保护地球，探索宇宙，发现文明
On Nov. 20, the fifth day of the 25.5-day Artemis I mission, a camera mounted on the tip of one of Orion’s solar array wings captured this footage of the spacecraft and the Moon as it continued to grow nearer to our lunar neighbor. The spacecraft entered the lunar sphere of influence at 2:09 p.m. EST, making the Moon, instead of Earth, the main gravitational...
This composite made from ten images shows the progression of the Moon during a total lunar eclipse above the Vehicle Assembly Building, Nov. 8, 2022, at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Visible trailing the Moon in this composite is Mars. For North America, the partial eclipse began at 4:09 a.m. EST, with totality beginning at 5:16 a.m. One feature of...
11月的天空会发生什么？月食，月球和行星，以及狮子座流星雨。
On Oct. 13, 2022, NASA’s Lucy spacecraft captured this image of the Earth and the Moon from 890,000 miles (1.4 million km) away. The image was taken as part of an instrument calibration sequence as the spacecraft approached Earth for its first of three Earth gravity assists. These Earth flybys provide Lucy with the speed required to reach the Trojan asteroid...
十月份的天空会发生什么？夜晚有巨行星，火星改变方向，来自猎户座的流星。
Astronaut John W. Young, commander of the Apollo 16 lunar landing mission, leaps from the Moon’s surface as he salutes the United States flag at the Descartes landing site during the first Apollo 16 spacewalk. Astronaut Charles M. Duke Jr., lunar module pilot, took this picture on April 21, 1972. The Lunar Module Orion is on the left and beside it is t...
九月份的天空会发生什么？火星在移动，木星的最佳观测时间，以及一个在秋分点寻找方位的巧妙方法。
此处显示的是阿尔忒弥斯3号任务的13个候选着陆区域的渲染图。每个区域大约为9.3×9.3英里（15×15公里）。着陆点是这些区域内半径约为328英尺（100米）的位置。 影像来源：NASA 随着NASA准备在阿尔忒弥斯任务的带领下将宇航员送回月球，该机构已经确定了月球南极附近的13个候选着陆区。每个地区都包含多个阿尔忒弥斯3号任务的潜在着陆点，这将是阿尔忒弥斯任务中第一个将宇航员带到月球表面的任务，其中包括第一位踏上月球的女性。 “选择这些区域意味着，我们距离自阿波罗计划以来首次重返月球又迈进了一大步。”华盛顿NASA总部阿尔忒弥斯运动发展部副主任马克·基拉希奇说。“当我们这样做时，它将不同于以往的任何任务，宇航员将冒险进入人类此前未探索过的黑暗区域，并为未来的长期停留奠定基础。” NASA确定了阿尔忒弥斯3号...
A paddlewheeler makes its way up the Mississippi River as the Moon rises over New Orleans on Sunday evening, Aug. 22, 2021. The August Sturgeon Moon, which was also a rare Blue Moon, was full at 7:02 a.m. local time Sunday but the nearly full Moon still put on a show when it rose over New Orleans later that evening. New Orleans is home to the NASA Michoud As...
This Moon-mosaic is comprised of 1,231 images taken by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter’s (LRO) Narrow-Angle Camera (NAC) in the summer of 2018. The LRO team chose each tile from over 10,000 of the highest quality LROC NAC frames by searching for the best match of brightness and gradient (the direction and size of the brightness change across the frame...
