Open Culture

To help build a culture of open science, NASA is championing a new initiative: the Open-Source Science Initiative (OSSI). OSSI is a comprehensive program of activities to enable and support moving science towards openness, including policy adjustments, supporting open-source software, and enabling cyberinfrastructure. OSSI aims to implement NASA’s Strategy for Data Management and Computing for Groundbreaking Science 2019-2024, which was developed through community input.

Baby Galaxies in the Adult Universe

NASA ID: PIA07142

This artist's conception illustrates the decline in our universe's "birth-rate" over time. When the universe was young, massive galaxies were forming regularly, like baby bees in a bustling hive. In time, the universe bore fewer and fewer "offspring," and newborn galaxies (white circles) matured into older ones more like our own Milky Way (spirals). Previously, astronomers thought that the universe had ceased to give rise to massive, young galaxies, but findings from NASA's Galaxy Evolution Explorer suggest that may not be the case. Surveying thousands of nearby galaxies with its highly sensitive ultraviolet eyes, the telescope spotted three dozen that greatly resemble youthful galaxies from billions of years ago. In this illustration, those galaxies are represented as white circles on the right, or "today" side of the timeline. The discovery not only suggests that our universe may ...more

“My journey to NASA was an interesting path for me because I never set out to work at NASA. I saw an ad online for a position at NASA Headquarters for a video librarian… and things just opened up for me here. “I have to admit that being a part of this agency really helped to not only support me in the times that I needed it the most, but it also offered me some really amazing and unique experiences. How many people get to see rocket launches? Or have ever seen a shuttle mission? Or had that direct experience of being a part of history, that transcends race, culture? To be a part of an agency that just does really amazing work that touches everybody’s lives — I’m just grateful.” NASA video librarian and researcher, Sheva Moore, Friday, Jan. 24, 2020 at NASA Headquarters in Washington.
