It’s almost one light-day away
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 […]
The Red Planet has never looked so similar to Earth before
Have you ever wondered what the speed of the Voyager 1 satellite actually looks like as it hurtles through space? First launched in 1977, it’s the farthest human-made object from Earth. Many people often don’t realize just how incredibly fast objects travel through the galaxy. Well, the Airplane Mode YouTube channel has just created a […]
Ever wondered what it’s like inside a black hole?
After touching base years ago, one NASA astronaut has now revealed what she thought the coolest thing inside the International Space Station is. Not every Astronaut gets to visit the International Space Station. Sometimes, the capsules sent into space return home after just breaking through the atmosphere. Others go off to different satellites around the […]
You won’t believe what happens!
India is one of the world’s fastest-growing global economies, and its new NISAR space project and NASA satellite are proof of that. It has long been considered to have the potential to be the next major global superpower, but now it seems the sky’s the limit. As a matter of fact, the country stole the […]
Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong completed one of humanity’s greatest-ever accomplishments, thanks to Apollo 11, but what if they’d been less successful and ended up stranded on the Moon? The Moon landing in July 1969 remains one of the pinnacles of human exploration. Of course, it had every chance of going horribly wrong on that […]
It’s hit another major milestone
A new NASA telescope won’t just look at stars – it’s going to film them exploding in a way we’ve never seen before. Some of those ‘cosmic fireworks’ will be older than our entire galaxy, too. Launching in 2027, NASA’s new space telescope is being built to capture the most dramatic events in the universe […]
This is potentially a big step forward
NASA just completed a critical test on the second-stage motor that will power its Mars Sample Return rocket – a system designed to do something no NASA tech ever has: lift off from another planet. It’s a bold step toward the mission that aims to bring Martian soil and rock samples back to Earth. If […]
A record-breaking journey
NASA is preparing the first crew-driven lunar rover, known as an LTV, in over 50 years in advance of Artemis V. The Artemis Moon exploration program is getting close to launching a new mission to the lunar surface. Next year will see Artemis II launch a crew of four around the Moon. But NASA is […]
