The von Kármán Lecture Series: 2017

A brief history of exoplanet discoveries, the story of the transiting “super-Saturn” extrasolar ring system J1407b and NASA's ongoing and future plans to discover and characterize "strange new worlds."

The loss of glacial ice due to melting as our climate warms or from calving of icebergs can have large impacts on the Earth system and on society.

The Cold Atom Laboratory (CAL) is a multi-user facility for the study of ultra-cold quantum gases.

Earth science is a key to understanding our universe. Planetary science relies on ideas and technologies developed and tested here on Earth.

NASA's long-lived Saturn orbiter dives repeatedly between the planet and its rings during the final phase of its mission, from April to September 2017.

JPL missions have visited every planet in our solar system. Over the past 15 years, three rovers have explored Mars in coordination with a number of orbiters.

Nearly five years after its celebrated arrival at Mars, the Curiosity rover continues to reveal Mars as a once-habitable planet.

In 1977, NASA's twin Voyager spacecraft embarked on an incredible journey to the outer planets and beyond.

Volcanoes helped to transform the surface of the Earth, the other terrestrial planets and the Moon. The largest, most powerful eruptions are found on Jupiter’s moon, Io.

Can you tell where the ground has subsided by one inch at the center of a 160-acre field? We can, and we do it from an aircraft flying at 41,000 feet! Learn how NASA/JPL is applying radar technology to detect hazards affecting California’s critical water infrastructure.

Four years from now, NASA and JPL will once again rove the red planet with Mars 2020.
