What is Dark Energy? Inside our accelerating, expanding Universe 11 min read Some 13.8 billion years ago, the universe began with a rapid expansion we call the big bang. After this initial expansion, which lasted a fraction of a second, gravity started to slow the universe down. But the cosmos wouldn’t stay… Article
Scientists Share Early Results from NASA’s Solar Eclipse Experiments
On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse swept across North America, from the western shores of Mexico, through the United States, and into northeastern Canada. For the eclipse, NASA helped fund numerous research projects and called upon citizen scientists in support of NASA’s goal to understand how our home planet is affected by the […]
Sols 4386-4388: Powers of Ten
Earth planning date: Friday, Dec. 6, 2024 We successfully arrived in our new exploration quadrangle — the Altadena quad — which is named after a town on Earth very near our own Jet Propulsion Laboratory! The names from this quad will recognize the incredible interaction between Altadena and its surrounding environs with the San Andreas […]

NASA’s Hubble Celebrates Decade of Tracking Outer Planets
Encountering Neptune in 1989, NASA’s Voyager mission completed humankind’s first close-up exploration of the four giant outer planets of our solar system. Collectively, since their launch in 1977, the twin Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 spacecraft discovered that Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune were far more complex than scientists had imagined. There was a lot […]
Sols 4384-4385: Leaving the Bishop Quad
Earth planning date: Wednesday, Dec. 4, 2024 As the Curiosity rover climbs west toward the broad saddle separating Gediz Vallis from its neighboring canyon on the slopes of Mount Sharp, the rover is also approaching the edge of its current geological quadrangle or “quad” map on Mars. The current quad, designated “Bishop,” has meant that […]
Amendment 81: D.17 XRISM General Observer Deferred to ROSES-25
When it is solicited, D.17 XRISM General Observer (GO) seeks proposals for participation in the NASA program for the conduct of space science observations using the X-ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM) and for related supporting atomic physics investigations. ROSES-2024 Amendment 81 announces that D.17 XRISM GO, which was TBD in ROSES-24, has been deferred […]
Amendment 80: D.12 Theoretical and Computational Astrophysics Networks Deferred to ROSES-25
D.12 Theoretical and Computational Astrophysics Networks (TCAN) was established in response to the New Worlds, New Horizons report of the Astro2010 Decadal Survey, with the following goals: ROSES-2024 Amendment 80 announces that D.12 TCAN, which was TBD in ROSES-24, has been deferred to ROSES-2025, so it is no longer solicited in ROSES-2024. On or about […]
