NASA's New Earth Information Center: A 60-Year Journey in Earth Monitoring.
NASA has opened a new Earth Information Center at its headquarters, showcasing how data from Earth-monitoring satellites and instruments can help address climate change, environmental challenges, and disaster management. Meanwhile, an international team of researchers has used NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope to calculate the amount of heat energy coming from the exoplanet TRAPPIST-1 c, suggesting that if there is an atmosphere around the rocky exoplanet, it is extremely thin. Additionally, a new curation facility at NASA’s Johnson Space Center will eventually house the sample material from asteroid Bennu that is being returned to Earth by NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission.
