Filipino Astronomers with their

Achievments

In March 2006, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration

(NASA) in the United States acknowledged Christoper Go, a Cebubased astronomer, for making new astronomical discovery - a red
spot on the planet Jupiter. Go discovered the red spot on the
planet using an 11-inch telescope and a CCD camera on February
28, 2006. NASA later called the new red spot "Oval BA," or the Red
Spot Jr.
On June 25, 2002, the provincial government of Cavite awarded
Edward Caro a plaque of recognition for his 42 years of service at
the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in the
United States where he helped launch the Shuttle Radar
Topography Mission or the Explorer. Caro, a native of Cavite retired
from NASA in 2001. In return, NASA during the same year
conferred Caro the Distinguished Science medal, reportedly the
highest honor it gives to its employees.
Rommel Bacabac of the Society of Divine Word crafted US National
Aeronautics and Space Administration experiments for zero-gravity
effects on bones lofted into space by Soyuz. These have spin-off
for osteoporosis and other bone diseases.
Dr. Josefino Comiso, a Filipino physicist working for NASA Goddard
Space Flight Center, has studied extensively the polar regions. He
is credited for having first discovered a recurring polynya
(semipermanent area of open water in sea ice) in the Cosmonaut
Sea, south of the Indian Ocean.
