The idea of human colonization of alien planets has been a popular theme in science fiction for many decades. With advances in technology and space exploration, the possibility of humans establishing colonies on other planets has become more plausible. One…
NASA has been using its current spacesuits on the International Space Station for many years, and they are beginning to show their age. Not only is NASA struggling to accommodate its increasingly diverse astronaut team, but certain components of the…
The search for evidence of life on distant exoplanets has led us to look beyond our solar system into the vastness of space. A few hundred years ago, however, a distinctive planet was discovered that is relatively close to us.…
SpaceX’s original ambition of repurposing two oil rigs to launch its Starship vehicle has been scrapped, but the company is still keen to explore the possibility of incorporating offshore launch platforms into its long-term ambitions. SpaceX Ditches Oil Rigs &…
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope captured images of strange spokes appearing across Saturn’s rings during Saturn’s autumnal or vernal equinox, which lasts about seven years. Researchers believe the spokes are caused by Saturn’s magnetic field, which sends charged particles from the…
Studies have recently suggested that the core of the Earth may have stopped spinning faster than the rest of the planet at some point in the last decade. Located thousands of kilometers below the surface, this inner core could possibly…
Learn more about these amazing inventions which have helped us explore space beyond Earth. From telescopes to rocket launchers, space exploration would not be possible without the advancement in technology. Humankind has dreamed of traveling to the stars for centuries,…
Nature likes spirals – from the whirlwinds of a hurricane to the pinwheel-shaped protoplanetary disks around newborn stars to the vast regions of spiral galaxies in our Universe. Now astronomers are surprised to find young stars spiraling into the center…
At Kennedy Space Center, NASA’s Space Launch System is rolled out to Launch Pad 39B ahead of the Artemis 1 mission to the moon. NASA’s Artemis 1 moon mission is poised to launch a new era of U.S. lunar exploration…
Scientists have been trying to find a way to use nuclear propulsion to get us to Mars for years. The idea is that it would be much cheaper and quicker than current methods. Nuclear propulsion works by using a nuclear…
