Stardust was the first spacecraft to return a cometary sample and extraterrestrial material from outside the orbit of the Moon to Earth.
NASA’s OSIRIS-REx is the first U.S. mission to successfully collect a sample from an asteroid. On Oct. 20, 2020, the spacecraft briefly touched down on Bennu, an asteroid more than 200 million miles (321 million kilometers) from Earth, and grabbed dust and rocks from a sample site called Nightingale.
With the Artemis program, NASA will land the first woman and next man on the Moon by 2024, using innovative technologies to explore more of the lunar surface than ever before. We will collaborate with our commercial and international partners and establish sustainable exploration by the end of the decade.
Out of this world achievements and eventS!
NASA’s latest Martian rover, Perseverance, just finished stockpiling a depot of samples in a portion of Jezero Crater called Three Forks. Part of Perseverance’s mission is to collect and deliver core samples of rocks and soil for a future analysis of ancient microbial life at the Sample Retrieval Lander (launching
Grab a lawn chair and your telescope/binoculars this weekend, a once in an Age event is making its closest approach to Earth! The spectacularly green comet, dubbed Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF), is passing within 28 million miles of Earth – about 118 times further than the distance to the Moon.
The universe is constantly growing and our knowledge of what exists within it continues to expand! As of January 2023, 5,241 planets have been confirmed in 3,916 different star systems, with the most recent coming from the James Webb Space Telescope, its first exoplanet find! However, there is so much
