�鶹��Ѱ�����

<p>The public is invited to attend a watch party at the �鶹��Ѱ����� on Sunday, Sept. 21, when NASA’s MAVEN spacecraft, designed to understand past climate change on Mars, inserts itself into orbit after a 10-month journey to the planet.</p>

<p>After spending nearly six months on the International Space Station, �鶹��Ѱ����� astronaut-alumnus Steve Swanson is slated to drift back to Earth in a Russian space capsule Sept. 10 before banging down on the steppe of Kazakhstan.</p>

<p>Two �鶹��Ѱ����� student aerospace engineering science teams have won prestigious international and national awards for the design of real-world space missions to Mars and the moon.</p>

<p>The importance of Mars exploration and how the aerospace industry partners with university researchers to advance one of Colorado’s leading economic sectors will be featured at a free program Monday, Sept. 8, in south Denver.</p>

<p>Just as diamonds with perfect symmetry may be unusually brilliant jewels, the quantum world has a symmetrical splendor of high scientific value. Confirming this exotic quantum physics theory, JILA physicists led by theorist Ana Maria Rey and experimentalist Jun Ye have observed the first direct evidence of symmetry in the magnetic properties—or nuclear “spins”—of atoms. </p>

<p>An international research effort organized by the �鶹��Ѱ����� conducted the first multiple, unmanned aircraft interception of a telltale rush of cold air preceding a thunderstorm known as a “gust front” as it rolled across the Pawnee National Grassland in northeast Colorado on Aug. 14.</p>

<p>Sierra Nevada Corporation’s (SNC) Space Systems is pleased to announce it is expanding its relationship with the �鶹��Ѱ����� through the signing of a letter of cooperation with CU-Boulder’s BioServe Space Technologies (BioServe). Through the cooperation, SNC and BioServe will jointly explore ways the <em>Dream Chaser</em>® Space Utility Vehicle (SUV) can serve as an orbital platform for scientific experiments in microgravity and space life science research.</p>

<p>Members of the Boulder Chamber, a nonprofit business support and advocacy organization, visited CU-Boulder July 29 to learn about the university’s latest advances in space science and aerospace.</p>
<p>The Aerospace Industry Insights event, held at Fiske Planetarium, brought together local, state and federal officials; CU-Boulder faculty, students and administrators; and leaders from the local business community. The purpose of the event, the first in a series sponsored by CU-Boulder and the Boulder Chamber, was to highlight for the business community CU-Boulder's research and innovation in order to foster continued partnership and economic growth.</p>

<p>Something is amiss in the universe. There appears to be an enormous deficit of ultraviolet light in the cosmic budget.</p>
<p>Observations made by the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph, a $70 million instrument designed by the �鶹��Ѱ����� and installed on the Hubble Space Telescope, have revealed that the universe is “missing” a large amount of light.</p>

<p>Deborah Jin has won the 2014 Isaac Newton Medal, the highest accolade given by the Institute of Physics. She was cited for her experimental work in laser cooling atoms. This work has led to the practical demonstration of universal laws that upderpin fundamental quantum behavior. </p>
