Robotic lunar lander was presented this week by Astrobotic, a commercial space technology firm. The 6-foot-tall spacecraft, dubbed Peregrine, will touch down on the Moon sometime in the year. Commercial Lunar Payload Services is NASA’s effort to quickly acquire lunar ...
Since the dawn of time, some people have suspected that intelligent and extraterrestrial life forms are to blame for creating many of our world’s wonders. That’s the case for the Egyptian Pyramids, for instance, as scientists today don’t have any ...
Mars might not be yet a suitable destination for humans, but it’s still safe to send some robots there. NASA’s Perseverance rover has been bringing important data from the Red Planet since 2021, and now it captures a solar eclipse ...
After arriving in the river delta on Mars around April 13, NASA’s Perseverance Rover has been making preparations ever since. In the “Three Forks” section of the Delta river, the rover started its first excursion and digging operation on April 18, ...
Experts think that Europa’s subterranean lakes of salty water might be ideal locations to hunt for indications of life outside our planet’s atmosphere. Researchers uncovered evidence for the existence of tiny ponds under the Jovian moon’s frozen surface after seeing ...
In an archaic Chinese literature, a celestial occurrence is recounted that is three centuries older than the next earliest known connection to a potential aurora. It is thought that the Bamboo Annals, as well as Zhushu Jinian from Mandarin, were ...
A little over a century ago, we were still taking measurements of the earth. We had to physically go to our Greenwich Observatory and measure from there. Then we used maps to do the same thing. And then the GPS ...
Scientists recently discovered a more slender kind of red giant star. Possibly owing to the presence of a hungry neighbor, the stars have lost a lot of weight. Discovery reported in Nature Astronomy is a crucial step in comprehending the ...
Skoltech researchers have come up with a design for a customizable Mars rover. The novel system utilizes the potential of cooperating robotics and comprises 4 2-wheeled robots that may work alone or in different constellations together. In this way, the researchers ...
Oddly enough, the Universe hasn’t been around forever. It had a beginning, and it will have an ending. Most astronomers and astrophysicists agree that the beginning was marked by the Big Bang event that occurred roughly 13.7 billion years ago. ...
All NASA haters out there must admit that the space agency has some fancy “toys” for exploring space. It proves it once again by unveiling its Psyche spacecraft that’s supposed to fly beyond Mars and all the way to a ...
An asteroid impact 4.3 billion years ago caused havoc in the moon’s mantle, explaining why one side of the moon has more craters than the other. A recent study supports this theory. Per the International Astronomical Union, the moon has ...
The core of Bernardinelli-Bernstein, the frozen core at the heart of all comets, has been shown to be upwards of 80 miles broad in a recent study. This is the biggest comet ever seen, with a diameter 50 times greater ...
Probably each and every one of us would be willing to hop into a time machine and fix some mistakes of the past. Whether we’re talking about important events in history or our own decisions, such as marrying the wrong ...
Neptune’s overall temperature dropped unexpectedly, followed by a huge increase in its south pole. As it revolves around the Sun, Neptune, like the Earth, has seasons. A Neptune season, on the other hand, lasts approximately 4 decades, while a Neptune ...
There is a stark contrast between the Moon’s aspect that we see from Earth and the one it conceals from us. The lunar mare, the pitch-black leftovers of previous lava streams, dominates the nearside. Large-scale mare characteristics are absent on ...
There are now three paying clients and a veteran NASA astronaut on board this novel expedition lasting around 10 days, which has docked at the International Space Station. #Ax1 crew welcomed by the @space_station crews as they leave Dragon and enter ...
NASA’s Hubble telescope has been diving deep into the Universe’s wonders for three decades now, and it still has a lot to prove. If you have already heard about the galaxy known as NGC 7172, it could mean that you’re ...
NASA scientists have devised a new, all-encompassing technique of transmitting communications into space. As per the new study, the idea is to transmit humanity’s unique fingerprint to anybody who could be eavesdropping on the transmission. According to the authors, this ...
Under the Martian surface, in a region known as Cerberus Fossae, researchers from the Australian National University as well as the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing found 47 hitherto undiscovered marsquakes. An investigation has put a spotlight on this ...
Astronomers have captured images of a Jupiter-type protoplanet in the making using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, which they characterize as a violent and intensive process. “Disk instability” has been a long-debated notion about how worlds like Jupiter develop. A newborn ...
Who can possibly miss the chance of seeing some of our Solar System’s planets in the sky in the dawn? We can all consider ourselves lucky if we get that chance, even if we see the space objects with the ...
To speed up the process of comparing gravitational-wave data to a massive database of patterns, researchers have devised a new quantum algorithm. Detectors such as the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Observatory in the United States as well as the Virgo gravitational wave ...
There’s an odd quirk to a tremendous shock wave going through a gas cloud left behind after a star’s catastrophic death: recent research shows that part of it is flowing in the wrong way. Authors of this study term this ...
Preparatory work at Kennedy Space Center for NASA’s new rocket and intricate plumbing system has been completed after two weeks. This is the last big test until the space agency determines that the Space Launch System is finally ready to ...
