The U.S. wants to build a nuclear reactor on the Moon by 2030, but the first challenge is finding an ideal spot.

The space rock will make its closest approach—at a cosmically slight 183,000 miles from our planet—later today, according to the space agency.

The NASA spacecraft tasked with uncovering the secrets of Jupiter, king of the planets, is running out of time.

The NASA Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) mission, launched in 2015, has over 10 years of global L-band radiometry observations. The low frequency [1.4 GHz frequency or 21 cm (8 in) wavelength] measurements provide information on the state of land surfaces in all weather conditions—regardless of solar illumination.
