NASA telescope's planet-hunting days may be over
LOS ANGELES (AP) NASA’s planet-hunting Kepler telescope is broken, potentially jeopardizing the search for other worlds where life could exist outside our solar system. If engineers can’t find a fix, the failure could mean an end to the $600 million mission’s search, although the space agency wasn’t ready to call it quits Wednesday. The telescope has discovered scores of planets but only two so far are the best candidates for habitable planets Continue reading

NASA: Solar flare was first of most intense class observed this year
NASA says a solar flare emitted by the sun late Sunday was an “X-class” event — the most intense flares — and the first such “X” flare of the year. Peaking at 10 p.m. EDT, the flare was accompanied by another solar phenomenon known as coronal mass ejection that can send solar material out into space Continue reading

Commander: International Space Station crew plans spacewalk to fix leak
International Space Station International Space Station International Space Station International Space Station International Space Station International Space Station International Space Station STORY HIGHLIGHTS (CNN) — Two International Space Station crew members will head out Saturday morning for a spacewalk to address an ammonia leak in the orbiter’s cooling system, an emergency that forced NASA officials to work round-the-clock to hatch a plan. First detected early Thursday morning, the leak was causing ammonia to enter space — which could be seen in the form of “flakes of snow” — at a rate of 5 pounds per day, said Mike Suffredini, NASA’s space station program manager Continue reading

NASA Spacecraft Will Visit Asteroid With New Name
An asteroid that will be explored by a NASA spacecraft has a new name, thanks to a third-grade student in North Carolina. NASA’s Origins-Spectral Interpretation-Resource Identification-Security-Regolith Explorer (OSIRIS-REx) spacecraft will visit the asteroid now called Bennu, named after an important ancient Egyptian avian deity. OSIRIS-Rex is scheduled to launch in 2016, rendezvous with Bennu in 2018 and return a sample of the asteroid to Earth in 2023. Continue reading
