Since we commenced space exploration in the 20th century, humans have always wondered how we could travel beyond the solar system into interstellar space. While space agencies are currently focusing on missions to the moon, Mars, and other celestial bodies within the solar system using chemical propulsion engines, a scientist is already exploring the idea […]
On October 6, at exactly 2:06 PM EST, Amazon launched its Protoflight aboard a United Launch Alliance (ULA) rocket from Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The primary goal of this mission is the deliver two demo satellites, KuiperSat-1 and KuiperSat-2 at about a height of 311 miles (500

NASA James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) just discovered mysterious free-floating strange objects in space about the size of Jupiter hiding near the Orion Nebula. Hence, these strange objects are not orbiting around any star. Astronomers marvel at the discovery of these cosmic entities as they never expected rogue objects to exist in this part of

Japan’s iSpace recently revealed its plan for future missions after winning a $55 million NASA moon landing deal. On Thursday, September 28, the company’s representatives made several announcements revealing the firm’s goals to become one of the major players in moon exploration in the near future. iSpace officials boldly revealed that the company would be
Saturn’s iconic rings have remained one of the greatest wonders that amazes every skygazer observing the Universe. However, scientists have proposed several theories on how Saturn’s iconic rings came into existence. A recent study suggests that a massive moon collision between two ancient icy moons that may have once traveled around Saturn could have given
NASA and the U.S. Department of Energy are funding the Lunar Surface Electromagnetic Experiment-Night Mission (LuSEE-Night), which is a small radio telescope designed to spot radio waves coming from the cosmic Dark Ages that existed over 13.4 billion years ago. These agencies are working on this futuristic project in collaboration with scientists at the Lawrence
A group of researchers recently studied the possibility of using aerographite as a material for solar sail to reach Mars and beyond, Universe Today reports. Scientists from the Planetary Society have already demonstrated the LightSail 2 mission during which they raised a small CubeSat’s orbit by 1.9 miles (3.2 Km) using the propulsive force of photons,

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
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

On September 18, 1977, NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft captured the first image of Earth and the moon from a distance more than 7 million miles away from Earth. The entire world celebrated this milestone as it remains the first real image of Earth moon system captured in a single frame. The Interstellar explorer captured this
