After making history on Mars (first controlled flight on another planet), NASA’s helicopter strikes again. The Perseverance rover captured an incredible low-pitched humming of Ingenuity’s blades as it flies through the Martian atmosphere. NASA released the footage with the audio ...
Mars’ volcanic activity has been quite a mystery for many decades. It puzzled scientists’ work, and it stirred one of the most intriguing theories. Are there active volcanoes on Mars? New research might be able to answer that question thanks ...
Ever wondered what does it look like inside a planet? How about Saturn’s interior? Recent work of Johns Hopkins University offers now a sneak peek inside Saturn, and things are as great as you can imagine. The intriguing glimpse of ...
New Parker data reveals quite the activity on Venus. During a short flyby at our planetary neighbour, NASA’s solar probe detected an incredible radio signal: a natural one. The event marks the first direct measurement of Venus’ atmosphere in about ...
Perovskite got a reputation for its unique properties – it is a cheap, somewhat efficient way to harvest energy from the sun. Its crystalline layout can convert over a quarter of the light falling onto it into electricity. Technically speaking, ...
China is gearing up to send the first core module for its first permanent space station. Plans for the big launch event are now in development, and we might see it happen shortly this week. Starting with an ambitious idea, ...
Asteroids are one of the most dangerous possible attackers of Earth. For decades we’ve tried to understand and learn about them. One method that proved to be efficient is using specially designed telescopes. ESA recently unveiled the Test-Bed Telescope 2 ...
COVID-19 is a very challenging threat. Not only is it extremely dangerous, but there is little scientists can do to predict how it would affect different persons and how the situation would evolve. Scientists made significant progress since the beginning ...
The Hubble Space Telescope celebrates 31 years of work with a breathtaking photo. The Universe exhibition is something that fuels our imagination and leaves us with our jaws constantly dropped. Thanks to Hubble’s fantastic work, we came across many incredible ...
Thinking at NASA’s Ingenuity helicopter and wonder if there’s something it can’t do. Apparently, not. The bold helicopter completed its third flight on April 25 and is closer to its main goal than ever. Ingenuity made history first time on ...
Ingenuity marks another successful flight on Mars! The new milestone has been reached on Thursday (April 22) morning, and NASA revealed all the details. Just days after its first success, the Mars helicopter completed another flight, this time putting on ...
Earth has now quite the sneaky neighbour, and astronomers have all the details. A tiny black hole, approximately 1,500 light-years from Earth, in the Monoceros constellation, it’s excitingly close by. As per astronomers’ calculations, we have nothing to worry about, ...
Space has sent to our planet a rare isotope of iron for the last 33,000 years. This thing is intriguing yet curious, mainly because scientists found radioactive dust underneath the ocean waves. That indicates how Earth is travelling through a ...
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 ...
A recently discovered asteroid approximately the size of a car flew harmlessly by Earth in the morning of April 12. Astronomers figured out that the asteroid, known as 2021 GW4, is approximately 14 feet (4 meters) across – too small ...
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 ...
Annually, 5,200 tons of extraterrestrial dust reaches Earth, as per new research. This delicate yet harsh rain of bits of asteroids and other cosmic features far outweighs bigger meteorites that hit our planet. Despite such an enormous amount, it’s still ...
A satellite’s mission is never over. Old satellites can continue their work thanks to robotic spacecraft such as MEV-2 (the Mission Extension Vehicle-2). Will this industry of life-extension services for dying or errant satellites work? According to Northrop Grumman, MEV-2 ...
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 ...
It may come as a surprise, but Earth and Mars have more in common than previously believed. At least, that’s what new research claims. Nordlinger Ries is a 15-million-year-old asteroid impact crater full of sediments. According to researchers, this structure ...
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 ...
Do you ever wonder how rain is on other planets from our Solar System? But how about on potentially habitable planets? According to a new study, raindrops can help us identify other planets outside our Solar System. For the new ...
The Chinese space agency (CNSA) launched a few months ago probe Tianwen-1 to Mars. The mission’s main goal is to survey the Red Planet, orbiting closer. Recent data sent by Tianwen-1 prove that the probe is also one of the ...
