Such impacts around young stars lead to planetary formation later on. Image Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech Solar systems, including ours, are thought to begin as massive clouds of dust and gas surrounding young stars; over billions of years, planets form from repeated impacts […] The new Z-2 Spacesuit being developed by NASA for missions to the Moon and Mars.

The planet’s 66-day orbit is tilted 2.5 degrees with respect to the plane of the binary star’s orbit. The orbit of the planet wobbles around the central stars over 11 years, an effect called […] SLS staging of solid rocket motors. Photo credit NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center
