Understanding NASA and Great Discoveries About the Solar System

NASA is an acronym for the American Aerospace Agency, an agency responsible for space exploration, research and discovery. After being founded in 1958, NASA has made many space missions, exploring the mysteries in the Solar System. Here are the NASA achievements achieved over the years.

• 7 future historic space missions of NASA
• Looking back at NASA's Mars exploration process over the past 20 years.
• NASA declares the existence of the 9th planet in our Solar System.

New Horizons is one of NASA's most ambitious projects, with the aim of exploring Pluto, one of the deepest areas in the Solar System. Above is a picture of Pluto being recorded by New Horizons in July.

Based on images from infrared cameras on New Horizons, scientists found the existence of water in the form of rocks on Pluto. This image was recorded from a distance of 108,000 km.

The surface of Pluto with mountains is recorded by New Horizons.

NASA Juno ships were launched into space to explore Jupiter in August 2011. It recorded beautiful images of Jupiter, helping NASA compare the size between Earth and Jupiter.

Juno recorded a storm on Jupiter.

Juno's mission is to explore the process of formation and development of Jupiter while observing the aurora phenomenon, measuring the amount of water and atmospheric properties on this planet.

Meanwhile, in Mars, two self-driving Curiosity and Opportunity vehicles are still exploring this planet. In the process, they constantly send images to Earth. Both of these machines have discovered evidence that life once existed on Mars. In the picture, a Curiosity fragment falls on the surface of Mars.

Curiosity collided with a fairly heavy array of meteorites, about 2 meters wide, the main component being iron. This meteorite was named by NASA as Lebanon.
