Playing Cosmic Billiards (Or, How to Change a Spacecraft’s Speed and Direction)
One of the first things taught in geometry is that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line.
Voyagers Discover Evidence of the Heliopause
Nearly 15 years after they left home, the Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft have discovered the first direct evidence of the long-sought-after heliopause — the boundary that separates Earth’s solar system from interstellar space. “This discovery is an exciting indication that still more discoveries and surprises lie ahead for the Voyagers as they continue their […]
NASA’s Hubble Captures R Aquarii – A Nearby Exploding Star
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has peered into the inner core of the nearby so-called “symbiotic star,” R Aquarii, to reveal dramatic new details of the exploding star. The observations were made with the European Space Agency’s Faint Object Camera. One of the closest stars known to undergo violent eruptions that spew out huge quantities of […]
Triton Moon Regenerating Surface
Triton, the large frozen moon of Neptune, has surface that apparently undergoes regeneration as do Jupiter’s moons Europa and Io, Voyager 2 scientists said. In paper prepared for presentation before the 1989 Fall Meeting of the American Geophysical Union in San Francisco, Dec. 4, scientists who analyzed Photopolarimeter (PPS) instrument data discussed three of Neptune’s […]
Voyager’s Science Papers Presented at American Geophysical Union
Science papers and poster presentations on Voyager’s encounter with Neptune were scheduled Dec. 4-5, the first two days of the 5-day 1989 Fall Meeting of the American Geophysical Union at San Francisco. Members of the Voyager science teams from various institutions in addition to NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, have been analyzing Voyager 2 data since […]
Voyager 2 Detects Intense Radio Emissions
NASA’s Voyager 2 spacecraft has detected intense radio emissions from Neptune, indicating that the planet has magnetic field. The discovery, made by Voyager 2’s planetary radio astronomy instrument team at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., greatly increases the likelihood that the spacecraft will discover wide range of interesting phenomena related to magnetic field, such […]
Voyager 2 Enters Final Planetary Encounter
NASA’s Voyager 2 spacecraft today entered the observatory phase of its flyby of Neptune, signaling the beginning of its final planetary encounter after nearly 12 years of exploring the outer solar system. Voyager mission controllers at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., will now be tracking the spacecraft around the clock as Voyager begins […]
Voyager Celebrates Its 10th Anniversary
With one of its two spacecraft en route to distant Neptune and the other exploring the outer solar system, the Voyager Mission celebrates its 10th anniversary of launch on Aug. 20. Voyagers 1 and 2, launched by NASA in August and September 1977, have logged billions of miles over the past decade executing flybys of […]
