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 […]

In a major push to its Artemis program, NASA has decided who will develop the Moon lander. The agency has picked SpaceX to develop the lander. This will be the first commercial lander ever developed any private aerospace firm. SpaceX is owned by space enthusiast Elon Musk. The Moon lander contract is worth USD 2.9 […]

NASA has redefined the scientific approach to exploring Mars in the last few decades. It is the only space agency that has landed multiple rovers on the Red Planet’s surface. NASA has said that its Mars Odyssey spacecraft has completed 20 years of mapping Earth’s neighboring planet. Odyssey spacecraft was launched on April 7 in […]

There is no risk to humanity from asteroid Apophis. NASA has announced that the asteroid will not hit the planet. There were predictions that Apophis could hit Earth in 2068. However, NASA has rubbished the possibility of any impact on Earth. The agency said that Earth is safe from Apophis. Asteroids are space rocks. These […]

Virgin Galactic has unveiled VSS Imagine which is the first in the list of the company’s third-generation spaceships. This is different from the American spaceflight company’s VSS Unity in a number of ways. The most striking difference is that it has a mirror-like finish. This makes it reflect the environment around it because of which […]

NASA has announced to defer the crucial planetary defense mission. The space agency was slated to launch the mission by mid-2021. The mission involves launching a method in space that will guard Earth against possible asteroid impact in the future. The agency had plans to test the method before validating it. According to the space […]

Private aerospace company SpaceX has won another NASA contract. The space agency has selected Elon Musk’s company for providing launch services for its Artemis program. Under this program, NASA will send three spacecraft to Moon. The third and last spacecraft will take humans to the Moon. The agency is working to land humans on the […]

The US-based space agency NASA is planning to launch another mission to Mars. This will be different from the previous missions. It will be called the Mars Ice Mapper mission. Besides NASA, the mission will involve the ISA, CSA, and JAXA. The agencies will together work on the mission to identify potential objectives for future […]

The OSIRIS-REx spacecraft is all set to make history. The NASA spacecraft is now preparing to return to Earth. The spacecraft is currently at asteroid Bennu. According to NASA, it will bid adieu to Bennu on May 10. As per the schedule, the spacecraft will arrive here on September 24 in 2023. The spacecraft is […]

NASA has extended the duration of its Juno mission recently and it seems that it has been worth it. The Juno spacecraft has traced an FM radio signal transmitting from the moon of Jupiter Ganymede. For the first time, scientists have been able to find something from this moon of Jupiter. Patrick Wiggins, who is […]

The US-based space agency NASA has extended the duration of two trailblazing planetary missions, which involve the Juno spacecraft and the Mars InSight Lander. The extension of these two missions has come after a review process. NASA’s planetary science division director, Lori Glaze has said that the senior review panel has confirmed that these two […]

Researchers have identified new impact craters on Moon’s surface. According to a study, an international team of researchers has identified as many as 109,000 impact craters. The study was led by researchers from Jilin University in China. They said that these impact craters were previously unrecognized. The study said that new impact craters on the […]

The US space agency NASA has confirmed that a mysterious object that is orbiting Earth is not an asteroid. It said that the object is a five decades old rocket. The details about the orbiting object were confirmed by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. NASA issued a statement after top asteroid expert Paul Chodas suspected that […]

Many studies and models have found that low-lying atolls in the Pacific Ocean are vulnerable regions to climate change. Experts have been speculating that these areas will be submerged due to rising sea levels. However, over the past decades, experts have seen a puzzling fact.
