NASA uses integrated multi-satellite recoveries for GPM (IMERG) to reveal Hurricane Willa's precipitation (Updated: October 26, 2018)

NASA used its integrated recovery data Multi-satellite for GPM (IMERG) to calculate the amount of rainfall produced by Hurricane Willa in the eastern Pacific Ocean.

According to NASA, the Tropical Depression 24E was formed on October 20, 2018 and then intensified to become Tropical Storm Willa. On October 22, this Category 5 hurricane generated winds of more than 161 mph (140 knots). On October 24, Willa made landfall in Sinaloa, Mexico. At that time, its intensity had decreased until category three. Data on precipitation accumulation in IMERG showed that Willa produced total precipitation over 508 mm (20 inches) in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Mexico.

NASA tests a parachute for the Mars 2020 mission (October 26, 2018)

NASA News: NASA tested the parachute for the Mars 2020 mission. A Black Brant IX rocket 58 feet high carried the payload, which was separated from the rocket less than 2 minutes after launching the rocket. The payload then began its dive into the Earth's atmosphere. After reaching the appropriate height and Mach number, the payload deployed a parachute. In less than four tenths of a second, the 180-pound parachute became a solid, fully inflated cylinder. ASPIRE, the parachute test series of the March 2020 project, is managed by NASA's JPL, with support from NASA's Langley Research Center in Hampton, Va., And the Ames Research Center at NASA.

NASA's InSight to probe the red planet by being motionless (Update: October 24, 2018)

According to the US Space Agency, the spacecraft InSight NASA – after landing in November – will extend its solar panels, unfold a robotic arm … and stay in place. Unlike space agency rovers, InSight is a lander designed to study an entire planet from a single point

. This sedentary science allows InSight to detect geophysical signals below the Martian surface, including earthquakes and heat. Scientists will also be able to follow the radio signals from the immobile spaceship, which vary according to the oscillation of the rotation of Mars. Understanding this flicker could help solve the mystery of whether the planet's core is solid.

NASA Juno Mission Discovers Jupiter's Wave Trains (Updated: October 23, 2018)

Mbadive moving air structures appearing as Jupiter airwaves were first detected by NASA's Voyager missions during their flight over the giant gas world in 1979. The JunoCam camera aboard NASA's Juno mission to Jupiter also imaged the atmosphere. JunoCam's data have detected atmospheric wave trains, very high atmospheric structures that drag one after the other as they roam the planet, most of them concentrating near the equator of Jupiter.

The JunoCam Imager solved the distances between individual wave ridges in these smaller trains than ever before. This research provides valuable insights into both the dynamics of Jupiter's atmosphere and its structure in areas beneath the waves.

NASA Spitzer Space Telescope Shows Nebula of Cat's Paw (Updated: October 23, 2018)

NASA Spitzer Space Telescope Captures Image of the cat's paw nebula, so named for its great round characteristics. that create the impression of a feline imprint. The nebula is a star-forming region in the galaxy of the Milky Way, located in the constellation Scorpio. The distance between Earth and Earth is estimated to be between 4,200 and 5,500 light-years or so.

Framed by green clouds, bright red bubbles are the dominant feature of the image, which was created from data from two Spitzer instruments. Once the gas and dust inside the nebula have collapsed to form stars, the stars can in turn heat up the pressurized gas that surrounds them, which makes it extend into space and create bubbles.
