NASA - Physicist And Former Astronaut John Grunsfeld To Head NASA Science Directorate /p
NASA has named physicist and former astronaut John Grunsfeld as the new
associate administrator for the Science Mission Directorate at the
agency's headquarters in Washington. Grunsfeld will take the reins of
the office effective Jan. 4, 2012. He succeeds Ed Weiler, who retired
from NASA on Sept. 30.
Grunsfeld currently serves as the deputy director of the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, which manages the science program for the Hubble Space Telescope and is a partner in the forthcoming James Webb Space Telescope. His background includes research in high energy astrophysics, cosmic ray physics and in the emerging field of exoplanet studies with specific interest in future astronomical instrumentation.
A veteran of five space shuttle flights, Grunsfeld visited Hubble three times as an astronaut, performing a total of eight spacewalks to service and upgrade the observatory.
"John's understanding of the critical connection between scientific research and the human exploration of space makes him an ideal choice for this job," NASA Administrator Charles Bolden said. "I look forward to working with him to take the agency's science programs to even greater heights and make more of the ground-breaking discoveries about Earth and our universe for which NASA is known."

NASA - NASA's Kepler Announcing Newly Confirmed Planets
WASHINGTON -- NASA will host a news teleconference at 1 p.m. EST,
Tuesday, Dec. 20, announcing new discoveries by the Kepler mission.
Kepler is the first NASA mission capable of finding Earth-size planets in or near the "habitable zone," the region in a planetary system where liquid water can exist on the surface of an orbiting planet. Although additional observations will be needed to reach that milestone, Kepler is detecting planets and possible candidates with a wide range of sizes and orbital distances to help scientists better understand our place in the galaxy.
The briefing participants are:
-- Nick Gautier, Kepler project scientist, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, Calif.
-- Francois Fressin, lead author, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Mass.
-- David Charbonneau, professor of astronomy, Harvard University
-- Linda Elkins-Tanton, director of the Carnegie Institution for Science's Department of Terrestrial Magnetism in Washington

Tropical Depression 26W (Northwestern Pacific Ocean)-NASA
Twenty-sixth Depression Forms in Northwestern Pacific Ocean
The northwestern Pacific is not yet ready to call the tropical cyclone
season quits as the twenty-sixth tropical cyclone just formed about 365
miles east of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
At 1500 UTC (10 a.m. EST) on Dec. 12, Tropical Cyclone 26W formed as a depression in the South China Sea and was near 9.5 North and 112.8E. Maximum sustained winds were near 30 knots (35 mph/55 kmh), and TC26W is moving to the west near 8 knots (9 mph/14 kmh). The forecasters at the Joint Typhoon Warning Center expect Tropical Depression 26W to move west through the South China Sea, south of Vietnam over the next couple of days.

Animated infrared satellite imagery showed that the low-level center of
circulation is getting organized and consolidating. There is also
banding of thunderstorms around the center, but convection (rising air
that forms thunderstorms that make up the tropical depression) was
weaker this morning. Tropical Depression 26W is dealing with easterly
wind shear between 10 and 20 knots 12 to 23 mph / 20 to 37 kmh)which is
preventing any strengthening. In fact, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center
expects the wind shear to push the thunderstorms to the west and away
from the storm's center, leading to its dissipation over the next
several days.
