NASA now invites both new and existing teams to enter Phase 2 for a prize purse up to $1 million.

According to NASA's temperature record, Earth in 2021 was about 1.1 degrees Celsius warmer than the late 19th century average, the start of the industrial revolution.

The world's largest and most complex space science telescope will now begin moving its 18 primary mirror segments to align the telescope optics.

The custom-built hardware and software by Lockheed Martin and Amazon will test Alexa, Amazon's voice-based virtual assistant, to respond to the transmitted audio.

During its eighth flyby of the Sun in April, the spacecraft encountered the specific magnetic and particle conditions at around 8.1 million miles above the solar surface that told scientists it finally entered the solar atmosphere.

"This begins a new quest to unlock the secrets of some of the most energetic objects in our universe, from black holes to neutron stars," it added.

In 2018, Indian-origin Anil Menon joined SpaceX where he started its medical program and helped prepare for the company's first human flights.

"Hubble's gaze shows a small section of the nebula in both visible and invisible infrared light, capturing dazzling detail of the nebula's structure, including bright areas of glowing gas," NASA said in a statement.

Asteroids which have been hitting the Earth for billions of years are believed to be a reason behind the extinction of dinosaurs 66 million years ago.

The data suggested the presence of a shallow sedimentary layer sandwiched between lava flows beneath the planet's surface.

The spacecraft, roughly the size of a small car, will strike the smaller body at about 4 miles per second.

Both the orbiters orbit the moon in a nearly polar orbit and hence, both the spacecraft come close to each other over the Lunar poles.

In addition to the experiments flying with them aboard Dragon, the Crew-3 astronauts are also scheduled to conduct many additional experiments and technology demonstrations during their mission.

The X1-class flare caused a temporary, yet strong radio blackout across the sunlit side of Earth centred on South America, according to the US Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC), which tracks space weather events.

The new results show that the cyclones are warmer on top, with lower atmospheric densities, while they are colder at the bottom, with higher densities.
