LPL Spotlight Stories

Air Force Research Lab, Others Tap UA Space Expertise. Satellite flying through space over Earth with sun setting in the distance.
New Estimates of Mercury's Thin, Dense Crust. This image of Mercury was created using infrared, red and violet filters that capture wavelengths both visible and invisible to the human eye; the colors shown here are only slightly different from what the human eye would see. (Image credit: NASA/Johns Hopkins University APL/Carnegie Institute of Washington)
LPL Astronomers Track Tesla Roadster in Space. The Tesla Roadster and its mannequin passenger, Starman. This image was captured by cameras onboard the vehicle. (Image: SpaceX)
UA Researchers on Winning Team in Lunar Exploration Competition. LUMIO mission profile showing launch, parking, transfer, operative and end-of-life phases.
The Science of Hunting Meteroites. A sample of the Michigan meteorite recovered by citizen scientists using maps produced by UA assistant professor Vishnu Reddy’s Doppler radar technique (Photo: Vishnu Reddy)
Steep Slopes on Mars Reveal Structure of Buried Ice. At this pit on Mars, the steep slope at the northern edge (toward the top of the image) exposes a cross section of a thick sheet of underground water ice. The image is from the HiRISE camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, with an enhanced-color central swath between grayscale on each side. (Image: NASA/JPL-Caltech/UA/USGS)
UA in the Running for a New NASA Mission. The UA's Dante Lauretta: "The work done on CAESAR will ensure that the UA continues to stand at the forefront of extraterrestrial sample analysis for the next 20 years."
UA Students Participate in First Global Planetary Defense Exercise. Undergraduate students from a class co-taught by Walt Harris and Vishnu Reddy at the RAPTORS observatory at LPL (Photo: Rachel Fernandes)
Recurring Martian Streaks: Flowing Sand, Not Water? This 2011 view near the top of the southern rim of Tivat Crater comes from the HiRISE camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. It shows the inner slope of a crater on southern Mars with several of the seasonal dark streaks called "recurrent slope lineae," or RSL. A November report interprets those as granular flows, rather than darkening due to flowing water. (Image: NASA/JPL-Caltech/UA/USGS)
Earth's New Buddy Is Asteroid, Not Space Junk. A still from a simulation of asteroid 2016 HO3 in an orbit around Earth.
