Jupiter's lightning is strikingly similar to Earth's
NASA's Juno spacecraft has spotted short bursts that make up lightning bolts on Jupiter, showing that Jovian lightning works in much the same way as it does on Earth.
These beginner-friendly Celestron telescopes are over 30% off
You can either start your stargazing journey for under $80 or grab something a little more powerful and save over $110.
Radio Waves Unveil Supernova Origin
Astronomers have observed an unusual supernova, in which a helium star fed a white dwarf until it exploded.
An Astronaut Will Be Controlling Several Robots on Earth… from Space
The European Space Agency has been hosting a series of robotic teleoperation experiments where an astronaut abroad the ISS controls a robot back on the ground. We’ve previously reported on some of their successes. Now it’s time for the next round of experiments, with one individual astronaut on the ISS controlling four separate robots to perform a task back on Earth.
See the crescent moon have a close encounter with Mars tonight
The moon and Mars will dance together in the night sky both tonight (May 23) and Wednesday night (May 24).
'Star Trek: Resurgence' video game comes out today
Gamers keen to immerse themselves in the upcoming "Star Trek: Resurgence" video game don't have to wait any longer — the game comes out today (May 23).
This new supernova is the closest to Earth in a decade. It's visible in the night sky right now.
During the last few days, astronomers have been pointing their telescopes toward a familiar celestial object in our spring night sky for a look at a rare event: A new supernova.
Cyberlink PhotoDirector 365 Review 2023
PhotoDirector 365 is an AI-heavy photo editing software with an in-built library and non-destructive workflow, but there's little for serious astrophotographers.
ESA receives Space for Climate Protection Award
ESA has been presented the ‘Space for Climate Protection’ Special Award by the International Astronautical Federation during the Global Space Conference on Climate Change – currently taking place in Oslo, Norway.
Watch SpaceX launch big telecom satellite to orbit tonight
SpaceX will launch a big telecom satellite to orbit tonight (May 23), weather permitting, and you can watch the liftoff live.
Sending astronauts to Mars by 2040 is 'an audacious goal' but NASA is trying anyway
Astronauts may orbit Mars by 2033, but setting foot on the Red Planet by the end of next decade would be an "aggressive" and "audacious" goal, NASA officials said.
Around the bed in 60 days
Lying in bed for a full 60 days – with one shoulder always touching the mattress – might sound like bliss, but add cycling, spinning and constant medical tests to the equation and it becomes a challenging experience for the sake of human space exploration.
Annual global ice loss simulated over Oslo
Video: 00:01:20
Satellites play a vital role in monitoring the rapid changes taking place in the Arctic. Tracking ice lost from the world’s glaciers, ice sheets and frozen land shows that Earth is losing ice at an accelerating rate.
SETI Researchers Are Simulating Alien Contact — and You Can Help
Is it a multimedia art project? Or a rehearsal for alien contact? Let’s call it both: Researchers specializing in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, or SETI, are working with a media artist to stage the receipt of an interstellar message — and a global effort to decode the message.
The Tonga Eruption Was So Powerful it Disrupted Satellites Half a World Away
Remember the huge Tonga eruption in the South Pacific in January 2022? This underwater volcano sent tons of ash into the air. It also blew 146 teragrams of water into our atmosphere and the effect of the explosion reached space. It also made life very difficult for people on Tonga, wiping out their communications and sending tsunamis across the South Pacific.
The Heaviest Neutron Stars Could Have Strange Matter Cores
Physics gets weird at the extremes. Astrophysics usually deals with the extremely large – large energies, large gravities, and lots and lots of stuff. Quantum mechanics, on the other hand, typically deals with the extremely small – quarks and other particles that are completely unseen by the human eye. So far, despite decades of trying, no Grand Unified Theory (or any other theory) combines these two opposed theories. This makes it all the more interesting that a team from the Purple Mountain Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences proposed an idea that the interior cores of neutron stars, one of the most extreme examples of large extremes in the universe, might be made up of a type of tiny particle that makes up part of the “soup” of quantum mechanics called a strange quark.
Four Private Astronauts Are Now on the International Space Station
On Sunday, May 21, the 4-person crew of Axiom Mission 2 (Ax-2) blasted off to the International Space Station (ISS) on board a SpaceX Crew Dragon, and today, May 22, the private astronaut crew boarded the International Space Station for a scheduled 10-day stay.
The Mercury Space Program
The Mercury space program was the first human spaceflight program of the United States. It was initiated by NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) in the late 1950s and aimed to put an American astronaut into orbit around the Earth. Here are some key details about the Mercury space program:
Some black holes may actually be tangles in the fabric of space-time, new research suggests
A new paper discusses how light interacts with theoretical objects called "topological solitons" — kinks in the fabric of space-time that look just like black holes.
Astronomers Watched a Fast Radio Burst Go Right Through a Star’s Atmosphere
The universe is filled with things that go flash in the night. That includes fast radio bursts (FRBs). These are brilliant, powerful blips of radio emissions from distant and mysterious sources. Astronomers studying one called FRB 20190520B noticed something fascinating about its signals. They get polarized as they travel outward from the source.
