1
00:00:00,033 --> 00:00:02,235
The next crew headed to the space station …

2
00:00:02,235 --> 00:00:04,738
Black holes on a collision course …

3
00:00:04,738 --> 00:00:07,007
And an anniversary on Mars …

4
00:00:07,007 --> 00:00:10,643
a few of the stories to tell you about – This Week at NASA!

5
00:00:11,311 --> 00:00:12,979
On Feb. 21,

6
00:00:12,979 --> 00:00:17,350
the members of NASA’s SpaceX Crew-6
mission arrived at our Kennedy

7
00:00:17,350 --> 00:00:21,221
Space Center ahead of their flight
to the International Space Station.

8
00:00:21,221 --> 00:00:26,092
The crew, including NASA astronauts
Stephen Bowen and Woody Hoburg,

9
00:00:26,092 --> 00:00:29,763
are targeted for launch
no earlier than Feb. 27

10
00:00:29,763 --> 00:00:32,665
from Kennedy’s Launch Complex 39A.

11
00:00:33,333 --> 00:00:37,237
Astronomers have used our Chandra
X-ray Observatory to track

12
00:00:37,237 --> 00:00:42,609
two pairs of supermassive black holes
in dwarf galaxies on collision courses.

13
00:00:42,609 --> 00:00:46,046
This is the first evidence
for such an impending encounter,

14
00:00:46,046 --> 00:00:49,382
and it is providing important information
about the growth

15
00:00:49,382 --> 00:00:52,085
of black holes in the early Universe.

16
00:00:52,719 --> 00:00:54,921
NASA’s Perseverance rover recently

17
00:00:54,921 --> 00:00:57,857
celebrated its second anniversary on Mars.

18
00:00:57,857 --> 00:01:03,663
Since landing in February 2021,
the rover has traveled over 9 miles,

19
00:01:03,663 --> 00:01:08,101
collected 18 samples, and taken
hundreds of thousands of images –

20
00:01:08,101 --> 00:01:13,339
all as part of the mission’s search for
signs of ancient microbial life on Mars.

21
00:01:13,873 --> 00:01:17,744
As part of our effort
to provide more resources and information

22
00:01:17,744 --> 00:01:22,148
to new audiences, we have launched
new Spanish-language webpages

23
00:01:22,148 --> 00:01:25,552
featuring NASA aeronautics
content and information.

24
00:01:25,552 --> 00:01:31,224
You can also find STEM-related educational
content on these webpages for students.

25
00:01:31,224 --> 00:01:34,894
Find out more at nasa.gov/aeroes.

26
00:01:34,894 --> 00:01:38,631
That’s nasa.gov/a-e-r-o-e-s.

27
00:01:39,232 --> 00:01:40,867
That’s what’s up this week @NASA …
