spot identifying characteristics. VISAR could be used to steady images of car chases shot from inside a moving police car, enabling police to focus on a license plate number, or even on an image of the driver's face reflected in the rear-view mirror. VISAR could al...

New Hubble images of the Red Planet
to Earth than at any time since 1990. Astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope took advantage of the close encounter to capture some of the sharpest views yet of the Red Planet. NASA is releasing these images to commemorate the July 4th anniversary of the Mars Pathfinder landing, o...
Unearthing Clues to Martian Fossils
formation by groundwater sapping (i.e. when a river is fed by a spring and the valley grows by headward erosion); others seem to have been produced by precipitation runoff. The valley networks are almost completely (but not quite) restricted to ancient upper highlands, dated as 3.5 to 4.0 billion ye...
HERO will provide new view of X-ray universe
Ramsey and colleagues working in the Science and Technology Directorate at NASA/Marshall, together with Darell Engelhaupt of the University of Alabama in Huntsville, have utilized a replication method for manufacturing multiple high-quality copies of a mirror. "In these mirrors, we're ...
solar high-resolution barrier
reveal new and unexpected phenomena," Davis explained. This was true of each new solar telescope that preceded TRACE, all the way back to Galileo's discovery of sunspots in 1610. TRACE is studying the mysterious transition region where the solar atmosphere's temperature soars to millions of deg...
The Red Planet in 3D
