NASA Green Signals Four New Astrophysics Missions to Study Hidden Secrets of Universe
FOLLOW US ON:
NASA has selected four small-scale astrophysics missions for further concept development in a new program called Pioneers to study the secrets of the universe. Through small satellites and scientific balloons, these selections enable new platforms for exploring cosmic phenomena such as galaxy evolution, exoplanets, high-energy neutrinos, and neutron star mergers, the US space agency said in a statement on Thursday. The principal investigators of these concept studies bring innovative, out-of-the-box thinking to the problem of how to do high-impact astrophysics experiments on a small budget, said Thomas H Zurbuchen, associate administrator of NASA s Science Mission Directorate.
In 2020, incredible scientific discoveries didn t stop because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
First and foremost was the phenomenal work done by scientists to study the disease and develop vaccines in record time to put the brakes on the global pandemic. It was a truly Herculean effort by literally thousands of scientists around the world.
Otherwise, while nothing can compare to the vaccine effort for impact, we discovered there could be water on the sunlit surface of the moon, potentially life on Venus, Marsquakes on Mars, and the chance that dozens of intelligent civilizations could be scattered across our Milky Way galaxy.
