A Teachable Moment You Can See! The Transit of Mercury

 

A Teachable Moment You Can See! The Transit of Mercury Monday, May 9 marks the first transit of Mercury since 2006. The movement of Mercury across the sun's disk, as seen from Earth, provides an opportunity for educators of all kinds to engage students in authentic, real-world problems that address Next Generation Science and Common Core Math Standards. In our latest Teachable Moment, JPL education specialist Lyle Tavernier explains the history of transit observations and shows how scientists use transits today to understand the properties of planets in our own solar system and beyond. Find out how to safely watch the transit in person and online and discover lessons and resources to engage students in this exciting and rare cosmic event.

JPL News - Day in Review

 

DAY IN REVIEW NASA to Announce Latest Kepler Discoveries During Media Teleconference NASA will host a news teleconference at 10 a.m. PDT (1 p.m. EDT) Tuesday, May 10 to announce the latest discoveries made by its planet-hunting mission, the Kepler Space Telescope. The briefing participants are: • Paul Hertz, Astrophysics Division director at NASA Headquarters in Washington • Timothy Morton, associate research scholar at Princeton University in New Jersey • Natalie Batalha, Kepler mission scientist at NASA's Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California • Charlie Sobeck, Kepler/K2 mission manager at Ames The teleconference audio and visuals will be streamed live at: http://www.nasa.gov/newsaudio When Kepler was launched in March 2009, scientists did not know how common planets were outside our solar system. Thanks to Kepler's treasure trove of discoveries, astronomers now believe there may be at least one planet orbiting every star in the sky. Kepler completed its prime mission in 2012, and collected data for an additional year in an extended mission. In 2014, the spacecraft began a new extended mission called K2. K2 continues the search for exoplanets while introducing new research opportunities to study young stars, supernovae and other cosmic phenomenon. Ames manages the Kepler and K2 missions for NASA's Science Mission Directorate. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, managed Kepler mission development. Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corporation operates the flight system with support from the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics at the University of Colorado in Boulder.

JPL News - Day in Review

 

DAY IN REVIEW Found: Clues about Volcanoes Under Ice on Ancient Mars Volcanoes erupted beneath an ice sheet on Mars billions of years ago, far from any ice sheet on the Red Planet today, new evidence from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter suggests. The research about these volcanoes helps show there was extensive ice on ancient Mars. It also adds information about an environment combining heat and moisture, which could have provided favorable conditions for microbial life. Sheridan Ackiss of Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana, and collaborators used the orbiter's mineral-mapping spectrometer to investigate surface composition in an oddly textured region of southern Mars called "Sisyphi Montes." The region is studded with flat-topped mountains. Other researchers previously noted these domes' similarity in shape to volcanoes on Earth that erupted underneath ice. "Rocks tell stories. Studying the rocks can show how the volcano formed or how it was changed over time," Ackiss said. "I wanted to learn what story the rocks on these volcanoes were telling." When a volcano begins erupting beneath a sheet of ice on Earth, the rapidly generated steam typically leads to explosions that punch through the ice and propel ash high into the sky. For example, the 2010 eruption of ice-covered Eyjafjallajökull in Iceland lofted ash that disrupted air travel across Europe for about a week. Characteristic minerals resulting from such subglacial volcanism on Earth include zeolites, sulfates and clays. Those are just what the new research has detected at some flat-topped mountains in the Sisyphi Montes region examined with the spacecraft's Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM), providing resolution of about 60 feet (18 meters) per pixel. "We wouldn't have been able to do this without the high resolution of CRISM," Ackiss said. The Sisyphi Montes region extends from about 55 degrees to 75 degrees south latitude. Some of the sites that have shapes and compositions consistent with volcanic eruptions beneath an ice sheet are about 1,000 miles (about 1,600 kilometers) from the current south polar ice cap of Mars. The cap now has a diameter of about 220 miles (about 350 kilometers). The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter Project has been using CRISM and five other instruments on the spacecraft to investigate Mars since 2006. The project is managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California, for the agency's Science Mission Directorate, Washington. The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland, provided and operates CRISM. Lockheed Martin Space Systems in Denver built the orbiter and supports its operations. NASA has three active orbiters and two rovers at Mars that are advancing knowledge about the Red Planet that is useful in planning future missions that will take humans there.

Teachable Moment! May the Force = mass x acceleration

 

May the Force = mass x acceleration Star Wars Day, May the Fourth, is coming and NASA/JPL Edu has a lesson that connects "Star Wars," NASA's Dawn Mission and Newton's Laws of Motion. In our latest Teachable Moment, JPL education specialist Lyle Tavernier explains the physics behind the ion-propulsion engines that drive the Dawn spacecraft. Then, he shows how to use those same laws to model additive velocity on a hypothetical, ion-propelled spacecraft in a lesson that meets Next Generation Science and Common Core Math Standards for grades 6-12.
