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
