Washington: NASA's Jupiter-bound solar-powered Juno spacecraft has successfully executed a manoeuvre to adjust its flight path, setting the stage for its rendezvous with the solar system's largest planet.
01 Feb 2016
Washington: NASA has created a video to 'see' and understand the Sun's invisible magnetic field, that may be crucial for future deep space travel, by combining real time observations and computer simulations to analyse how plasma courses through its corona.

Washington: NASA has released an image of a relatively fresh landslide on Mars that shows boulder-covered landslip along a canyon wall.
23 Dec 2015
Washington: NASA has called off its next Mars mission because of a leak in a science instrument.
14 Dec 2015
Washington: NASA has released an enhanced color mosaic that combines some of the sharpest views of Pluto which the US space agency's New Horizons spacecraft obtained during its historic flyby of the icy-dwarf planet.

Washington: India, China and the Middle East, with their fast-growing economies and expanding industry, have seen growing air pollution, according to NASA scientists who tracked the trends over the last decade in various regions and 195 cities around the globe.
03 Jan 2015
Washington: NASA has called for designs of an airship that can fly at altitudes higher than the current 65,000-foot limit for weather balloons and for longer than the existing ones.

Washington: An increase in Antarctic snow accumulation that began 10,000 years ago is currently adding enough ice to the continent to outweigh the increased losses from its thinning glaciers. Areas of the continent like the Antarctic peninsula have increased their mass loss in the last decades, says a new NASA study.
