NASA has released a short animation showing the melting process of a snowflake, the first 3D model to show this in action. The 3D model was created by Jussi Leinonen, a scientist with NASA's Jet ...

Last year NASA started releasing 3D models of its probes and spacecraft that anyone could download and use to 3D print their own space fleet. That collection now finally includes a tiny replica of the ...

Using cutting-edge theoretical models and data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, scientists have transformed astronomical observations into detailed 3D models of cosmic objects — models that ...

NASA has provided us with some truly fantastic images of the Moon over the years. We've gotten to see Earth's friendly little neighbor from just about every angle, and anyone who wants to scour images ...

Once one of the brightest stars in the night sky, the star Eta Carinae, lost its luster after the 1843 Great Eruption. NASA has now provided a three-dimensional model of the Homunculus Nebula and ...

A team of scientists has now used data from a trio of NASA satellites to develop a new model that can recreate a coronal mass ejection in 3D. Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) Share on X ...

NASA has released 21 files that can be used by 3D printers to create models of satellites, probes, planetary formations — even asteroids. The files, which come in the STL (stereolithography) format, ...
