Study Finds Localized Water Release in Upper Mesosphere Enables Polar Mesospheric Cloud Formation
March 15, 2021 — The rocket launch is part of a NASA and U.S. Naval Research Laboratory study showing water vapor, a common launch byproduct of space traffic, can actively cool the mesosphere and induce the formation of mesospheric clouds... MORE

NRL physicist earns 2020 AAAS Newcomb Cleveland Prize
March 2, 2021 — In 2007, a team of scientists found the first fast radio burst, then described as Lorimer Bursts, after combing through archived data from the Parkes Observatory, in New South Wales, Australia. This extremely energetic burst originated in the Small Magellanic Cloud, about 200,000 light-years away, and was at that time thought of as a one-off event... MORE

Astrophysicist’s 2004 Theory Confirmed: Why the Sun’s Composition Varies
March 2, 2021 — About 17 years ago, J. Martin Laming, an astrophysicist at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, theorized why the chemical composition of the Sun’s tenuous outermost layer differs from that lower down... MORE

NRL Supports Security for Biden’s Inauguration with Modeling Capability
February 24, 2021 — When seconds matter, speed saves lives. That’s why Adam Moses, a U.S. Naval Research Laboratory computer scientist, deployed a 3D computer-simulated modeling program called Contaminant Transport Analyst, or CT-Analyst, as part of the massive security effort behind the inauguration of President Joe Biden...
