The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) of NASA has been pretty busy lately, as it presented the first full-color images of the Universe last month. But once again, the scientists in charge of JWST are up for great achievements! According ...
It seems that Earth remains a not-so-safe place, as many of us like to believe. After the 2016 CZ31 and 2013 CU83 asteroids passed by our planet last weekend at great speed, it’s now time for another huge space rock ...
Humanity had a lot to wait for NASA to finally deploy the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) into space. There’s no wonder why, as we’re talking about the most powerful space telescope ever built. NASA launched it last Christmas after ...
The James Webb Space Telescope hopes to learn how soon after the Big Bang galaxies formed and when stars began producing the ingredients required to create planets and life. The JWST has only just begun operations, yet it is already ...
Sending the first astronauts to Mars is hard enough, as space agencies still struggle to find out exactly how to do it. But perhaps bringing rock samples from the Red Planet in order to study them up-close on Earth will ...
In recent images taken by the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers discovered an unusual occurrence taking place in a far-off galaxy. This event was not present in the same galaxy when the Hubble Space Telescope was previously used to observe it. ...
This massive neutron star was once a compact, collapsing star that shredded and ate virtually all of its stellar partner to become the highest in mass neutron star ever detected. One of several fastest-spinning neutron bright stars, its rotation rate is ...
Let’s admit it: there are a lot of conundrums about our Cosmos that astronomers struggle even today to untangle. But they might not have the correct answer when it comes to how the oldest black holes from the Universe form. ...
The Institute for Advanced Concepts at NASA is well-known for its promotion of far-fetched theories and proposals in the domains of astronomy and space exploration. The institution has been supporting a broad range of initiatives since its re-founding in 2011. ...
We often like to believe that the Universe is a pretty safe place, at least for our planet, but studying a little astronomy will change your mind fast. The asteroid belt located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter is ...
It’s not mandatory to be an astronomer to realize that it would be absurd for the Universe to have been created only for us humans. Other intelligent forms of life should be out there as well somewhere, and many believe ...
An unprecedented triple star configuration has been seen by scientists. If the odd stellar trio once had a 4th sibling until one of them swallowed it up, it might explain why they are so considerably more massive and densely pressed together ...
Thanks to the observations of the most powerful space telescope, namely James Webb, astronomers have discovered the oldest galaxy in the Universe. The system of stars is 13.5 billion years old, meaning almost the same age as the Universe itself. ...
The European Southern Observatory’s own Very Large Telescope recently identified a previously unknown form of a black hole in a nearby galaxy for the very first time. Unlike active black holes, inactive stellar-mass black holes are very difficult to detect because ...
NASA’s Mars rovers have discovered several anomalies in the Martian terrain. Curiosity took a picture of what seemed like a doorway only a few months back. A fresh photograph from the Perseverance lander is drawing attention to what seems to ...
Less than a week ago, we gladly shared the news about NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) revealing the first full-color images of the Universe’s depths. We’ve seen new images of stars, galaxies, nebulae, and more. We’re talking about the ...
SpaceX is once again sending supplies to the International Space Station (ISS). A Falcon 9 rocket of the American spacecraft manufacturer lifted cargo towards the ISS on Thursday, after a launch that took place from the Kennedy Space Center of ...
The world’s most powerful space telescope ever built, meaning NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), released its first full-color images of the distant Universe yesterday, July 12. But that wasn’t all the new stuff that JWST has in store for ...
China’s National Space Administration (CNSA) reported on June 29 that the Tianwen-1 space probe has skilfully obtained photographs of the whole Red Planet over a year of exploration. “Quest for Heavenly Truth” Tianwen-1 is composed of six different spacecraft: an ...
As we revealed back in early June, NASA unveiled today, July 12, the first photos that the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) took of the Universe. You can feast your eyes on all five images via the space agency’s official ...
The possibility of a planet-killing asteroid appearing out of nowhere, as shown in current media, is slim. Even smaller ones that might merely destroy a city or part of a continent attract enough attention to determine whether they’re a danger. ...
Scientists at MIT have resurrected a notion from the recent past to potentially mitigate the consequences of global warming. We might merely float a high-tech bubble parasol above the Earth to provide some shade while we work on reducing our dependence ...
The most detailed and precise infrared picture of our cosmos has been released by NASA. For the first time, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has taken a full-color photograph of the faraway universe. Credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, and STScI These ...
Space development in the not-too-distant future is expected to feature lengthier periods in low gravity situations, whether orbiting or on another globe. There is a problem, however, with extended stays in outer space; new study has shown that astronauts may lose ...
The speed of light (300,000km/s) is the fastest possible speed that the laws of nature can allow. Or at least that’s what Albert Einstein thought. But what if the great physicist was wrong? No disrespect intended for him, but everybody ...
