What about these new asteroids known as ‘Planet Killers’?  Astronomers have detected three asteroids near Earth. Two of them are a potential threat as ‘planet killer’ because of their hazardous and large size, but the good part is that they ...

This new instrument is ready to fly to Europa or Enceladus. But for what exactly is this instrument? NASA scientists are trying to find new locations where life could exist. So far, it is Saturn’s moon En, celadus, and Jupiter’s ...

After more than three years, SpaceX’s massive Falcon Heavy rocket has just blown fire for the first time during a ‘static fire’ test. SpaceX’s new mission is quite ambitious, and the prelaunch trials, which included temporarily igniting a rocket’s first-stage ...

If the dinosaurs had NASA, they would still be roaming the surface of the Earth today. The speculation belongs to the American astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, and it reminds us all of how truly fragile our planet can be in ...

The International Space Station (ISS), which is operated by NASA and the ESA (European Space Agency), is once again under the spotlight. The spacecraft is forced to make various maneuvers in space in order to avoid a chunk of a ...

Astronomers might get closer to the answer to the centuries-old question: is there life on Mars? Ever since Galileo Galilei discovered our neighboring planet back in 1610, it became clear that astronomers would have a lot of work to do. ...

Halloween is just around the corner, and reality can be a lot more frightening than any horror movie. A new audio recording of a solar storm colliding with the magnetic field of our planet can definitely prove it. The recording ...

Even in 2022, astronomers still cannot fully explain what dark matter and dark energy are. The good news is, however, that they don’t stop looking for answers. It’s obvious why curiosity is high, considering that we’re talking about the ‘stuff’ ...

NASA’s next-generation James Webb Space Telescope continues to be under the spotlight after it has presented photos of Jupiter, Neptune, and much larger celestial bodies. The telescope has now found evidence of a cluster of galaxies merging around a black ...

From all the billions of trillions of stars that exist in the Universe, the M dwarfs are the most abundant type. Surely the exact number of stars is unknown, but astronomers are pretty sure that they are more prevalent than ...

Nine times, with the help of advanced parachutes, huge airbags, and jetpacks, NASA has managed to land spacecraft on the surface of Mars. Now, engineers are looking at whether or not a crash landing is the quickest way to the ...

An examination of lunar materials that were brought back from the moon by China’s Chang’e 5 mission has created a new theory regarding the volcanism that occurred on the moon in its more recent past. The lunar samples that were ...

NASA’s latest spacecraft, dubbed Lucy, will pass by Earth on its way to the distant Jupiter Trojan asteroids, passing only a few hundred miles away from us. According to NASA, some fortunate viewers may be able to see Lucy from ...

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has already proved that it has what it takes to explore space and beyond. Recent data again support the telescope’s fantastic work by revealing incredible cosmic features! Astronomers were left in awe after they ...

In a first-of-its-kind test to safeguard our planet, a spectacular asteroid collision rammed a NASA probe into a space rock. The impact proved more powerful and effective than experts had anticipated. On September 24, the Double Asteroid Redirection Test, aka ...

Researchers are now able to compute the age and rate of the Universe’s expansion with an unparalleled level of accuracy thanks to a new map of the distances of tens of thousands of galaxies. Even though the cosmos continually expands, ...

New data from the Cassini spacecraft predicts that NASA’s Dragonfly mission to Saturn’s giant moon would land on a landscape with dunes and frozen bedrock. But there’s more than meets the eye! Titan, Saturn’s biggest moon, will soon be finally ...

China launched the ASO-S satellite to research solar and space weather in what seems to be one of the most challenging space missions the country has developed. The Advanced Space-based Solar Observatory (ASO-S) satellite was launched from Jiuquan Satellite Launch ...

A fantastic image shows a million-mile-long plume emerging from the Sun, and it’s like nothing you’ve seen before. Professional astrophotographer Andrew McCarthy took the incredible picture. According to the astrophotographer, the blazing filament, also known as a coronal mass ejection ...

According to a recent study, the water underneath Saturn’s moon Enceladus may be filled in phosphorus, a key feature of life as we know it. That could solve long-standing quests about the Universe, as well. The biochemistry of life depends ...

Soon, a far-off asteroid will be intentionally hit by the NASA Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART). It sounds so ambitious that even our wildest SF dreams can’t beat that! This space mission marks humanity’s first effort to purposefully crash a ...

When you think about the possibility for life to exist elsewhere in the Solar System, the first thing that pops into the mind is likely a spacecraft searching across planets such as Mars, Uranus, or Neptune. While there are only ...

The James Webb Space Telescope is maintaining its focus on our own cosmic ‘backyard’: the Solar System. After revealing the first images of Mars, as well as detailed photos of Jupiter, the next-gen telescope has now unveiled a new photo ...

There are countless reports across the world about UFO sightings. There are plenty of mysteries and wonders out there in the world. How could a civilization of thousands of years old build something so complex and precise as the Egyptian ...

Taking a look at those distant objects in the Universe, such as galaxies and stars, is so mainstream when it comes to astronomy! Why not study the planets of our Solar System more, instead? Who knows what we can find! ...
