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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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. ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 OSIRIS-REx spacecraft was designed to go to the asteroid Bennu, where it was to make a short landing on the body’s presumed rocky surface, gather a tiny sample, and then return to Earth. However, the mission was aborted due ...
All the astronomers and those passionate about the wonders of the Cosmos are impatiently waiting for NASA’s next-generation James Webb Space Telescope to reveal the first full-color photos of the Universe in just a few days. That event is scheduled ...
We’re only a week away from the start of July 2022, and astronomy already has some exciting news for us. Comet C/2017 K2 (PANSTARRS), or you can simply call it K2, will pass by our planet and give us the ...
Many of us have seen astronauts colonizing the Red Planet in sci-fi movies without even thinking that such scenarios will ever have a chance to become a reality. Humanity is still far from that goal, but it appears to be ...
Milky Way is just one out of countless other galaxies in the Universe. But even so, astronomers can have numerous stars and planets worth exploring. Hopefully, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope will help the world study those remote worlds in ...
Who said that astronomers and scientists, in general, always have to be those grumpy guys that don’t know how to have some fun and enjoy things? NASA proves that such preconceptions are not true by launching its own video game. ...
NASA’s Perseverance rover was driving alone on Mars when it picked up a “pet rock” that got lodged in one of its wheels and decided to tag along. Aside from a small annoyance, the Martian stone will have no effect ...
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), operated by NASA, is calibrating its powerful instruments to start exploring the galactic depths of the Cosmos. It’s already been about six months since the telescope’s launch, and it has already undergone the first ...
We would stop complaining about the bad weather on Earth as soon as we learn a bit about the terrible conditions on other planets. 55 Cancri e is one great example, meaning an exoplanet located 50 light-years away from Earth. ...
In a recently released paper, NASA scientists and engineers share new information about the agency’s DAVINCI – Deep Atmosphere Venus Investigation of Noble gases, Chemistry, and Imaging – mission. It will land on Venus’s surface in 2031 after going down ...
It’s more than six months since NASA lifted its James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) into the sky to bring back important data about the Universe. That event took place after many delays, and we’re talking about the most powerful space ...
While space agencies still have a lot of trouble figuring out how to send humans to the nearest planet, maybe landing them on an asteroid would be easier. Similar to how Bruce Willis’s character from the sci-fi Armageddon movie landed ...
Astronomers believe that there are trillions of galaxies out there in the Universe, which means that we should never be surprised when a new one is discovered. Even so, nature never ceases to amaze us. According to space.com, the Hubble ...
NASA hopes to send humans to the Moon once again after more than half a century. If everything goes well, that should happen thanks to the Artemis mission that will take place in 2025 or 2026. But it seems like ...
Asteroids are basically relics from the time our Solar System was born, meaning roughly 4.5 billion years ago. Some of these asteroids are big enough to be potential threats. Others have even become the moons of some planets, even though ...
The first recorded eruption of the Kavachi submarine volcano from the Solomon Islands took place almost a century ago, in 1939. Researchers recently took advantage of a period of ‘peace’ that the volcano went through and started to explore the ...
Astronomers don’t give up hope in looking for signs of alien life on Mars, even though the planet seems like a complete wasteland. But we all know that looks are often deceiving and that even microorganisms such as germs can ...
