Katherine Johnson was a NASA mathematician, nicknamed ‘the computer’ and calculated the details of the flight path the Apollo spacecraft would take from Earth to the moon. atherine Johnson received many awards and we are honored to teach some of the fundamental theories she used to
JWST shows that in Constellation Aquarius, TRAPPIST-1b appears to have a little-to-no atmosphere. Astronomer Bernard Carr noted that this could be due to the existence of primordial black holes which predate the Big
The outer planets beyond Mars do not have solid surfaces to affect weather as on Earth. And Hubble – in its role as meteorologist – is keeping track. Jupiter’s weather is
Recently, the National Ignition Facility (NIF) at Lawrence Livermore Labs announced that it had accomplished a fusion reaction and got a “net energy gain.” NIF is a $3.5 billion laser

Stanford’s Roger Blanford is working on a model to explain the origin of biological homochirality. In this October 2022 article, Professor Blanford writes that we do not know how biological
University of Pennsylvania’s study of living physics is well known. They study theoretical and computational approaches from physics, information theory, and computer science; the goal is to understand neural circuits
This photo shows Electra, NASA’s supercomputer, which is in research; and sometimes in research with Google. It is a petascale supercomputer; petascale computers perform one quadrillion – that’s one million billion –
Insted follows NASA’s example of exploring Space Through Math. We believe math will help students in grades 7-12 understand and be interested in Mathematics. Interest in space exploration can help
