Using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, astronomers have discovered what is triggering repeated outbursts from a giant, unstable star. A new study , published Monday in the latest issue of The Astrophysical Journal, details the discovery of a previously hidden companion object that keeps pulling material away from the massive star every 113 days as they orbit one another. This partner is either a stellar-mass black hole, or the dense collapsed core of a massive star called a neutron star.

Mid-power (3-7 kW) Hall effect thruster systems have been identified by government and industry stakeholders as critical capabilities for satellite, defense, and exploration missions. Given the need for this capability, NASA is launching the Advanced Mid-Power Electric Rocket (AMPERE) Challenge. Award: $500,000 in total prizes. Up to two winning teams can each receive up to $250,000 in cash prizes, plus access to NASA testing and technology, across three phases.

La NASA está construyendo la Base Lunar, donde los astronautas vivirán, trabajarán y explorarán la región del Polo Sur lunar. La presencia humana permanente en la Luna allana el camino para futuras misiones tripuladas a Marte y requiere talento procedente de diversos sectores y ámbitos. Los participantes deben inscribirse en el reto a través de la plataforma NASA STEM Gateway , en inglés. El plazo de inscripción está abierto hasta el 25 de enero de 2027.
