Step Aboard the First Flying Car Available in the U.S. Market 

You’ve seen flying cars in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, The Jetson’s, and Harry Potter—and soon you may see them coasting over your neighborhood. In late July, Samson Sky, a commercial flying car company, announced that its Switchblade model passed Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) inspection, clearing it for flight tests. After reaching this milestone, the Switchblade is poised to be the first flying car available in the U.S. market.

Double Asteroid Redirection Test Mission Resources

 

The Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART), built and managed by the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland, is humanity’s first attempt to change the motion of an asteroid in space by intentionally crashing a spacecraft into it. DART’s target asteroid is not a threat to Earth but is the perfect testing ground to see if this method of asteroid deflection – known as the kinetic impactor technique – would be a viable way to protect our planet if an asteroid on a collision course with Earth were discovered in the future. 

DART is scheduled to impact its target asteroid Dimorphos, a satellite of the asteroid Didymos, on Monday, September 26, 2022 at 7:14 p.m. ET.

This page will be updated whenever possible. Below are resources to help you plan events and content around the impact. 

Impact Day Details

When: Monday, September 26, 2022 
Time of Impact: 7:14 p.m. ET
Live Coverage: 6:00 - 7:30 p.m. ET 

Coverage will stream live on NASA TV, NASA YouTube, NASA Facebook and NASA Twitter.

New island emerges from the sea after only 11 hours of volcanic eruptions, experts say

 

olcanic eruptions in the Pacific Ocean have created a new island in Tonga, its growth captured on satellite imagery.

 

An underwater volcano “awoke” on Saturday, Sept. 10 — just 11 hours later, a new island came out of the ocean, NASA’s Earth Observatory said in a news release on Sept. 14.

 

The volcano along Home Reef continued to gush lava, ooze gas, emit steam and erupt multiple times a day, according to daily updates from Tonga Geological Services.

 

The volcanic activity has incrementally grown the new island, satellite imagery shared on Thursday, Sept. 22, shows. The island — initially a dark shape lurking under the water — emerges as bright green, footage shows. Slightly shape-shifting day-to-day, the island continues to emit a plume of steam as it steadily grows.

Dead found under Pembrokeshire department store may date from Owain Glyndŵr’s war of independence

 

The dead bodies found under a Pembrokeshire department store may date from Owain Glyndŵr’s war of independence, archaeologists have said.

 

So far 240medieval remains have been found under the Ocky White department store in Haverfordwest town centre.

 

Site supervisor Andrew Shobbrook, from Dyfed Archaeological Trust, told the BBC that one theory was that the victims were from the last Welsh war of independence.

 

“We know that the town was besieged in 1405 by Owain Glyndŵr and they could be victims of that conflict,” he said.

 

“It’s quite a prestigious place to be buried. You have a range of people, from the wealthy to general townsfolk.”

 

In 1405 a French force sailed to Pembrokeshire to join up with Owain Glyndŵr’s forces, landing at Milford Haven. Henry IV demanded that the Welsh Marches rise up to resist the oncoming force.

 

The French attacked Haverfordwest, defeating an army there but did not manage to take the castle itself. They then moved on to Tenby, before plundering and burning Carmarthen alongside Owain Glyndŵr’s own forces.

 

The demolished department store in Haverfordwest is believed to be the site of St Saviour’s Priory, which was founded by a Dominican order of monks around 1256. But many of the bodies found there have been battle-scarred.
