Facts about Venus
Venus is the second planet from the sun and is the brightest planet in our solar system. Here are some facts about Venus:
Stunning plasma-winged 'butterfly' coronal mass ejection erupts from the sun's far side
Astronomers spotted a massive coronal mass ejection (CME) expanding its ethereal wings as it barrelled out of the sun and toward Mercury.
Amateur Astronomers Help Provide Uninterrupted View of Venus’s Clouds
The newest observations will help astronomers understand a planetary-scale wave in the atmosphere of our sister planet.
One of the best binoculars for kids on sale now just $30 with this half-price saving
At almost half price, we've named the Occer 12x25 after we were happily impressed during our review so we'd recommend this deep discount while stocks last
Liftoff on Mars! Perseverance rover captures amazing video of Ingenuity helicopter flight
Ingenuity's 47th flight on Mars on March 9 featured a plethora of footage from the drone, flying tens of feet above the surface, as well as its companion rover Perseverance.
Futurama reboot on Hulu: Release window, cast, where to watch, & more
The Futurama reboot on Hulu isn't far away and here's everything we know about it from release date, cast, how to watch and more.
Webb captures rarely seen prelude to a supernova
A Wolf-Rayet star is a rare prelude to the famous final act of a massive star: the supernova. As one of its first observations in 2022, the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope captured the Wolf-Rayet star WR 124 in unprecedented detail.
International Space Station fires thrusters to dodge space junk
The International Space Station (ISS) had to perform a debris avoidance maneuver to dodge yet another piece of space junk on Tuesday (March 14).
Chinese rocket stage crashes to Earth over Texas
The second stage of a Chinese Long March 2D rocket that launched last year reentered Earth's atmosphere on March 7 as it passed over Texas.
Exploring Lava Tubes on Other Worlds Will Need Rovers That Can Work Together
Planetary exploration, specifically within our own Solar System, has provided a lifetime of scientific knowledge about the many worlds beyond Earth. However, this exploration, thus far, has primarily been limited to orbiters and landers/rovers designed for surface exploration of the celestial bodies they visit. But what if we could explore subsurface environments just as easily as we’ve been able to explore the surface, and could some of these subsurface dwellings not only shelter future astronauts, but host life, as well?
China's Zhurong Mars rover reveals seasonal wind changes in Red Planet weather report
Data collected by China's Zhurong rover shows seasonal changes in the strength and direction of winds on Mars.
JWST Sees So Many Galaxies, and It's Just Getting Started
Hubble Space Telescope’s Deep Field revealed thousands of galaxies in a seemingly empty spot in the sky. Now, the James Webb Space Telescope has taken deep field observations to the next level with its COSMOS-Web survey, revealing 25,000 galaxies in just six pictures, the first from this new survey.
Finding Life in the Solar System Means Crunching a Lot of Data. The Perfect Job for Machine Learning
There are plenty of places for life to hide. Even on our blue planet, where we know there is abundant life, it is sometimes difficult to predict all the different environments it might crop up in. Exploring worlds other than our own for life would make it exponentially more difficult to detect it because, realistically, we don’t really know what we’re looking for. But life will probably present itself with some sort of pattern. And there is one new technology that is exceptional at detecting patterns: machine learning. Researchers at the SETI Institute have started working on a machine-learning-based AI system that will do just that.
How astronauts could farm on the moon with lunar soil nutrients
A new technique for processing lunar soil may help foster plant growth on the moon in hopes for sustaining more long-term lunar missions.
Watch the half-lit last quarter moon rise tonight
The moon reaches its last quarter phase on Tuesday at which point the lunar face is half illuminated by the light of the sun. This phase falls halfway between the full moon and the new moon.
Collapse of Silicon Valley Bank is felt by the space sector
The forced closure of the Silicon Valley Bank on Friday (March 10) could have a major impact on the space sector, as many space and tech companies had investments and accounts with the bank.
SpaceX is 'go' for March 14 cargo launch to space station
SpaceX is all set to launch its latest cargo mission to the International Space Station on Tuesday (March 14), provided Mother Nature cooperates.
Don’t Panic Over the Risk of an Asteroid Smashup in 2046
A newly discovered asteroid called 2023 DW has generated quite a buzz over the past week, due to an estimated 1-in-670 chance of impact on Valentine’s Day 2046. But despite a NASA advisory and the resulting scary headlines, there’s no need to put an asteroid doomsday on your day planner for that date.
A Distant Galaxy Ate All of its Friends. Now It’s All Alone
Over 13 billion years ago, the first galaxies in the Universe formed. They were elliptical, with intermediate black holes (IMBHs) at their centers surrounded by a halo of stars, gas, and dust. Over time, these galaxies evolved by flattening out into disks with a large bulge in the middle. They were then drawn together by mutual gravitational attraction to form galaxy clusters, massive collections that comprise the large-scale cosmic structure. This force of attraction also led to mergers, where galaxies and their central black holes came together to create larger spiral galaxies with central supermassive black holes (SMBHs).
