See it! Moon sweeps past Venus
Wonderful photos of last night's moon near the sky's brightest planet, Venus.
Tonight … Moon, Venus, Mars
On Saturday evening, you'll see the moon sandwiched between very bright Venus and fainter, reddish Mars.
Mystery of sun's coronal heating
Exploding "heat bombs" might solve the mystery of why the sun's upper atmosphere, or corona, sizzles at millions of degrees - hundreds of times hotter than at the sun's surface.

RELEASE 16-116
NASA Administrator Statement on ESA's Commitment to Space Station

The following is a statement from NASA Administrator Charles Bolden on ESA's (European Space Agency's) decision to continue its operations aboard the International Space Station:

"I'm excited all the International Space Station partners have now joined us in committing to operation of this invaluable resource through at least 2024.

"The European Space Agency contributions to station are essential, and we look forward to continuing to work with ESA, the Canadian Space Agency, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, and Roscomos for extended operations, and to collaborating with other nations to push the boundaries of human exploration, and extend our reach farther into the solar system as part of the ongoing Journey to Mars."
