About 11.5 billion years ago, a distant star roughly 530 times larger than our sun died in a cataclysmic explosion that blew its outer layers of gas into the surrounding cosmos, a supernova documented by astronomers in blow-by-blow detail. Researchers on Wednesday said NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope managed to capture three separate images spanning a […]

A Northrop Grumman rocket successfully launched on November 7, carrying a Cygnus cargo spacecraft dubbed S.S Sally Ride into orbit. But after successfully entering orbit, the spacecraft carrying more than 3,700 kilograms of cargo meant for the International Space Station could only deploy one of its two solar arrays. NASA says it will attempt to […]

After nearly four years spent on the Martian surface, NASA’s InSight lander is coming to the end of its life as the spacecraft’s power generation continues to decline because of dust blown on the lander’s solar panels. The InSight team is now taking steps to make sure the lander continues working as long as possible […]

The sun surely seems to be smiling down on us. NASA released an image taken by its Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) where the Sun seems to have two dark eyes, a bright round nose and a wide-open smile. “Say cheese! Today, NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory caught the Sun “smiling.” Seen in ultraviolet light, these dark […]

Lucy was launched on October 26, 2021, from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida using an Atlas V 401 rocket. This image of the Earth was taken using the spacecraft’s Terminal Tracing Camera (T2CAM) system. T2CAM is a pair of identical cameras designed to track asteroids during the spacecraft’s high-speed encounters. Two days […]

The word “space” may conjure up images of planets, stars and other heavenly bodies that are light-years away from us, but that is because we forget that “space” is just 100 kilometres above us at any given time. And things that happen in space can sometimes have a profound impact on life on Earth. For example, a NASA […]

The InSight lander, perched on the surface of Mars since 2018, will run out of power and stop operations within four to eight weeks, NASA said on Thursday, even as scientists detailed a big meteorite strike it detected that gouged boulder-sized chunks of ice surprisingly close to the planet’s equator. Dust has been accumulating on […]
