Lunar nights are terrifying and highly destructive to human-made technologies. However, Japan’s SLIM spacecraft recently survived the second lunar night after surviving the first one. Keep in mind that Japan is just the fifth nation to successfully land on the moon. The SLIM spacecraft was not to survive the long cold two weeks of lunar night as […]
SpaceX and Intuitive Machines are preparing to launch a private IM-1 Nova-C Lander from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station on Florida’s Space Coast soon. The launch will occur during a three-day window in mid-February if everything goes according to plan. “As our combined teams closed the two fairing halves, I saw the lunar lander for

Earth and other planets around the sun came into existence around 4.5 billion years ago after the formation of the sun. scientists suggest that these planets form from a myriad of tiny planetesimals. The latest meteorite study now reveals that ancient space rocks already contain water. Researchers recently tested samples from meteorites that they believed
On January 19, NASA announced that it lost contact with its 4-pound (1.8 kilograms) Mars Ingenuity Helicopter. The agency announced after the chopper completed its 72nd flight on the red planet on Jan. 18. “Data Ingenuity sent to the Perseverance rover (which acts as a relay between the helicopter and Earth) during the flight indicates

On January 17, SpaceX will launch private astronauts on an Ax-3 mission to the International Space Station (ISS). The spacecraft will commence its journey to the orbiting laboratory from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The liftoff will take off at 4:49 p.m. EST (2149 GMT). During the liftoff, the SpaceX Dragon capsule stacked atop

Since we commenced with space exploration, scientists have been looking forward to finding life outside Earth. Several observations have proven that Venus’ clouds may be habitable to some form of microbial lifeforms. Since private agencies are now dominating the space, we should be expecting a visit to the Hellish planet anytime soon. An American Aerospace
Astrobiologists have continued to advance their search for microbial life within and outside the solar system. A recent discovery made by scientists seems to be moving us closer to making a new fascinating discovery for humankind. A team of scientists from the University of Arizona’s Lunar and Planetary Laboratory recently studied spacecraft images and data
NASA recently released a new video revealing how its Mars Perseverance rover collected its youngest rock samples from Mars. Since the rover landed on Mars on Feb. 21, 2021, it has continued to explore the Jezero crater to meet its mission goals. Perseverance rover has collected 23 samples of Martian rocks as of Nov. 2023.

Astronomers recently discovered a river of hydrogen gas flowing outward from the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds. These are two dwarf galaxies that exist in the outskirts of the Milky Way Galaxy. Researchers revealed that the contents of this river named the Magellanic Stream have amazed them for decades. This is the first time astronomers
Ancient astronomers struggled to understand the concept of the speed of light. Before its discovery, some researchers thought that the speed of light was either extremely fast to measure or infinite. On Nov. 21, 1676, Ole Rømer, a Danish astronomer discovered the speed of light. Rømer accidentally discovered this while studying Jupiter’s volcanic moon, Io.
