Columna de agua masiva de Enceladus, anomalía desconocida
Impresión de un artista de la nave espacial Cassini volando a través de penachos que emanan del polo sur de la luna Encélado de Saturno. Estas columnas se parecen mucho a los géiseres y expulsan una mezcla de vapor de agua, granos de hielo, sales, metano y otras partículas orgánicas. Crédito: NASA/JPL-Caltech

A few of the stories to tell you about – This Week at NASA!
La tripulación de Axiom Mission 2 regresa a la Tierra
El 30 de mayo, la nave espacial SpaceX Dragon salió de la Estación Espacial Internacional y regresó a la Tierra con una tripulación de Axiom Mission 2. La tripulación de cuatro personas, encabezada por la exastronauta de la NASA Peggy Whitson, es la segunda tripulación de astronautas privada en unirse al espacio.[{» attribute=»»>International Space Station. The SpaceX Dragon returned to Earth with more than 300 pounds of cargo and data from scientific experiments conducted on the space station.
NASA held a public meeting on May 31, 2023, of its independent study team on categorizing and evaluating data of unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP).
NASA Holds Public Meeting on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena
NASA held a public meeting of its independent study team on categorizing and evaluating data of unidentified anomalous phenomena, or UAPs. Observations of events in the sky that cannot be identified as aircraft or as known natural phenomena are categorized as UAPs. The independent study team will publish a public report this summer.
An image from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope’s NIRSpec (Near-Infrared Spectrograph) shows a water vapor plume jetting from the southern pole of Saturn’s moon Enceladus, extending out more than 20 times the size of the moon itself. The inset, an image from the Cassini orbiter, emphasizes how small Enceladus appears in the Webb image compared to the water plume.

New Images of a Surprisingly Large Water Plume
The James Webb Space Telescope found a large water plume coming off of Saturn’s moon, Enceladus. New images from Webb’s Near-Infrared Spectrograph are giving scientists insights into how this emission feeds the water supply for the entire system of Saturn and its rings. Enceladus is a prime candidate in the search for life elsewhere in our solar system.

NASA Releases New Solar Eclipse Education Materials
To help learners of all ages understand how to safely observe upcoming solar eclipses, NASA has released a new set of resources for educators. The resources allow students in grades 3 through 12 and their teachers to analyze and interpret NASA mission data. The resources also help educators integrate Earth science data into their coursework.
That’s what’s up this week @NASA!
