Previous mission to Europa has shown that Jupiter’s icy moon may contain a subsurface ocean that could exist as liquid water. Since scientists have discovered that some form of lifeforms could be present on celestial bodies with water, space agencies have been curious to study Europa surface and its subsurface ocean. During a recent observation, […]
NASA OSIRIS-REx spacecraft is currently on its way to Earth to deliver the samples it collected from the surface of asteroid Bennu. Scientists revealed that the spacecraft will arrive on Earth on Sunday (September 24). This is indeed a historic mission as it remains the first time NASA is returning a material collected from an
NASA astronaut Frank Rubio just completed 365 days in space on September 21st, 2023. This milestone made Rubio the first American entire year in space. The astronaut arrived at the International Space Station on Sept. 21, 2022. Ever since then, he has been on several record-breaking missions including conducting dozens of scientific experiments that have
On the quest to provide fresh food for the crew in orbit, China’s Shenzhou 16 astronauts have been growing a space garden in low Earth orbit. The mission commander Jing Haipeng and rookie Astros Zhu Yangzhu and Gui Haichao have been planting vegetables in space as part of their science experiment tasks on the Tiangong
Scientists have been conducting several studies since the last century to unlock the mysteries of the universe. Margaret Burbidge is one of the most recognized astrophysicists who published a research paper in 1957 unveiling more deeper meaning into modern astrophysics. Burbidge was a leading scientist at the time of this publication. During a recent interview
If check around the internet and your neighborhood, you will see many people that believe in flat Earth theory. Hence, spotting a flat Earther is not that difficult. These people inherited this belief from numerous ancient cultures that suggest that the Earth is flat. The reason why ancient cultures believed in a flat Earth is
NASA’s OSIRIS-Rex mission has been on a mission to collect asteroid samples and return them safely to Earth. However, as the space probe reached the asteroid Bennu region, it discovered a celestial body that appeared and behaved differently from what researchers earlier suggested. Hence, the OSIRI-REx mission was nearly caught by surprise by the space

To take space exploration to another phase, NASA has partnered with a small robotic company in Texas to advance its decades of work in developing humanoid robots. The agency hopes that these advanced robots may be sent to orbit or land on planets to assist the astronauts with their tasks on the surface of any

The human body cannot do without sleep. Hence, astronauts in space still have to sleep in the weightless environment of space to regain their strength after engaging in complex daily tasks. However, unlike Earth where we can jump onto our bed and get a good sleep, astronauts in space are mandated to follow certain guidance
