Telescopes mounted on the surface of the Earth, or those that orbit around our planet don’t represent anything new, but as always, NASA wants to defy all odds. Telescopes mounted on the Moon may have been something you see only ...
Many astronomers worry that it’s only a matter of time until another devastating asteroid will smash into Earth, as it happened roughly 66 million years ago when the dinosaurs went extinct. Hopefully or not, most of us won’t be around ...
Venus’ extreme environment where no living creature from Earth would survive has captured the attention of astronomers for a long time. Even so, Venus is known as ‘”Earth’s twin” because of the fact that both planets have similar sizes and ...
NASA’s Juno enrolled in what seemed to be one of the most daring space missions: exploring Ganymede. Massive, heavily cratered, and grey, Jupiter’s largest moon unfolded in front of Juno’s eyes, unveiling a shocking aspect. How did Juno succeed to ...
NASA’s new mission will finally take us closer to Jupiter’s moon Ganymede. Today (June 7), spacecraft Juno will reach within 1,038 kilometres (645 miles) of Ganymede’s surface. Juno will be the first mission to provide a close encounter with Jupiter’s ...
Seven asteroids are coming close to our planet this week, and one of them is the size of a skyscraper. The ‘wiseguy’ is named 2021 KT1, and it measures about 600 feet across. Furthermore, some scientists even believe that the ...
NASA made history on April 19 with the first controlled flight on another planet. The little helicopter has bravely pierced the Martian atmosphere in what seemed to be one of the most challenging missions on Mars. And it didn’t stop ...

It’s a success! NASA’s Mars helicopter took its first flight, and we have proof. The Perseverance rover, which carried Ingenuity, captured the whole event in an incredible video. The historic flight on our planetary neighbour tool place at 3:34 AM ...
The first complete look of Venus’ dust ring is now available thanks to the Parker Solar Probe. The images show our planetary neighbour’s dust ring for almost its entire 360-degree span around the Sun. Venus’ orbital dust ring is an ...
Interstellar space is one of the most intriguing subjects for astronomers. We still know little about what lies there or beyond it. However, bits of interstellar space reached our Solar System. With that in mind, NASA decided to develop a ...
Sad news about the InSight Mars lander! NASA just announced that the lander is now in an energy crisis. InSight detected so far over 500 marsquakes and 10,000 dust devils on the Red Planet. The mission was ambitious, and it ...
The Mars copter has just got postponed after a possible tech issue. NASA decided to delay Ingenuity’s first flight after it tested its rotors. The mini helicopter’s trip will be the first-ever controlled, powered flight on another planet if everything ...
Lucy is the upcoming mission NASA is going to unfold in space soon! The spacecraft will enrol in the 13th mission of the space agency’s Discovery Program that aims to operate closer to the Sun. Recently, Lucy has completed the ...
NASA’s bold helicopter has been finally dropped on the Martian ground. This manoeuvre was essential as the mini-helicopter gets ready for its first flight. Ingenuity is an ultra-light aircraft initially attached to the Perseverance rover’s belly, which arrived on Mars ...
