It’s known as a circumtriple planet, and proof that one exists implies that planet formation is less uncommon than previously thought. GW Ori is a 1,300 light-year-apart solar system in the constellation Orion. It is encircled by a massive disc of dust and gas, which is a common characteristic of young star systems producing planets. […]

NASA’s body in charge of manned missions will be divided into two different bodies, the agency’s administrator announced on Tuesday, 21 Sept 2021, kicking off a significant reorganization that previous officials have attempted yet failed for years to achieve. The decision comes as commercial businesses such as SpaceX demonstrate more cost-effective means of taking individuals […]

Four people created history after they splashed into the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Florida onboard a SpaceX capsule. They became the world’s first all civilian orbital crew to visit Earth’s orbit. They remained there for three days without any professional astronaut with them and have now landed back on the Earth. Billionaire Jared […]

In a first, SpaceX has successfully launched the first-ever all-civilian mission to Earth’s Orbit. This is the first time when all the crew members launched into orbit are nonprofessional astronauts. They have been sent to orbit under SpaceX’s Inspiration4 mission. Falcon 9 rocket of Elon Musk’s company blasted off with all the crew members from […]

A SpaceX Dragon spacecraft has docked with the International Space Station (ISS) for the fourth mission in nine months. In 30 hours, SpaceX’s improved Cargo Dragon 2 spacecraft circled the Earth 20+ times prior to actually connecting with the International Space Station over 30 minutes ahead of schedule. The world’s turnaround milestone for a reusable […]

Astra attempted to reach orbit during its third test flight with its two-stage Launch Vehicle 0006. This was the space startup’s first rocket launch since it went public. However, the launch was not as expected by the company. The launch was a bit scary as an engine failed to fire just seconds after the launch. […]

After a drought of around two-month, SpaceX has launched Dragon cargo ship into orbit. The cargo ship, with around 4,300 pounds of equipment and other supplies, was launched by Falcon 9 rocket. This was SpaceX’s 23rd launch to deliver supplies to the International Space Station. The 215 feet tall Falcon 9 launcher roared into the […]

Four, or perhaps five, planets are being found in a solar system about 35 light-years away from Earth. This planetary system could possibly hold one planet that lies firmly in its star’s habitable orbit, as well as one that is the smallest planet in terms of mass ever discovered with the radial velocity technique, with […]

NASA is preparing to launch three more CubeSat Payloads. These will be secondary payloads. Two of the payloads will travel to Moon and one deep into space when NASA launches the first of the three flights under its Amrtemis program. Two of them have already been integrated for launch. The third one is also ready […]

Ingenuity has reached new heights. Ingenuity is a mini helicopter. It is designed to fly in the Martian atmosphere. The helicopter has successfully attained record height. It achieved the milestone during the 10th flight. Ingenuity was sent to Mars by NASA. The US space agency said that Ingenuity’s 10th flight was the most complex task. […]

China is aggressively pushing its program to set up an independent space station. The country has already started setting up the rotating laboratory. The Chinese space station will be called Tiangong. The Asian giant is planning to conduct as many as 1,000 scientific experiments at the laboratory when it becomes operational. The T-shaped space station […]

The Hubble telescope has detected signs of water vapor on Ganymede. Ganymede is a Jupiter moon. This is the first time when evidence of water vapor has been found on Ganymede. Astronomers said that Ganymede’s atmosphere has water vapor. Scientists said that they used new and archival datasets from the Hubble Space Telescope to uncover […]

The Perseverance rover is all set to acquire the first Mars sample. NASA said that sample collection is a part of the agency’s plan to bring them back to Earth in the future. Perseverance is the most hi-tech and latest rover that NASA landed on the Red Planet. This will be the first-ever sample collection […]

Orbital Assembly Corporation, headed by former pilot John Blincow and described as the world’s first large-scale space construction business, intends to launch Voyager Station by 2027. In Fontana, California, the firm recently established a new manufacturing facility. The hotel, if built as planned, would be able to accommodate 280 guests and 112 crew people. The […]

SpaceX plans to launch its maiden Starship orbital trip in July. The Starship system is a fully reusable, two‑stage‑to‑orbit super heavy‑lift launch vehicle under development by SpaceX. SpaceX revealed the plans for the first Starship orbital mission in May. This was a significant step forward in the path to making the enormous rocket suitable for […]

The US space agency NASA’s Artemis program could be delayed. The agency has confirmed tech delay in developing the system that will take humans to Mars. NASA has plans to land astronauts on Moon’s surface in 2024. But the deadline now appears to be doubtful. According to the General Accountability Office, the agency has so […]

Asteroids pose a great danger to humanity. But soon we could track potentially dangerous asteroids heading to earth as the National Aeronautics and Space Administration has approved the development of a space telescope. The Near-Earth Object Surveyor Mission or Neo Surveyor development is moving to the next stage. NASA said that the Neo Surveyor has […]

Greenhouse emissions have been a serious cause of concern. A new paper has said that the stratosphere is shrinking. It has blamed the factors that contribute to climate change as major reasons. Researchers said that the stratosphere has been shrinking since the early 1980s. The paper said that it can cause harm or damage to […]

China has added another feather to its space exploration story. The Asian giant has successfully landed its Mars rover on the planet. This is the first time when China has landed a mission on the Red Planet. CNSA said that the lander carrying a rover touched down on the planet successfully. This is also the […]

A team of engineers at Purdue University has developed the whitest paint ever that might be able to keep buildings cool just like an air conditioner.  The same group has come up with ultra-white paint in October 2020. The senior author of the new study, Xiulin Ruan, who is a professor of mechanical engineering at […]
