science.nasa.govAstronomers Catch Unprecedented Features at Brink of Active Black Hole - NASA ScienceInternational teams of astronomers monitoring a supermassive black hole in the heart of a distant galaxy have detected features never seen before using data from NASA missions and other facilities. The features include the launch of a plasma jet moving at nearly one-third the speed of light and unusual, rapid X-ray fluctuations likely arising from […]

science.nasa.govNASA’s Swift Reaches 20th Anniversary in Improved Pointing Mode - NASA ScienceAfter two decades in space, NASA’s Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory is performing better than ever thanks to a new operational strategy implemented earlier this year. The spacecraft has made great scientific strides in the years since scientists dreamed up a new way to explore gamma-ray bursts, the most powerful explosions in the universe. “The idea […]

NASA’s Swift Temporarily Suspends Science Operations https://science.nasa.gov/missions/swift/nasas-swift-temporarily-suspends-science-operations/ #NASA #GoddardSpaceFlightCenter #NeilGehrelsSwiftObservatory

science.nasa.govNASA’s Swift Temporarily Suspends Science OperationsOn March 15, NASA’s Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory entered into safe mode, temporarily suspending science operations due to degrading performance from one of its three gyroscopes (gyros), which are used to point the observatory for making observations. The rest of the spacecraft remains in good health. Swift is designed to successfully operate without one of […]
