Albuquerque NM (SPX) May 20, 2022 New research suggests an unseen 'mirror world' of particles that interacts with our world only via gravity that might be the key to solving a major puzzle in cosmology today - the Hubble constant problem. The Hubble constant is the rate of expansion of the universe today. Predictions for this rate - from...

Pasadena CA (JPL) May 20, 2022 The past few weeks have been exciting ones for Perseverance's science team. At the "Enchanted Lake" site, we took our first look at what appear to be some of the bottommost sedimentary layers that make up the Jezero crater delta. Since then, we've re-traced our steps back towards "Three Forks" and have begun...

John Gould for NASA Aeronautics News Cleveland OH (SPX) May 20, 2022 What if we told you we could reimagine the way a jet engine works to generate the same amount of power using less fuel? Our aeronautical innovators are designing a new jet engine that, compared to current engines, will produce the same thrust and even look the same on...

Baltimore MD (SPX) May 20, 2022 Completing a nearly 30-year marathon, NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has calibrated more than 40 "milepost markers" of space and time to help scientists precisely measure the expansion rate of the universe - a quest with a plot twist. Pursuit of the universe's expansion rate began in the 1920s with measurements...
