The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), operated by NASA, is calibrating its powerful instruments to start exploring the galactic depths of the Cosmos. It’s already been about six months since the telescope’s launch, and it has already undergone the first ...
Curiosity, a robotic explorer, touched down in the Gale Crater (Mars) in August 2012 and immediately started searching the landscape for signs of life that existed in the planet’s history. Throughout that period, the rover reported a number of significant findings, such ...
Using computer simulations, scientists have now been able to reconstruct the whole 11 billion-year-old life span of a few of the biggest groupings of galaxies ever recorded. To understand how the cosmos formed, cosmological calculations are essential, but they often ...
In a recently released paper, NASA scientists and engineers share new information about the agency’s DAVINCI – Deep Atmosphere Venus Investigation of Noble gases, Chemistry, and Imaging – mission. It will land on Venus’s surface in 2031 after going down ...
Once James Webb Space Telescope reaches the super-Earth 50 light-years distant in the weeks ahead, NASA is ready for the worst. Because it revolves so closely to its Sun-like star, 55 Cancri e, the world’s crust would seem to be ...
Trojan worlds, which are co-orbiting planets, have not yet been discovered outside of our solar system. According to recent research, it’s odd considering that we see them all the time in our own backyards. It is not uncommon to see ...
Astronomers believe that there are trillions of galaxies out there in the Universe, which means that we should never be surprised when a new one is discovered. Even so, nature never ceases to amaze us. According to space.com, the Hubble ...
An astronomical phenomenon may be visible to you: The Tau Herculids are a previously unseen meteor phenomenon. North American observers may be able to get a glimpse of a fresh meteor shower on the evening of May 30 through May ...
In addition to volcanoes, new study reveals that the moon’s poles may be covered in layers of ice that may be tens or perhaps even thousands of feet tall. Before sophisticated life on Earth evolved on the planet, scientists used ...
Rivers formerly flowed crimson over the surface of Mars. All around the world, you may still see the traces of rivers, streams, as well as lakes that once existed. For unknown reasons, they all dwindled some three billion years ago. ...
