It’s more than six months since NASA lifted its James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) into the sky to bring back important data about the Universe. That event took place after many delays, and we’re talking about the most powerful space ...
While space agencies still have a lot of trouble figuring out how to send humans to the nearest planet, maybe landing them on an asteroid would be easier. Similar to how Bruce Willis’s character from the sci-fi Armageddon movie landed ...
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 ...
NASA hopes to send humans to the Moon once again after more than half a century. If everything goes well, that should happen thanks to the Artemis mission that will take place in 2025 or 2026. But it seems like ...
Asteroids are basically relics from the time our Solar System was born, meaning roughly 4.5 billion years ago. Some of these asteroids are big enough to be potential threats. Others have even become the moons of some planets, even though ...
The first recorded eruption of the Kavachi submarine volcano from the Solomon Islands took place almost a century ago, in 1939. Researchers recently took advantage of a period of ‘peace’ that the volcano went through and started to explore the ...
Astronomers don’t give up hope in looking for signs of alien life on Mars, even though the planet seems like a complete wasteland. But we all know that looks are often deceiving and that even microorganisms such as germs can ...
NASA informs the world about another big space rock. It’s not mandatory to be an astronomer to figure out that our planet would be very vulnerable in the face of an asteroid that surpasses ‘acceptable’ measurements. The asteroid that makes ...
Have you ever wondered what a black hole could sound like? Those huge, dark, and dominating behemoths of the Universe can be considered extremely sinister and evil. Nothing that comes nearby could possibly escape a black hole. NASA has revealed ...
Since the dawn of time, humans wanted to travel among the stars and the depths of the heavens. While technology allowed the human race to explore a very tiny part of space, astronomers might need to apply a different recipe. ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 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 ...
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 ...
Many people thought that along with the launch of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) of NASA, the good old Hubble wouldn’t be needed anymore. But it seems that once again, astronomy is surprising in every possible way. Hubble is ...
Most boys dreamed about becoming astronauts when they were little. And surely many were imagining that just as we’re going on a trip to the beach on our vacations, for instance, we could do the same in the future when ...
The James Webb Space Telescope, operated by NASA, has completed another important mirror alignment phase and has published the highest quality infrared picture yet obtained by a space telescope. The James Webb Orbit Telescope captured its first images in space ...
If you think that going to the Moon is like a walk in the park, please keep in mind that no astronaut has been there since 1972. It’s obvious that space agencies always need some fancy new toys to maneuver ...
NASA is always on the lookout for ‘possibly dangerous’ asteroids that might endanger Earth. NASA is also planning for the worst-case scenario: a collision with an asteroid. Yes, an asteroid might collide with Earth. In a surprising turn of events, ...
Judging by how long time has passed by since humanity landed on the Moon the first time, you might be tempted to believe that there’s nothing more to learn about our natural satellite. But astronomy is one of those fields ...
NASA aims to send the first astronauts to Mars by the end of the current decade. While it would be a huge achievement, we are surely asking ourselves why the space agency hasn’t reached that goal already. It’s 2022 and ...
One of NASA’s space security experts describes how the agency prepares to avoid a catastrophic tragedy. Our home planet is situated in a hazardous environment. Asteroids and comets are among the celestial bodies that are continually racing through space and ...
Jupiter is easily one of the big conundrums of our Solar System, and for good reasons. Scientists still didn’t uncover all that is to know about the formation of the gas giant. Nobody can fully explain how Jupiter evolved in ...
