NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, is home to the nation’s largest organization of scientists, engineers and technologists who build spacecraft, instruments and new technology to study Earth, the sun, our solar system and the universe. NASA Goddard’s rewind is just a small sampling of the center’s highlights and memorable moments. We hope […]

Mercury is beautiful. It’s the only metal that’s a liquid at room temperature and pressure. In its liquid state the atoms have enough thermal energy to overcome the rigid metallic bonds that confine most metals to solids at room temperature. The third law of thermodynamics links temperature and entropy. Olympia Brown explores this relationship, freezing […]
