As part of its incredible efforts to establish a regular cycle of moon landings, NASA is looking for concepts for developing and demonstrating lunar landers. Therefore, the space agency is getting ready to launch Artemis missions to send people again ...
In recent months, the James Webb Space Telescope has shown to be an outstanding success for NASA. The multibillion-dollar equipment is successfully “unfolding the cosmos” by exposing cosmic light beyond the range of human vision, and the astounding findings have ...
A significant new accomplishment that was just accomplished by Chinese scientists was the discovery of the sixth new lunar mineral. The surface samples sent back by the nation’s Change 5 robotic mission allowed them to make the discovery of the ...
Our solar system’s biggest planet, Jupiter, will soon come closer to Earth than it has in the last 70 years. On September 26, when it is at opposition, the planet is at its brightest and easiest to see. Seen from ...
Comet C/2021 A1 (aka Leonard) was discovered last year in January when it was zooming at 5 AU from the Sun. Having an orbital period of over 80,000 years, Leonard also has a nucleus that measures about 1km across. In ...
New results show how many different types of samples the agency’s geologists and future scientists working on the Mars Sample Return program will have to analyze. The soil that NASA’s six-wheeled Mars rover, Perseverance, has been travelling on since arriving ...
Recent findings provide light on a hitherto unexplored area of Mars with a wet history and the potential it holds for the NASA-ESA Mars Sample Return mission. The Perseverance rover, now deep in its second scientific campaign, is drilling rock ...
NASA’s rover provides the most comprehensive image of Mars’ surface we’ve ever seen! Perseverance succeeded in scanning a great 2.5 billion pixels of Martian ground, and now more data is available. Read the full report below and explore Mars in ...
Researchers had long been amazed by lonsdaleite, meaning hexagonal diamonds. Now they may finally know the origin behind their existence: a dwarf planet colliding with a big asteroid at a time when our Solar System was only beginning to form ...
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has discovered newborn stars within the Orion Nebula, which look genuinely incredible! Even with the unaided eye, the Orion Nebula is one of the brightest star-forming areas visible in the night sky, so seeing ...
According to a recent survey of exoplanets around red dwarf stars, there’s a rise in the population of water worlds. Apparently, we may have underestimated how much wetter the Milky Way galaxy is. What’s more curious is that the newly ...
The closest solar system to ours is located about 4.3 light-years away from Earth. It’s known as Alpha Centauri, and it’s the place where at least three planets revolve around the Proxima Centauri host star. In other words, finding interstellar ...
Ingenuity strikes again with its 31st flight on Mars! This time, NASA’s helicopter takes a chance to explore some ancient Martian ground. The Perseverance rover, the little helicopter’s companion, has been investigating the remains of a long-dry river delta for ...
Chinese scientists have found a brand-new mineral called Changesite-(Y) in lunar samples returned by China’s Chang’e-5 lunar spacecraft in December 2020. The mineral resembles a diamond a lot due to its crystal clear appearance. China is, at present, the third ...
To make matter even colder than the darkest parts of space, a team of researchers has managed to chill it to within a billionth of a degree of absolute zero. The experiment, run at the University of Kyoto in Japan, ...
Once again, we must be aware of a huge asteroid that’s approaching our planet, unfortunately. 2022 RJ2 is the star of the show this time, and thankfully, we’ll get a happy ending. Asteroids can come in many sizes and shapes, ...
NASA plans to dress its astronauts in style for the Artemis III mission! As fancy as that sounds, there’s more than meets the eye. The ambitious fashion project will cost the space agency $228.5 million for some Moonwalking spacesuits that ...
LP 890-9b and LP 890-9c are the monikers of the two new “super-Earth” exoplanets that astronomers have found. As you have already guessed, both are larger than our planet. The two space bodies are orbiting the LP 890-9 star, and ...
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has captured a spooky giant space tarantula, where the biggest and hottest stars live. The Tarantula Nebula, aka 30 Doradus, is actually known as the ‘brightest star-forming place in the galaxies nearest our galaxy,’ according ...
Last Friday, September 2, China used a Long March 4C rocket to lift its Yaogan 33 (02) spy satellite into space. The supposed purpose of the launch has to do with monitoring the land, but there might be another purpose ...
New hints revealed by the European Space Agency (ESA) testify to the Red Planet’s once-watery history. The findings are genuinely intriguing. The option with the biggest promise is still Mars, our next-door cosmic neighbor, even if the quest for life ...
The Universe is not acting very friendly toward us lately, and unfortunately, we have to take into account another asteroid of imposing size that will approach our planet soon enough. 2022 RW is the ‘wiseguy’ in question, and it shall ...
Diamond rain may be falling from giant ice planets, and scientists believe that the generation of nanodiamonds on Earth might increase. Recent research on our planet shows an abundance of diamonds showering down on frigid planets like Uranus and Neptune. ...
