NASA informs the world about another big space rock. It’s not mandatory to be an astronomer to figure out that our planet would be very vulnerable in the face of an asteroid that surpasses ‘acceptable’ measurements. The asteroid that makes ...
Have you ever wondered what a black hole could sound like? Those huge, dark, and dominating behemoths of the Universe can be considered extremely sinister and evil. Nothing that comes nearby could possibly escape a black hole. NASA has revealed ...
Since the dawn of time, humans wanted to travel among the stars and the depths of the heavens. While technology allowed the human race to explore a very tiny part of space, astronomers might need to apply a different recipe. ...
Mars might not be yet a suitable destination for humans, but it’s still safe to send some robots there. NASA’s Perseverance rover has been bringing important data from the Red Planet since 2021, and now it captures a solar eclipse ...
A little over a century ago, we were still taking measurements of the earth. We had to physically go to our Greenwich Observatory and measure from there. Then we used maps to do the same thing. And then the GPS ...
All NASA haters out there must admit that the space agency has some fancy “toys” for exploring space. It proves it once again by unveiling its Psyche spacecraft that’s supposed to fly beyond Mars and all the way to a ...
There are now three paying clients and a veteran NASA astronaut on board this novel expedition lasting around 10 days, which has docked at the International Space Station. #Ax1 crew welcomed by the @space_station crews as they leave Dragon and enter ...
NASA scientists have devised a new, all-encompassing technique of transmitting communications into space. As per the new study, the idea is to transmit humanity’s unique fingerprint to anybody who could be eavesdropping on the transmission. According to the authors, this ...
Preparatory work at Kennedy Space Center for NASA’s new rocket and intricate plumbing system has been completed after two weeks. This is the last big test until the space agency determines that the Space Launch System is finally ready to ...
Many people thought that along with the launch of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) of NASA, the good old Hubble wouldn’t be needed anymore. But it seems that once again, astronomy is surprising in every possible way. Hubble is ...
Most boys dreamed about becoming astronauts when they were little. And surely many were imagining that just as we’re going on a trip to the beach on our vacations, for instance, we could do the same in the future when ...
The James Webb Space Telescope, operated by NASA, has completed another important mirror alignment phase and has published the highest quality infrared picture yet obtained by a space telescope. The James Webb Orbit Telescope captured its first images in space ...
If you think that going to the Moon is like a walk in the park, please keep in mind that no astronaut has been there since 1972. It’s obvious that space agencies always need some fancy new toys to maneuver ...
NASA is always on the lookout for ‘possibly dangerous’ asteroids that might endanger Earth. NASA is also planning for the worst-case scenario: a collision with an asteroid. Yes, an asteroid might collide with Earth. In a surprising turn of events, ...
Judging by how long time has passed by since humanity landed on the Moon the first time, you might be tempted to believe that there’s nothing more to learn about our natural satellite. But astronomy is one of those fields ...
NASA aims to send the first astronauts to Mars by the end of the current decade. While it would be a huge achievement, we are surely asking ourselves why the space agency hasn’t reached that goal already. It’s 2022 and ...
One of NASA’s space security experts describes how the agency prepares to avoid a catastrophic tragedy. Our home planet is situated in a hazardous environment. Asteroids and comets are among the celestial bodies that are continually racing through space and ...
Jupiter is easily one of the big conundrums of our Solar System, and for good reasons. Scientists still didn’t uncover all that is to know about the formation of the gas giant. Nobody can fully explain how Jupiter evolved in ...
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) was finally launched by NASA on Christmas 2021 after a long series of delays. Astronomers put a lot of faith in the telescope, considering that it’s able to unpuzzle a lot of mysteries of ...
The International Space Station still has a long way to go before it is decommissioned in 2030, but we’re getting a glimpse of the “space cemetery” where it will be buried. According to NASA’s International Space Station Transition Report, Point ...
This stunning drone footage shows SpaceX launching a spy satellite and landing a rocket. On February 3, SpaceX’s NROL-87 mission was launched and landed by a drone. SpaceX has released a spectacular new film that captures the experience of seeing ...
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 ...
For centuries, mankind has wanted to go to Mars. But the costs to go there are huge, the fuel has to last for months, and not anybody would be willing to spend years away from Earth. To make things worse, ...
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 ...
