LPL has begun building EMILIA-3D, one of three science investigation payloads selected by NASA earlier this year to be delivered to the moon by a future Commercial Lunar Payload Services, or CLPS, lander.
LPL graduate student Naman Bajaj dug into archival data from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope to better understand how vast amounts of gas vanished from our solar system disk and others like it.

LPL researchers watched the August 30, 2026 launch of the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope anticipating the start of science activities, slated to begin in January 2027.
Seven months after launch, Pandora has officially begun its mission: to catch never-before-seen-glimpses of worlds beyond our solar system and the stars they orbit. Now the work of Professor Daniel Apai and his science team is kicking into high gear.
