When thinking about space exploration in the years ahead, it doesn’t get much bigger than a groundbreaking new telescope or a future mission to the moon. NASA is preparing for both — and calling on Baylor professors to help. Dr. Benjamin Rose (a Baylor physics and astronomy professor since 2023) has spent several years helping […]
