For the first time in more than 30 years, you can witness a supermoon in combination with a lunar eclipse.

Watch NASA’s live stream from 8:00 p.m. until at least 11:30 p.m. EDT broadcast from Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., with a live feed from the Griffith Observatory, Los Angeles, Calif. Mitzi Adams, a NASA solar physicist at Marshall will discuss the eclipse and answer questions from Twitter. To ask a question, use #askNASA. Throughout...

I was not sure where to post this...forgive me if this is the wrong place. I know that NASA runs a 24/7 television station. I know you can watch this on the internet... I would like to have it on my television set. What satellite do you have to use to get this? Does DISH network or Direct TV offer this channel in one of their packages? I know you can pick it up on the OLD satellite systems where you point and move your satellite. But these are HUGE satellites...if I remember correct. Anyone that can help me...I thank...

Mission Timeline: Entry, Descent, and Landing The entry, descent, and landing (EDL) phase begins when the spacecraft reaches the Mars atmospheric entry interface point (3522.2 kilometers or about 2,113 miles from the center of Mars) and ends with the lander on the surface of Mars in a safe state. The rovers will arrive during the latter half of the northern winter/southern summer on Mars. Rover A will land at approximately 2:00 p.m. local time on Mars (with Earth set an hour after landing), whereas Rover B will land at around 1:15 p.m. local time on Mars (with Earth set as...

For those of you who missed the landing last night, NASA TV will do a re-broadcast of the landing and all the excitement involved in the control room, ect..."shortly." It's well worth watching.
