Orion capsule used in abort test 'lands' at University of North Dakota
A space capsule that NASA used to learn more about safely launching astronauts to the moon has arrived at the University of North Dakota for a different type of education.
The pieces of NASA's next 3 Artemis moon missions head to Florida launch site (photos)
Pieces for the Artemis 2, 3 and 4 moon missions are all bound for NASA's Kennedy Space Center after manufacturing in the U.S. and in Europe. They'll journey by sea to get there.
'Warm Jupiter' exoplanet 300 light-years away found by amateur astronomers
A network of citizen scientists recently found a "warm" Jupiter 300 light-years from Earth that can reveal clues about how our own Jupiter and solar system evolved.
Astrophotographer captures Comet C/2023 E1 Atlas in rare encounter with Flying Bat and Squid Nebula
The detailed deep-sky image captured by astrophotographer Miguel Claro shows the dramatic scene unfolding at different wavelengths.
Astronomers discover oldest known eclipse reference in 6,000-year-old Hindu text
Astronomers combed through an ancient Hindu text and discovered that it referenced a total solar eclipse that occurred roughly 6,000 years ago, making it the oldest known mention of an eclipse.
NASA astronaut Butch Wilmore reports 'strange noise' coming from Boeing's Starliner spacecraft, 'I don't know what's making it'
The eerie sound was likened to a pulsing sonar-like ping.
Watch Sentinel-2C launch live on the final Vega rocket
The Copernicus Sentinel-2C satellite is ready for liftoff! Tune in to ESA WebTV on 4 September from 03:30 CEST to watch the satellite soar into space on the last Vega rocket to be launched from Europe’s Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana. Sentinel-2C is scheduled to liftoff at 03:50 CEST.
Fourth Mercury flyby begins BepiColombo’s new trajectory
Teams from across ESA and industry have worked continuously over the past four months to overcome a glitch that prevented BepiColombo’s thrusters from operating at full power. The ESA/JAXA mission is still on track, with a new trajectory that will take it just 165 km from Mercury’s surface on Wednesday.
A Global Color Map of Mars, Courtesy of China’s Tianwen-1 Mission
In July 2020, China’s Tianwen-1 mission arrived in orbit around Mars, consisting of six robotic elements: an orbiter, a lander, two deployable cameras, a remote camera, and the Zhurong rover. As the first in a series of interplanetary missions by the China National Space Administration (CNSA), the mission’s purpose is to investigate Mars’s geology and internal structure, characterize its atmosphere, and search for indications of water on Mars. Like the many orbiters, landers, and rovers currently exploring Mars, Tianwen-1 is also searching for possible evidence of life on Mars (past and present).
Gravitational Wave Observatories Could Detect Primordial Black Holes Speeding Through the Solar System
Cosmologists have long hypothesized that the conditions of the early universe could have caused the formation of black holes not long after the Big Bang. These ‘primordial black holes’ have a much wider mass range than those that formed in the later universe from the death of stars, with some even condensed to the width of a single atom.
Best Alien comic books of all time
The perfect organism is as menacing on the pages as it is on the big screen. These are the must-read Alien comic books you should look out for.
Weird mystery waves that baffle scientists may be 'everywhere' inside Earth's mantle
Structures that scatter seismic waves deep in Earth's mantle seem to be everywhere researchers look.
Astrophotographer captures Comet 13P/Olbers and the Black Eye Galaxy M64 in stunning detail (photo)
Astrophotographer Greg Meyer had just one hour to capture this iconic image of Comet 13P/Olbers and the Black Eye Galaxy (M64).
September Podcast: Exploring Vega’s Neighborhood
Let’s go on a night-sky tour of the stars and planets that you’ll see overhead during August. Find a good seat for some great “shooting stars,” watch Saturn climb in the eastern sky in early evening, check out the summer's brightest stars, and start looking for a once-in-your-lifetime star blast.
By Watching the Sun, Astronomers are Learning More about Exoplanets
Watching the Olympics recently and the amazing effort of the hammer throwers was a wonderful demonstration of the radial velocity method that astronomers use to detect exoplanets. As the hammer spins around the athlete, their body and head bobs back and forth as the weight from the hammer tugs upon them. In the same way we can detect the wobble of a star from the gravity of planets in orbit. Local variations in the stars can add noise to the data but a team of researchers have been studying the Sun to help next-generation telescopes detect more Earth-like planets.
Coronal Loops-Digital Art Combination Captures Power of the Sun, Rendered by Andrew McCarthy
Our Sun is one of the most fascinating objects in the universe and photographing it with specialized equipment to capture its splendor and beauty has become increasingly more common around the world. This is most evident with the work obtained by renowned astrophotographer, Andrew McCarthy (@AJamesMcCarthy), who owns Cosmic Background Studios in Florence, Arizona.
SpaceX launches back-to-back Falcon 9 rockets within 65 minutes and aces 2 landings days after a failed booster touchdown
SpaceX launched two Falcon 9 rockets in just over an hour early Saturday (Aug. 31) and nailed back-to-back booster landings just days after a recent failure.
Estimating the Basic Settings of the Universe
The Standard Model describes how the Universe has evolved at large scale. There are six numbers that define the model and a team of researchers have used them to build simulations of the Universe. The results of these simulations were then fed to a machine learning algorithm to train it before it was set the task of estimating five of the cosmological constants, a task which it completed with incredible precision.
Rocket Lab's Mars probes reach launch site ahead of 1st flight on Blue Origin New Glenn rocket (photos)
The twin ESCAPADE satellites have arrived in Florida for the highly anticipated inaugural flight of Blue Origin's New Glenn megarocket in October.
