NASA’s Mars rover just made its first steps on the dusty Martian ground! Perseverance performed a test drive of 21 feet (6,4 meters), and new data is now available. The rover ventured away from its landing position after landing there ...
The most catastrophic event in our planet’s history in terms of biomes was the mass extinction that followed an enormous asteroid impact. It is the same asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs. However, the disappearance of the dinosaurs let mammals ...
As new research emerges, we learn that asteroids are more than meets the eye. An intriguing discovery left scientists in awe, unveiling water and organic matter on an asteroid sample. This is the first time when organic materials have been ...
Solar particles are directly released from the Sun at high speeds during storms in its outer atmosphere. The particles are also highly charged, and if they could reach our planet’s atmosphere, they can produce severe damage. Researchers have now succeeded ...
Pollen grains from flowering plants naturally fly, often travelling hundreds of kilometres on the wind. It appears that the climate crisis has boosted that travel, kickstarting the allergy season in various areas of the world, thus making them last longer ...
There are still many mysteries that Milky Way challenges us to discover and solve. One of them includes some odd yet fascinating stellar streams, some river-like structures made up of stars. These cosmic features puzzle astronomers’ work, especially when it ...
ESA’s recent efforts of studying lunar caves prove to be more efficient than previously thought. The space agency has recently begun the third series of research exploring the subterranean lunar world more in-depth. From five initial concepts of previous Sysnova ...
Even if the Parker Solar Probe has begun its journey to the Sun recently, it has already offered a great deal of data. Thanks to one of the probe’s cameras, the Wide-field Imager for Parker Solar Probe, or WISPR, we ...
When the Perseverance rover safely landed on Mars, inside the Jezero Crater, it marked the symbolic safe landing of nearly eleven million names onboard one week ago. The names were collected during NASA’s “Send your Name to Mars” campaign, which ...
Australia just got closer to a major space goal thanks to its recent development. A team of researchers has successfully tested a new propulsion system that could allow high-speed flight and space launch sessions. The rotating detonation engine, RDE, represents ...
