  55. <p>This NASA/ESA <a href="https://science.nasa.gov/mission/hubble/" rel="noopener">Hubble Space Telescope</a> image features the dwarf galaxy IC 776. This swirling collection of new and old stars is located in the constellation Virgo, in the Virgo galaxy cluster, 100 million light-years from Earth. Although IC 776 is a dwarf galaxy, it’s also classified as a SAB-type or ‘weakly barred’ spiral. This highly detailed Hubble view demonstrates that complexity. IC 776 has a ragged, disturbed disc that appears to spiral around the core with arcs of star-forming regions.</p>
  56. <p>The image is from an observation program dedicated to the study of dwarf galaxies in the Virgo cluster that is searching for the visible light emissions from sources of X-rays in these galaxies. X-rays are often emitted by accretion discs, where material that is drawn into a compact object by gravity crashes together and forms a hot, glowing disc. The compact object can be a white dwarf or neutron star in a binary pair that is stealing material from its companion star, or it can be the supermassive black hole at the heart of a galaxy devouring material around it. Dwarf galaxies like IC 776, traveling through the Virgo cluster, experience pressure from intergalactic gas that is similar to the pressure you feel from air hitting your face when you ride a bicycle. This intergalactic gas pressure can both stimulate star formation and feed the central black hole in a galaxy. As more material swirls down toward the black hole, it creates an energetic accretion disc, hot enough to emit X-rays.</p>
  57. <p>While Hubble is not able to see X-rays, it can coordinate with X-ray telescopes such as NASA’s <a href="https://science.nasa.gov/mission/chandra/" rel="noopener">Chandra X-Ray Observatory</a>, revealing the sources of this radiation in high resolution using visible light. Dwarf galaxies are very important to our understanding of cosmology and the evolution of galaxies. As with many areas of astronomy, the ability to examine these galaxies across the electromagnetic spectrum is critical to their study.</p>

  639. <p>Before a <a href="https://science.nasa.gov/solar-system/skywatching/april-8-total-solar-eclipse-through-the-eyes-of-nasa/" rel="noopener">total solar eclipse crossed North America</a> on April 8, 2024, scientists at Predictive Science Inc. of San Diego <a href="https://science.nasa.gov/solar-system/skywatching/scientists-use-nasa-data-to-predict-solar-corona-before-eclipse/" rel="noopener">aimed to foresee</a> what the Sun’s outer atmosphere, the corona, would look like during totality.</p>
  640. <p>The predictions help researchers understand the accuracy of their models of the Sun’s corona, which extends along its magnetic field. A solar eclipse offers a rare opportunity to view the entire corona from Earth, guiding research into how its energy can cause solar flares and coronal mass ejections, which can disrupt technology on Earth and in space.</p>
  641. <p>The researchers used the Aitken, Electra, and Pleiades supercomputers at the <a href="https://www.nas.nasa.gov/" rel="noopener">NASA Advanced Supercomputing facility</a>, located at the agency’s Ames Research Center in California’s Silicon Valley. With near-real-time data from NASA’s <a href="https://sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov/" rel="noopener">Solar Dynamics Observatory</a> and ESA’s (the European Space Agency) and NASA’s <a href="https://www.esa.int/Science_Exploration/Space_Science/Solar_Orbiter" rel="noopener">Solar Orbiter</a>, they created a dynamic model of the corona. The team’s model accurately predicted several details, including long streamers in the upper and lower left side of the image, but the streamers’ locations are slightly misaligned when <a href="https://www.predsci.com/corona/apr2024eclipse/comparison.php" rel="noopener">compared with real images</a>. This is likely because some new activity on the far side of the Sun, which affected the appearance of the corona, wasn’t yet seen and couldn’t be incorporated in the model. Once it was, the model more closely matched observational photos of the corona.</p>
  642. <p>Recognizing that the corona is inherently complex and difficult to predict during solar maximum, Cooper Downs, a research scientist at Predictive Science, said, “We’re really thrilled with this simulation. It really has a lot of scientific consequences that I think we’ll be exploring for a long time.”</p>

  736.  
  737. <p>Cells are the fundamental units of life, forming the variety of all living things on Earth as individual cells and multi-cellular organisms. To better understand how cells perform the essential functions of life, scientists have begun developing synthetic cells – non-living bits of cellular biochemistry wrapped in a membrane that mimic specific biological processes.</p>
  738.  
  739.  
  740.  
  741. <p>The development of synthetic cells could one day hold the answers to developing new ways to fight disease, supporting long-duration human spaceflight, and better understanding the origins of life on Earth.</p>
  742.  
  743.  
  744.  
  745. <p>In a paper published recently in <a href="https://pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.1021/acssynbio.3c00724" rel="noopener">ACS Synthetic Biology</a>, researchers outline the potential opportunities that synthetic cell development could unlock and what challenges lie ahead in this groundbreaking research. They also present a roadmap to inspire and guide innovation in this intriguing field.</p>
  746.  
  747.  
  748.  
  749. <p>“The potential for this field is incredible,” said Lynn Rothschild, the lead author of the paper and an astrobiologist at NASA’s Ames Research Center in California’s Silicon Valley. “It’s a privilege to have led this group in forming what we envision will be a founding document, a resource that will spur this field on.”</p>
  750.  
  751.  
  752.  
  753. <p>Synthetic cell development could have wide ranging benefits to humanity. Analyzing the intricacies that go in to building a cell could guide researchers to better understand how cells first evolved or open the door to creating new forms of life more capable of withstanding harsh environments like radiation or freezing temperatures.</p>
  754.  
  755.  
  756.  
  757. <p>These innovations could also lead to advancements in food and medical sciences – creating efficiencies in food production, detecting contaminants in manufacturing, or developing novel cellular functions that act as new therapies for chronic diseases and even synthetic organ transplantation.</p>
  758.  
  759.  
  760.  
  761. <p>Building synthetic cells could also answer some of NASA’s biggest questions about the possibility of life beyond Earth.</p>
  762.  
  763.  
  764.  
  765. <p>“The challenge of creating synthetic cells informs whether we’re alone in the universe,” said Rothschild. “We’re starting to develop the skills to not just create synthetic analogs of life as it may have happened on Earth but to consider pathways to life that could form on other planets.”</p>
  766.  
  767.  
  768.  
  769. <p>As research continues on synthetic cell development, Rothschild sees opportunities where it could expand our understanding of the complexities of natural life.</p>
  770.  
  771.  
  772.  
  773. <p>“Life is an amazing thing. We use the capabilities of cells all the time – we build houses with wood, we use leather in our shoes, we breathe oxygen. Life has amazing precision, and if you can harness it, it’s unbelievable what we could accomplish.”</p>

  992. <p><em>By Jessica Barnett</em>&nbsp;</p>
  993.  
  994.  
  995.  
  996. <p>After months of preparation and years since its last flight, the upgraded High Resolution Coronal Imager Flare mission – Hi-C Flare, for short – took to the skies for a never-before-seen view of a solar flare.</p>
  997.  
  998.  
  999.  
  1000. <p>The low-noise cameras – built at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama – are part of a suite of state-of-the-art instruments on board the Black Brant IX sounding rocket that launched April 17 from Poker Flat Research Range in Alaska. Using the new technology, investigators hoped to study the extreme energies involved with solar flares. The Hi-C Flare experiment mission was led by Marshall.</p>
  1001.  
  1002.  
  1003.  
  1004. <p>“This is a pioneering campaign,” said Sabrina Savage, principal investigator at Marshall for Hi-C Flare. “Launching sounding rockets to observe the Sun to test new technologies optimized for flare observations has not even been an option until now.”</p>
  1005.  
  1006.  
  1007.  
  1008. <p>It was the third iteration of the Hi-C instrument to take flight, but its first flight with ride along instruments, including the COOL-AID (Coronal OverLapagram – Ancillary Imaging Diagnostics), CAPRI-SUN (high-CAdence low-energy Passband x-Ray detector with Integrated full-SUN field of view), and SSAXI (Swift Solar Activity X-ray Imager). Following a month of payload integration and testing in White Sands, New Mexico, investigators completed final launch site integration at the Poker Flat Research Range in Alaska.</p>
  1009.  
  1010.  
  1011.  
  1012. <p>Each morning of the two-week launch campaign window, the team spent about five hours preparing the experiment for launch, followed by up to four hours of monitoring solar data for a flare that registers as C5-class or higher with duration longer than the rocket flight. The launch finally occurred on the penultimate day of the campaign window.</p>
  1013.  
  1014.  
  1015.  
  1016. <p>“The Sun was unusually quiet throughout the campaign despite numerous active regions,” said Savage. “Both teams were getting nervous that we would not launch, but we finally got a nice long-duration M-class flare right before the window closed.”</p>
  1017.  
  1018.  
  1019.  
  1020. <p>The Hi-C Flare mission <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/image-article/two-nasa-sounding-rockets-launch-from-alaska-during-solar-flare/">launched at 2:14 p.m. AKDT</a>, just one minute after the FOXSI-4 (Focusing Optics X-ray Solar Imager) mission led by the University of Minnesota. Once in air, sensors on the Hi-C Flare rocket pointed cameras toward the Sun and stabilized instrumentation. Then, a shutter door opened to allow the cameras to gather about five minutes of data before the door closed and the rocket fell back to Earth.</p>

  1034. <p>Investigators weren’t just testing new technology, either. They also used a new algorithm to predict the behavior of a solar flare, allowing them to launch the rocket at the ideal time.</p>
  1035.  
  1036.  
  1037.  
  1038. <p>“To catch a flare in action is really hard, because you can’t predict them,” said Genevieve Vigil, technical and camera lead for Hi-C 3 and COOL-AID at Marshall. “We had to wait around for a solar flare to start going, then launch as it’s happening. No one has tried to do that before.”</p>
  1039.  
  1040.  
  1041.  
  1042. <p>Fortunately, their method was a success.</p>
  1043.  
  1044.  
  1045.  
  1046. <p>“We are still processing the data from all four instruments, but the data from Hi-C 3 and COOL-AID already look fantastic,” said Savage.</p>
  1047.  
  1048.  
  1049.  
  1050. <p>“The COOL-AID data is the first spectrally pure image in a hot spectral line that we know of,” said Amy Winebarger, project scientist at Marshall for Hi-C Flare.</p>
  1051.  
  1052.  
  1053.  
  1054. <p>The Hi-C experiment is led by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nasa.gov/centers/marshall/home/index.html">Marshall Space Flight Center</a>&nbsp;in partnership with the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and Montana State University in Bozeman, Montana.&nbsp;Launch support is provided at Poker Flat Research Range in Alaska by NASA’s&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nasa.gov/soundingrockets">Sounding Rocket Program</a>&nbsp;at the agency’s&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nasa.gov/centers/wallops/home">Wallops Flight Facility</a>&nbsp;on Wallops Island, Virginia, which is managed by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nasa.gov/goddard">NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center</a> in&nbsp;Greenbelt, Maryland.&nbsp;NASA’s&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nasa.gov/sunearth">Heliophysics Division</a>&nbsp;manages the sounding-rocket program for the agency.</p>

  1299. <p>Earth planning date: Wednesday, May 1, 2024</p>
  1300. <p>Today’s planning was a little out of the ordinary. Not in terms of the plan itself, Curiosity’s team built an exciting plan utilizing much of its science toolkit. Today’s plan was unusual rather due to my role as APXS PUDL <em>Reverse Shadow</em> (PUDL = Payload Uplink/Downlink Lead). While I normally staff the APXS PUDL role, the person on-shift responsible for APXS downlink assessment and uplink planning, operating as a “Reverse Shadow” meant I took a backseat to another APXS team member who was completing the final phases of their training for the role. They handled their duties with great aplomb, leaving me to <a href="https://science.nasa.gov/missions/mars-science-laboratory/sols-3553-3554-10-earth-years-later/" rel="noopener">reflect</a> on my first few shifts in the same role.</p>
  1301. <p>As I’m typing this, given how long it has been since that time, I can’t shake the comedy of narrating this section of the blog in the distinct and rapid-paced tone of 1940s or 1950s radio and TV. It was around a month after landing, September 10th 2012, to be specific. I was on shift for the first time as APXS PUDL and was not expecting much in the way of workload given the notional plan. Curiosity, on the other hand, had a different idea. As event logs of the sol prior were received, the intended plan was scrapped and there was an opportunity to propose an activity. My mentor at the time encouraged my input. We were conducting operations at JPL then and walked down the hall to present our request to other members of the team before the sol’s uplink planning meetings officially kicked off (I am correcting myself here as I originally typed “days” instead of “sols” but <em>Mars time </em>meant shifts at this time occurred throughout the night in California). The proposal was accepted, and the proposed activity ultimately went according to plan. I can remember driving back to my hotel as the sun was coming up. It was then that it hit me: I had just influenced something that happened on another planet. It was a very surreal experience. What I didn’t realize then, however, was how important these data acquired on my first shift as lead APXS PUDL would be, given they now serve as a baseline from which we assess APXS performance vs. temperature over time.</p>
  1302. <p>Today’s APXS PUDL had a more typical experience. There are two APXS targets in the plan: “Emerald Peak” and “Franklin Lakes.” These targets are both on the same block (the rectangular one just slightly left and above the middle of this blog’s image), with Emerald Peak targeting the visibly altered rim near the lower portion of the block and Franklin Lakes more centrally located. MAHLI will acquire images of both of these targets, including a three-position rotational stereo set on Emerald Peak. A number of other targets were captured by ChemCam and/or Mastcam, including “Grizzly Falls,” “Liberty Cap,” “Pavilion Dome,” “Triple Divide Peak,” and “Haystack Peak.” As Curiosity is not driving in this plan, ChemCam and Mastcam are also used for targeted observations on the second sol, focusing primarily on “The Minarets” and “Pinnacle Ridge,” alongside long-distance observations of “Kukenan.” DAN observations as well as a number of environmental monitoring activities by REMS, Navcam, and Mastcam round out the two-sol plan.</p>

  1573. <p>As human populations grow, habitat loss threatens many creatures. Mapping wildlife habitat using satellites is a rapidly expanding area of ecology, and NASA satellites play a crucial role in these efforts. Tigers, jaguars, and elephants are a few of the vulnerable animals whose habitats NASA is helping track from space.</p>
  1574. <p>“Satellites observe vast areas of Earth’s surface on daily to weekly schedules,” said Keith Gaddis, ecological conservation program manager at NASA Headquarters in Washington. “That helps scientists monitor habitats that would be logistically challenging and time-consuming to survey from the ground — crucial for animals like tigers that roam large territories.”</p>
  1575. <p>Here’s how NASA and its partners help protect three of Earth’s most iconic species:</p>
  1576. <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-trouble-and-hope-for-tigers">Trouble (and Hope) for Tigers</h2>
  1577. <p>Tigers have lost at least 93% of their historical range, which once spanned Eurasia. Roughly 3,700 to 5,500 wild tigers remain, up from an estimated low of 3,200 in 2010.</p>
  1578. <p>In a recent study, researchers reviewed over 500 studies that contained data on tigers and their habitat across Asia. The team found that the area where the big cats are known to live declined 11%, from about 396,000 square miles in 2001 to about 352,000 square miles in 2020.</p>
  1579. <p>Led by the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and funded by NASA’s Ecological Conservation program, the team developed a tool that uses Google Earth Engine and NASA Earth observations to monitor changes in tiger habitat. The goal: aid conservation efforts in near-real time, using data from the <a href="https://landsat.gsfc.nasa.gov/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS)</a> and <a href="https://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) imagers</a>, and <a href="https://landsat.gsfc.nasa.gov/" rel="noopener">Landsat satellites</a>.</p>
  1580. <p>The researchers mapped large stretches of “empty forests” without recent tiger presence. Because these areas were suitable habitat and are still big enough to support tigers, they are potential landscapes for restoration, assuming there is enough food. If tigers could reach those areas, either through natural dispersal or active reintroduction, it could “increase the land base for tigers by 50%,” the scientists <a href="https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fcosc.2023.1191280/full" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported.</a></p>
  1581. <p>“There’s still a lot more room for tigers in the world than even tiger experts thought,” said lead author Eric Sanderson, formerly a senior conservation ecologist at WCS and now vice president of urban conservation at the New York Botanical Garden. “We were only able to figure that out because we brought together all of this data from NASA and integrated it with information from the field.”</p>
  1582. <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-where-the-jaguars-are">Where the Jaguars Are</h2>
  1583. <p>Jaguars once roamed from the U.S. Southwest to Argentina. But in the past century, they have lost about 50% of their range, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Like tigers, jaguars must contend with poaching and the loss of food sources. Wild jaguars number between 64,000 and 173,000 individuals, and IUCN classifies them as near-threatened.</p>
  1584. <p>In Gran Chaco, South America’s second largest woodland, jaguars and other animals live in an especially threatened ecosystem. The dry lowland forest stretches from northern Argentina into Bolivia, Paraguay, and Brazil, and has experienced <a href="https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/146731/deforestation-in-argentinas-gran-chaco" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">severe deforestation.</a></p>
  1585. <div id="" class=" hds-module hds-module-full wp-block-nasa-blocks-image-before-after">

  1588.    </div>
  1589. </p></div>
  1590. <p>Jaguars in Argentina’s Chaco may number in the hundreds. Using data on land use and infrastructure, plus Earth observations from MODIS and Landsat, NASA-funded researchers <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0006320723003580?via%3Dihub" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">mapped priority conservation areas for jaguars</a> and other important animals. About 36% of the priority areas in Argentina’s Chaco are currently “low-protection” zones, where deforestation is allowed.</p>
  1591. <p>“Managers and conservationists could use the new spatial information to see where current forest zoning is protecting key animals, and where it may need re-evaluation,” said lead author Sebastian Martinuzzi of the University of Wisconsin–Madison.</p>
  1592. <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-elephants-seek-out-forest-havens">Elephants Seek Out Forest Havens</h2>
  1593. <p>African savanna elephants now occupy an estimated 15% of their historical range, and their numbers have declined. One study surveyed about 90% of the elephants’ range and estimated that their <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27635327/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">numbers dropped by 144,000 elephants</a> from 2007 to 2014, leaving approximately 352,000 individuals. In 2021, the IUCN updated the elephants’ status to endangered.</p>
  1594. <p>A recent study used NASA satellite-derived vegetation indices and other data to study elephants in Kenya’s Maasai Mara National Reserve, and in nearby semi-protected and unprotected zones. Researchers found that, especially in the unprotected areas, the <a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s40462-023-00436-8#Sec2" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">elephants preferred dense canopy forest</a>, particularly along streams, and avoided open areas like grasslands, especially when more people are present. Human development, such as tourism lodges, is often built in such forests.</p>
  1595. <p>Prioritizing elephants’ access to forests in unprotected areas should be of utmost importance for land managers, the researchers said. Because the elephants avoided grasslands, some of those areas could be used for development or livestock — balancing need for economic development and elephant habitat.</p>
  1596. <p>The IUCN likewise classifies Asian elephants as <a href="https://www.iucnredlist.org/species/7140/45818198" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">endangered.</a> In southern Bhutan, crop depredation and wildlife approaching human settlements is escalating conflicts between people and elephants. In 2020–2021, Bhutanese scholars studying in the United States were selected to participate in the NASA Capacity Building Program’s DEVELOP program. <a href="https://develop.larc.nasa.gov/2021/spring/SouthernBhutanEcoForecastingII.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Partnering with the Bhutan Foundation, Bhutan Tiger Center, and Bhutan Ecological Society,</a> the teams used NASA Earth observations, elephant occurrence data, and other information to model current habitat suitability and map wildlife pathways between habitats, aiding strategies that reduce the risk of conflict.</p>

  1869. <p>Congrats to <a href="https://science.nasa.gov/get-involved/citizen-science/nasa-and-zooniverse-announce-partnership/" rel="noopener">NASA partner Zooniverse</a> for being named winners in the White House’s <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/ostp/news-updates/2024/03/21/white-house-office-of-science-technology-policy-announces-year-of-open-science-recognition-challenge-winners/" rel="noopener">Year of Open Science Recognition Challenge!</a></p>
  1870. <p>The White House Office of Science &#038; Technology Policy (OSTP) designated 2023 as the year of Open Science, and invited innovators to submit stories of how they’ve advanced equitable open science. OSTP and its federal partners selected five challenge project submissions as “Champions of Open Science” including Zooniverse.</p>
  1871. <p>Since 2007, Zooniverse has become the largest online open data platform for people-powered research, engaging more than 2.7 million people. NASA Citizen Science projects hosted on the Zooniverse platform include <a href="https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/marek-slipski/cloudspotting-on-mars" rel="noopener">Cloudspotting on Mars</a>, <a href="https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/erinmc/dark-energy-explorers" rel="noopener">Dark Energy Explorers</a>, <a href="https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/zooniverse/floating-forests" rel="noopener">Floating Forests</a>, <a href="https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/ucla-seti-group/are-we-alone-in-the-universe" rel="noopener">Are We Alone In the Universe?</a>, <a href="https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/ssilverberg/disk-detective" rel="noopener">Disk Detective</a>, <a href="https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/eimason/solar-active-region-spotter" rel="noopener">Solar Active Region Spotter</a>, <a href="https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/coolneighbors/backyard-worlds-cool-neighbors" rel="noopener">Backyard Worlds: Cool Neighbors</a>, <a href="https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/marckuchner/backyard-worlds-planet-9" rel="noopener">Backyard Worlds: Planet 9</a>, <a href="https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/orionnau/active-asteroids" rel="noopener">Active Asteroids</a>, <a href="https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/fulsdavid/the-daily-minor-planet" rel="noopener">Daily Minor Planet</a>, <a href="https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/sophiemu/solar-jet-hunter" rel="noopener">Solar Jet Hunter</a>, <a href="https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/ramanakumars/jovian-vortex-hunter/" rel="noopener">Jovian Vortex Hunter</a>, <a href="https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/jeyhansk/redshift-wrangler" rel="noopener">Redshift Wrangler</a>, <a href="https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/amylien/burst-chaser" rel="noopener">Burst Chaser</a> and <a href="https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/nora-dot-eisner/planet-hunters-tess" rel="noopener">Planet Hunters TESS</a>.</p>
  1872. <p>“With Zooniverse we have classified more galaxies than we ever thought possible!” said Lindsay House, scientist on the <a href="https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/erinmc/dark-energy-explorers" rel="noopener">Dark Energy Explorers</a> project.  “Zooniverse participants have been vital in helping us map the universe.” </p>
