The milestone Voyager 1 is closing in on is about distance, not time. And it’s very, very far. The Voyager 1 spacecraft, traveling for nearly 50 years, will soon cross a mile marker reached by no other human-made object тАФ one light-day away from Earth. ThatтАЩs the distance a particle of light can travel in

As autumn gives way to winter across the Arctic, the ground doesnтАЩt immediately freeze solid. Instead, soils often linger near the freezing point for days or even weeks in a phase called the zero curtain. In a new NASA-led study, researchers produced high-resolution maps of the Arctic zero curtain. Understanding the duration, intensity and extent
