Why are there posters about exoplanets?
The posters began as a series about exoplanets – planets orbiting other stars – to celebrate NASA’s study of them. (The NASA program that focuses on finding and studying exoplanets is managed by JPL.)
nasa uranus
How long is a year on Uranus?
One year on Uranus is the same as 84 years on Earth. That’s a long time to wait for a birthday cake. Uranus has 27 known moons. Uranus is the seventh planet from the Sun. That means Saturn and Neptune are Uranus’ neighboring planets.

What are 5 interesting facts about the Sun?
Sun Facts. The Sun is the largest object within our solar system, comprising 99.8% of the system’s mass. The Sun is located at the center of our solar system, and Earth orbits 93 million miles away from it. Though massive, the Sun still isn’t as large as other types of stars. It’s classified as a yellow dwarf star.
nasa trl
What is a TRL 3 technology?
When active research and design begin, a technology is elevated to TRL 3. Generally both analytical and laboratory studies are required at this level to see if a technology is viable and ready to proceed further through the development process.
nasa tlx
What does NASA-TLX stand for?
The NASA Task Load Index ( NASA-TLX) is a widely used, subjective, multidimensional assessment tool that rates perceived workload in order to assess a task, system, or team’s effectiveness or other aspects of performance.
nasa task load index
What are the dimensions of the NASA TLX?
The NASA TLX provides an overall score based on a weighted average of ratings the six subscales as described in the figure below: Three dimensions relate to the demands imposed on the subject (Mental, Physical and Temporal Demands) and three to the interaction of a subject with the task (Effort, Frustration, and Performance).

What is the NASA program that focuses on finding exoplanets?
(The NASA program that focuses on finding and studying exoplanets is managed by JPL.) Later, the director of JPL was on vacation at the Grand Canyon with his wife, and they saw a similarly styled poster that reminded them of the exoplanet posters.

Do sharks live inside underwater volcanoes?
Still, learning that sharks live inside of an active underwater volcano is just as exciting. Scientists estimate the summit of the sharkcano itself lies 20 meters (65 feet) below sea level. The base of the volcano connects to the seafloor in the area, which is 1.2 kilometers (.75 miles) down.

What is the North American X-15?
The North American X-15 was a hypersonic rocket-powered aircraft operated by the United States Air Force and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration as part of the X-plane series of experimental aircraft. The X-15 set speed and altitude records in the 1960s, reaching the edge of outer space…

What is NASA’s relationship with SpaceX?
Nasa has selected the private company SpaceX to be part of its commercial spaceflight operations, but the firm is also pursuing its own space exploration agenda. To enable flights to the Moon and beyond, both Nasa and SpaceX are developing new heavy lift rockets: SpaceX’s Starship and Nasa’s Space Launch System.
