- 3I/ATLASdiscovered 1 July 2025
NASA investigated 3I/ATLAS — NASA's JWST and Hubble observed the object's composition and trajectory, and NASA associate administrator Amit Kshatriya publicly assessed it as a natural comet at a November 2025 briefing.
People
NASA had as a member Wernher von Braun.
NASA had as a member Gavin Schmidt — Director of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies since 2014.
NASA had as a member David McKay — Scientist at NASA's Johnson Space Center at the time of the 1996 ALH84001 study.
NASA had as a member Slava Turyshev.
Events
NASA was used to analyse May 2024 Solar Storm (Gannon Storm).
NASA was used to analyse Carrington Event — Modern NASA-funded space-weather research uses the Carrington Event as the benchmark for estimating the probability and consequences of a future extreme geomagnetic storm.
Organisations & Programmes
NASA operated Apollo Program.
NASA is frequently compared to Seabed 2030 Project — The page contrasts Seabed 2030's ocean-floor mapping effort with NASA's orbital mapping of Mars, explaining why radar can map a planet from orbit but not the seabed through seawater.

Why Have We Mapped More of Mars Than the Ocean Floor?
Radar maps Mars from orbit in months; seawater blocks that signal entirely. Why less than a third of Earth's ocean floor is mapped in detail.
Could a Carrington Event Happen Again?
Could a Carrington Event happen again? The 1859 solar storm that shocked telegraph lines, how often storms that size recur, and the modern grid risk.
What Was the Pioneer Anomaly, and How Was It Solved?
What was the Pioneer anomaly? The unexplained 1980s-90s spacecraft deceleration, the exotic-physics theories it inspired, and its 2012 thermal solution.
What Is the Black Knight Satellite?
What the Black Knight satellite claim actually is: four separate, documented incidents from 1899 to 1998 later merged into one alien-satellite legend.
What Was Operation Paperclip?
What Operation Paperclip was: the US recruitment of over 1,600 German scientists after WWII, Wernher von Braun's SS past, and the record-whitewashing scandal.
