Planets do not take much longer to form after stars have formed. For example, the Sun formed 4.6 billion years ago, and the Earth about 4.5 billion years ago. However, scientists now say it is not necessarily the only possibility. ...
Bennu is a 500-meter-wide asteroid that circles our solar on a path that takes it dangerously near to Earth on a regular basis. According to Icarus, NASA scientists utilized new data and complicated computer models to estimate the exact course ...
NASA is well-known for finding out useful and unique ideas in difficult moments. The American space agency is attempting something different once again: it wants to recycle human waste such as the carbon dioxide we eliminate from our lungs or ...
We all have to deal with the idea that the Universe isn’t a safe place, regardless of how much we like to believe otherwise. Of course, our planet is so full of life and opportunities, it provides food and water ...
Mars is the place of hope for many astronomers. It’s very far away for us: the average distance is roughly 54 million kilometers. But the distance is nothing for the unfathomable distances that traverse the Universe. What’s for sure is ...
The threat of the huge amount of space debris from the Earth’s orbit is becoming more and more real. A piece of such space junk that belongs to broken satellites can become extremely dangerous for a spaceship. The International Space ...
