It’s taking our story to the moon
Europe has officially just landed its first lunar lander on a fake moon in Germany. It is part of a wider push by the Europeans to perform their own space exploration. To that end, Europe has begun investing heavily in its infrastructure. And the continent’s space program has just placed a lunar lander on a […]
Generating reliable energy on the Moon is tough
NASA’s James Webb telescope has a habit of rewriting what we thought we knew about space. But this time, the shocker wasn’t some galaxy billions of light-years away. It was something right here in our own solar system, hiding in plain sight. A brand-new moon, just six miles wide, has been spotted orbiting Uranus. VISIT […]

Preparing for a historic lunar mission

It launched last month and is expected to reach its destination by mid-2026. For now, though, an exciting […]

When exploring outer space, you need to know where you are going, and this system may just make astronauts’ lives easier. But exploring with minimal communication is a task and a half. So, with real-time information and ways to relieve stress […]
Nobody can explain it – yet
