The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) has finished its first seven months of surveying by shattering all previous records for three-dimensional galaxy surveys, generating the most extensive and most comprehensive picture of the cosmos ever created. Despite this, it is ...
Space flight is well-known for being very difficult for the human body, but a recent study has demonstrated exactly how difficult it is on red blood cells in particular. Every second we are alive on this planet, our bodies generate ...
There are more discovered stars in the Universe than there are grains of sand on all the beaches from Earth. Therefore, it’s easy to conclude that our Milky Way galaxy is also loaded with stars. Astronomers estimate that there’s a ...
Scientists believe that our galaxy, the Milky Way, was created after many mergers, with smaller galaxies and clusters of stars. Some mergers were very recent, and scientists can still detect the clusters of stars orbiting the galaxy. But in time, ...
Scientists are currently trying to solve one of the mysteries of the universe. A dusty object has been discovered by NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, and no one knows what’s up with it. There is something unusual happening with a binary ...
Space debris is nothing we should take lightly. It’s a serious problem that astronomers and other scientists had been thinking to solve for many years. But there is indeed hope that the problem of space debris will go away. That ...
A recent study claims that strange geometric structures first seen on the tiny planet’s ground in 2015 are evidence of a process known as sublimation. According to a new theory, the polygonal nitrogen ice on Pluto, which was discovered throughout ...
If you’re among those who swore eternal love for heavy metal music, you should now know that it’s at least one exoplanet out there that might be even more metal than you. Being composed of iron by roughly 80 percent, ...
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 ...
A recent piece of research adds to the increasing body of evidence suggesting Venus is volcanically active – a discovery that, if confirmed, will provide light on how volcanoes affect planetary development and livability throughout the universe. The study, which concentrates on ...
Depending on the weather, the greatest partial lunar eclipse in over six centuries will illuminate the dark sky throughout the United States late Thursday night and into Friday morning. The event will last 3 hours and 28 minutes, as said ...
What is a moon eclipse that is “nearly total”? When the Sun, Earth, and Moon align, the Moon slips into Earth’s shadow, creating a lunar eclipse. During a complete moon eclipse, the entire Moon is engulfed by the umbra, the darkest component ...
Who said that delicious foods couldn’t grow in space? Thanks to NASA astronauts, it becomes possible. Fajita beef, artichokes, rehydrated tomatoes, tortilla, and Hatch chile grown on Mars represent the new menu for those onboard the International Space Station, according ...
The takeoff of NASA’s formidable Space Launch System (SLS) rocket is presently being planned for February next year. The Space Launch System, which has been stacked with Orion’s crew capsule, stands at the space center in Florida at 332 meters ...
After staying 12 days onboard the International Space Station, a Russian film crew returned safely on Earth last week. They finished filming the first feature-length drama consisting of spatially shot sequences. The 12-day voyage, which was supported by Roscosmos Space ...
Spaceships have explored most of the nooks of the solar system already, but the two clusters of asteroids flank powerfully Jupiter in its orbit will be under robotic investigation for a new zone. However, in these two swarms astronomers saw numerous ...
Under the oversight and safety of the Israeli Space Agency, a team of six – five men and one woman – have begun simulating what it will be like to live for about a month on the red planet. Underneath ...
House of The Dragon is back on track. The Game of Thrones prequel is in development, but since there were some cases on COVID-19 on the set, they decided to suspend the work. The tv show will be released in ...
A geomagnetic storm is due to strike the planet and can disrupt power and satellites. The spatial surveillance organization of the American Government has cautioned the public that a geomagnetic storm may occur instead of a solar storm. The solar wind ...
We often hear about comparisons between Mars and Earth, but the differences between the two planets go beyond the fact that one has life and the other doesn’t (or at least that’s the official status.) A recent study claims that ...
Elon Musk’s company is preparing to send four civilians into space today, making them the first four nonprofessional astronauts to leave our planet. The departure will take place in a couple of hours, and the mission’s name is Inspiration4. Behind ...
Bennu is one of those asteroids that astronomers must always keep an eye on. Measuring 262.5 meters in its radius, the asteroid is far from being a “global killer” from the Armageddon movie released in 1998. But still, you would ...
Have you ever wished to hold the whole world in your own pocket? Luckily for you, this is now possible. The most extensive and most accurate virtual world ever developed is not available. The simulation was named Uchuu, which translates ...
The staff from Russia’s ISS module observed smoke and the burnt plastic smell when smoke detectors began to ring. The event took happened at 01:55 GMT in the Zvezda module on Thursday at Roscosmos Space Agency, where the batteries of this ...
The team behind NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover has recently announced that it managed to successfully acquire its first Martian rock. The announcement was accompanied by a September 1 image of the long, uneven, dusty Martian rock within its sample tube. ...
