Though we’re still reeling from the first images of distant galaxies taken by the James Webb Space Telescope, we can’t overlook the contributions of our old faithful friend Hubble. Researchers share stunning images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope every week, and this week’s image shows a trio of galactic objects of varying different types….
Future moon explorers could make a cozy home base away from the alternately freezing and hot conditions of the lunar surface by sheltering in lunar pits. These pits stay at a consistent and comfortable temperature, according to new research. Researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles have found that within pits on the moon’s…
Venus is not an inviting planet to visit. From the tremendously high pressure at its surface to its scorching temperatures hotter than an oven, the planet is not accommodating to visitors, be they human or robotic. Despite these challenges, however, there are no less than three upcoming missions to Venus planned by NASA and the…
Particles from a Chinese language rocket has made an uncontrolled re-entry into Earth’s environment over Southeast Asia. A lot of the wreckage would have burned up within the environment because it fell to Earth and there are not any experiences of accidents brought on by the particles, however the incident has been condemned by house…
If you are starting to gather a number of handy smart devices around your home, you may be wondering how secure a smart home is and if anyone could potentially hack it. Could someone else be looking through your security camera? Could they gain control of devices like smart plugs — or even smart door…
NASA has a new tool for monitoring Earth’s climate, with the EMIT instrument on board the International Space Station (ISS) taking its first measurements this week. The Earth Surface Mineral Dust Source Investigation mission maps the movements of dust particles across the planet to help understand how they affect temperatures. EMIT (Earth Surface Mineral Dust…
The moon is no easy place for a little rover to explore — from its sharp, glass-like dust which rips up components to the pockmarks and craters which cover its surface and which a rover has to maneuver over, it’s a challenging place to move around. To make sure its upcoming VIPER rover is ready…
The sun goes through a regular 11-year cycle of activity, sometimes becoming more active and sometimes less. We’re going through an upswing of its current cycle, called Solar Cycle 25, in which the sun is predicted to be more active. But so far in this cycle, the sun’s activity is even exceeding these predictions. As…
This month saw a very special Martian anniversary, as NASA celebrated 25 years since the Pathfinder mission touched down on Mars. This mission included the first ever rover which explored Mars, called Sojourner, and opened the door to modern Mars exploration. Launched in December 1996, the Pathfinder spacecraft landed a base station along with a…
The James Webb firsts keep coming, with the new space telescope having recently spotted what could be the most distant galaxy ever observed. Now, it may have spotted its first supernova. The potential supernova spotted by the James Webb Space Telescope.pace Telescope Science Institute As reported by Inverse, researchers using Webb believe they have observed…
