where the waves can be observed by GPS satellites. Here gravity waves are shown in greens and yellows, like ripples in a pond. The waves and tornado were both produced by a long-lived storm system.Understanding the spread of gravity waves improves global weather forecasting and space weather forecasting.Complete transcript available.This video is also available on our YouTube channel. || GravityWavesBeforeAfterMooreTornado_0740_print.jpg (1024x576) [131.1 KB] || GravityWavesBeforeAfterMooreTornado_0740_searchweb.png (320x180) [102.9 KB] || GravityWavesBeforeAfterMooreTornado_0740_thm.png (80x40) [8.3 KB] || GravityWavesBeforeAfterMooreTornado_0740.tif (1920x1080) [3.2 MB] || GravityWavesMooreOK-SameWordsDifferentOrder.webm (1920x1080) [7.4 MB] || GWfacebook-AIRS-TEC-GOES-4k-audio.mp4 (1920x1080) [76.1 MB] || GravityWavesMooreOK-SameWordsDifferentOrder.mp4 (1920x1080) [117.1 MB] || composite (3849x2160) [0 Item(s)] || GW4k-AIRS-TEC-GOES-4k-audio-youtube.en_US.srt [1.2 KB] || GW4k-AIRS-TEC-GOES-4k-audio-youtube.en_US.vtt [1.2 KB] || GW4k-AIRS-TEC-GOES-4k-audio-youtube.mp4 (3840x2160) [240.0 MB] || GWfacebook-AIRS-TEC-GOES-4k-audio.mp4.hwshow [199 bytes] || ", "hits": 94 }, { "id": 13029, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/13029/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2018-08-09T00:00:00-04:00", "title": "Parker Solar Probe Pre-Launch Briefing", "description": "Hosted by Karen Fox - Heliophysics Communications Lead, NASA Goddard/NASA HQSpeakers:Scott Messer - Program Manager, NASA Programs, United Launch AllianceOmar Baez - Launch Director, NASA, Kennedy Space CenterKathy Rice - Launch Weather Officer, 45th Weather Squadron, Cape Canaveral Air Force StationThomas Zurbuchen - Associate Administrator for the Science Mission Directorate at NASANicola Fox - Parker Solar Probe Project Scientist, The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics LabAndy Dreisman - Project Manger The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab || ", "hits": 37 }, { "id": 12903, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/12903/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2018-07-25T14:00:00-04:00", "title": "Discovering the Sun’s Mysteriously Hot Atmosphere", "description": "Something mysterious is going on at the Sun. In defiance of all logic, its atmosphere gets much, much hotter the farther it stretches from the Sun’s blazing surface.Temperatures in the corona — the tenuous, outermost layer of the solar atmosphere — spike upwards of 2 million degrees Fahrenheit, while just 1,000 miles below, the underlying surface simmers at a balmy 10,000 F. How the Sun manages this feat remains one of the greatest unanswered questions in astrophysics; scientists call it the coronal heating problem. A new, landmark mission, NASA’s Parker Solar Probe — scheduled to launch no earlier than Aug. 11, 2018 — will fly through the corona itself, seeking clues to its behavior and offering the chance for scientists to solve this mystery.From Earth, as we see it in visible light, the Sun’s appearance — quiet, unchanging — belies the life and drama of our nearest star. Its turbulent surface is rocked by eruptions and intense bursts of radiation, which hurl solar material at incredible speeds to every corner of the solar system. This solar activity can trigger space weather events that have the potential to disrupt radio communications, harm satellites and astronauts, and at their most severe, interfere with power grids.Above the surface, the corona extends for millions of miles and roils with plasma, gases superheated so much that they separate into an electric flow of ions and free electrons. Eventually, it continues outward as the solar wind, a supersonic stream of plasma permeating the entire solar system. And so, it is that humans live well within the extended atmosphere of our Sun. To fully understand the corona and all its secrets is to understand not only the star that powers life on Earth, but also, the very space around us.Read more on NASA.gov. || ", "hits": 254 }, { "id": 13011, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/13011/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2018-07-25T00:00:00-04:00", "title": "Sounds of the Sun", "description": "An illustration of a sunspot inspired by imagery from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). || sunspot.gif (1280x720) [1.5 MB] || sunspot_searchweb.png (320x180) [95.7 KB] || ", "hits": 271 }, { "id": 13003, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/13003/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2018-07-20T12:30:00-04:00", "title": "Parker Solar Probe Science Briefing - Visual Resources", "description": "July 20, 2018 - Live from NASA Kennedy - 1:00 p.m. ESTHosted by Karen Fox - Heliophysics Communications Lead, NASA Goddard/NASA HQSpeakers:Nicola Fox - Parker Solar Probe Project Scientist, The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics LabAlex Young - Solar Scientist from NASA GoddardThomas Zurbuchen - Associate Administrator for the Science Mission Directorate at NASABetsy Congdon - Thermal Protection System Engineer at The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab || ", "hits": 55 }, { "id": 30970, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/30970/", "result_type": "Hyperwall Visual", "release_date": "2018-06-25T10:00:00-04:00", "title": "Kepler Supernova Remnant", "description": "This animation shows the remnant of Kepler's Supernova, shown first in infrared, then visible, then low energy X-ray, then high-energy X-ray emission and finally in combination. || STScI-H-KeplerSNR_1x-1920x1080.00001_print.jpg (1024x576) [18.4 KB] || STScI-H-KeplerSNR_1x-1920x1080.00001_searchweb.png (320x180) [15.9 KB] || STScI-H-KeplerSNR_1x-1920x1080.00001_thm.png (80x40) [2.1 KB] || STScI-H-KeplerSNR_1x-1280x720.mp4 (1280x720) [1.8 MB] || STScI-H-KeplerSNR_1x-1920x1080.mp4 (1920x1080) [3.1 MB] || 1920x1080_16x9_30p (1920x1080) [0 Item(s)] || STScI-H-KeplerSNR_1x-1920x1080.webm (1920x1080) [6.4 MB] || STScI-H-KeplerSNR_1x-640x360.mp4 (640x360) [708.9 KB] || STScI-H-KeplerSNR_1x-3840x2160.mp4 (3840x2160) [3.8 MB] || STScI-H-KeplerSNR_1x-H265-3840x2160.mp4 (3840x2160) [2.2 MB] || 3840x2160_16x9_30p (3840x2160) [0 Item(s)] || ", "hits": 122 }, { "id": 12960, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/12960/", "result_type": "Infographic", "release_date": "2018-05-31T19:00:00-04:00", "title": "Ionosphere Graphics", "description": "Stretching from roughly 50 to 400 miles above Earth’s surface, the ionosphere is an electrified layer of the upper atmosphere, generated by extreme ultraviolet radiation from the Sun. It’s neither fully Earth nor space, and instead, reacts to both terrestrial weather below and solar energy streaming in from above, forming a complex space weather system of its own. The particles of the ionosphere carry electrical charge that can disrupt communications signals, cause satellites in low-Earth orbit to become electrically charged, and, in extreme cases, cause power outages on the ground. Positioned on the edge of space and intermingled with the neutral atmosphere, the ionosphere’s response to conditions on Earth and in space is difficult to pin down. || ", "hits": 428 } ] }
