The Future of Our Sun: Insights and Celebrations from September 2012

On September 14, 2012, we reflected on the fate of our Sun, a medium-mass star set to swell into a red giant before collapsing into a white dwarf. This date was marked by a tribute to Neil Armstrong, the iconic astronaut who passed away in 2012, and showcased recent astronomical events, including an impact on Jupiter captured by amateur astronomer George Hall. Additionally, NASA highlighted a year of progress on the Space Launch System (SLS) designed for ambitious human exploration beyond Earth, paving the way for groundbreaking discoveries in deep space.

  8. Recent Events in Science NASA's Space Launch System Celebrates a Year of Powering Forward Read all about it! http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/09/120912191754.htm ?? NASA is powering ahead toward new destinations in the solar system. This week marks one year of progress since the formation of the Space Launch System (SLS), the United States' next step in human exploration efforts. On Sept. 14, 2011, NASA announced a new capability for America's space program: a heavy-lift rocket designed to carry the Orion spacecraft and send astronauts farther into space than ever before. And now, one year later, NASA has made swift progress improving on existing hardware, testing and developing new components, and paving the way for a new launch vehicle. The SLS will make human exploration of deep space a reality and create new possibilities for scientific discovery.
