NASA satellite captures the rare footage of the moon eclipsing the sun



The Solar Dynamics observatory, orbits the Earth 35,00 km usually have a direct line of sight to the sun.Yesterday was the rocking day in about 101 minutes the moon got on its way. This type of astronomical event happens only a few times a year. This allows the NASA to tune the finest way to gather  the instruments and gather valuable data on the sun..In the image it has shown in different colors and different wave lengths that indicate that are indicated in the telescope. The wave of different colors are indicated in different temperatures on the layer of the sun. The uneven surface of the ellipse in indicated in the ellipse.The mountains and valleys are invisible when we backdrop  the black emptiness of the space.

NASA Budget proposal worries scientists


President Obama's proposal reduction of the budget for the NASA on the planetary  science division worries the space agency ad visor Scott  Hubbard.The proposal budget of the NASA Aeronautics and space research  for the fiscal in the year 2013 will be eliminated by $300 million from the agency planetary sciences division,a 20%cut from the $1.5 billion it received from the year 2012.The budget plan was received this week that would be preserved in funding the high profile projects like the James Webb Space Telescope and also manned the space missions.Scott Hubbard  is the member of the advisory council Science committee and also the agency former "Mars czar" has been accessing the cuts of the agency programs.The professor of the aeronautics and astronautics spoke to the Times of India about what the future holds about the exploration.of the Red planet.

NASA astronaut and Robonaut handshake in space

The Astronaut and the Robonaut hand shake each other in the space.The astronaut and robots have a united healthy handshake.Daniel Burbank is the commander of the International space station shook hands with the Robonaut.It is the first handshake between the robot and the human. NASA's $2.3 million Robotic launched abroad in the space shuttle discovery in the last February.With the use of the computer software the ground controllers enabled the robot to move the right hand the stretch the fingers.By the use of the mechanical hand Mr.Burbank Made a move up and down.For the record, it was a firm handshake,” Mr Burbank said."Very nice… nice job on the programming and all the engineering. Quite an impressive robot.”.After Handshake the robot used the word "Hello world "in the american language. NASA has 4 Robonauts and the other robots are currently in development.

Americans in Orbit John Glenn



NASA celebrated t he 50th Aniversary of John Glenn's orbital space flight. Glenn's flight made a new era.

On February 20,1962 john Glenn piloted the mercury-Atlas 6"friendship 7" spacecraft in the orbital mission of the united states.He completes the three orbit mission around the earth successfully with a maximum attitude of 162statute miles and also the orbital velocity of 17,500 miles per hour.The Glenn's "friendship 7" mercury spacecraft landed at800 miles south east of Kennedy space center in the Grand Turk Island The mission duration was an launch impact of about 4 hours ,55 minutes and 23 seconds.
Joth Glenn biography:He was born in July 18,1921 in the Cambridge at Ohio.He entered the Naval Aviation Cadet Program in the year1942 March.He was graduated in the marine corps in1943.He did his advanced training in marine Fighter Squadron 155.He also spent a year in the Marshall islands.John Glenn is one of the seven astronomers in NASA in the yaer 1959.He have got many medals regarding his success.

Rhea before Titan


craters appear well in the Icy Rhea on the hazy orb of the larger moon.Cassini is the moon spacecraft that view on the two Saturn moon. Lit terrain is on the leading hemisphere of Rhea and Titan..North on the moon is up rotated 13 degrees to the left.The limb of the Rhea is lightly exposed in this view. It was taken in green visible lights with the cassini spacecraft narrow angle camera on Dec 10, 2011.The distance was about 1.2million miles from the Titan and also at the Titan cpace craftof the angle of 109 degrees.The view occured at the diatnce of 810,000 miles and from the Rhea at the sun spacecraft with an angle of 109 degrees.The correct image scale is 8 miles per pixel on Titan and 5 miles on Rhea.

Nasa seeks more money for Space Technology program



NASA has been asked money fro its space research program for the fiscal Budget 2013.To meet the commercial goals of the agency for its future exploration.NASA also put a commercial spaceflight of program of the ground and complete the Hubble telescope$17.7 billion proposed for the budget in the year 2013.The budget requested by the NASA space technology is $699,million, $124 million, and also it is roughly increased by the last year.The main part is to develop the technology in the areas of space propulsion,robotics,space power systems, deep space communication,cryogenic fluid handling and entry,descent and handling are the long list given by the agency for developing the technology.
Charles Bolden is giving response to the interview regarding the fiscal budget 2013 at the NASA headquarters in Washington. Charles Bolden is a NASA administrator.

Supernova the oldest record




  1. The most oldest documented is the supernova.The astronomers in Chinese documented the glue star that have been remained in the sky for 8 months.the X-ray shows the interstellar gas that will be heated to millions of degrees.The infrared data from the Spitzer Space telescope, Wide Field Infrared Survey Explorer in this image it is shown in yellow and red color. The astronomers will be able to detect the cause of explosion in Type la supernova.White dwarf will clear the cavity in a very low density surrounding the system.
