A record annual increase in atmospheric CO 2 is reported from the Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii, with a jump of 4.7 parts per million (ppm) compared to a year earlier. [285]
DAVINCI (Deep Atmosphere Venus Investigation of Noble gases, Chemistry, and Imaging) is a planned mission for an orbiter and atmospheric probe to the planet Venus.Together with the separate VERITAS mission, which will also study Venus, it was selected by NASA on June 2, 2021 to be part of their Discovery Program.
In 1994 a new proposal was made for automated detection of asteroids, this time using newer digital detector technology. [6] The LINEAR project began operating a near-Earth object discovery facility in 1996 using a 1.0 m (39 in) aperture telescope designed for the Air Force Space Command's Ground-based Electro-Optical Deep Space Surveillance ...
NASA will crash a spacecraft into an asteroid for the first time ever as part of the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART), a planetary defense mission. NASA's latest mission will nudge an asteroid.
The new findings indicate that water evaporated and left behind brines that resemble the salty crusts of dry lakebeds on Earth. More: High resolution photos of asteroid materials revealed.
