NASA and Russia have less than two months to decide whether to abandon $100 billion International Space Station (ISS) for a period of time following the failure of the Russian Soyuz rocket last month.
If you are slow, you would blast. This could be the status of several old stars, or white dwarfs, in our Milky Way galaxy and they may scatter throughout our galaxy as ticking time bombs waiting to explode as Type Ia supernova.
NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has captured the sharpest images ever taken from space of the Apollo 12, 14 and 17 landing sites. Images show the twists and turns of the paths made when the astronauts explored the lunar surface.
Recent pictures taken by a NASA's orbiting camera has revealed to the world, clearest evidence so far of the fact that man went to the moon 40 years ago when the U.S. spaceflight touched down on the moon's surface.
NASA's Earth Observatory has released a photo of the border between India and Pakistan taken from the International Space Station. The striking orange line depicting the hostile Asian border, however, is not a product of photoshop. This is the fenced and floodlit border zone between India and Pakistan. The fence is designed to discourage smuggling and arms trafficking and shows how divided the two nations are.
NASA has released sharpest images ever taken from space of the Apollo 12, 14 and 17 landing sites, showing the twists and turns of the paths made when the astronauts explored the lunar surface.
The cameras which are overseen by an Arizona State University professor have captured the sharpest images ever taken from orbit of three Apollo landing sites.
NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) captured the sharpest images ever taken from space of the Apollo 12, 14 and 17 landing sites. The pictures show the tacks and debris left by astronauts and their lunar rovers on the moon's surface in the 1960's and 1970's.
GRAIL mission spacecraft set to be launched from Florida’s Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.
Researchers at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CFA) suggest that some old stars are held together by their super-fast spins and can explode as supernovae once their rapid spins slow down.
New interactive Internet tool allows users to explore the solar system, follow space missions.
A NASA spacecraft has snapped some of the sharpest ever images released of the surface of the moon, showing even the tire paths left by astronauts Alan Shepard and Edgar Mitchell on both Apollo 14 moon walks decades ago.
White dwarf stars can explode as supernovae when their spinning slows down.
NASA mission managers in Houston are currently working on contingency plans, as both Russia and the U.S. have said that temporarily abandoning the $100 billion ISS is a possibility.
NASA shows off new images of the Apollo missions from its Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft.
Astronauts on board the International Space Station (ISS), that was scheduled to launch in late September, have held the temporary shutting down of the shuttle while details of the failed Russian Launch are being figured out.
NASA will look to discover how the moon was formed and how it has evolved.
NASA is gearing up for Thursday’s launch of its twin lunar orbiters that will map the moon's gravity in unparalleled detail. The twin lunar probes, Graili-A and Graili-B, are scheduled to lift-off Thursday, Sept. 8 between 5:37 AM and 6:16 AM (Arizona time) from Cape Canaveral, Florida.
Wolfgang Wagner has resigned as editor of the peer-reviewed journal, Remote Sensing, after it published a hotly disputed article challenging claims of manmade climate change.
The moon has fascinated mankind for centuries and has been studied by humans for hundreds of years, but Earth's natural satellite is still shrouded in many mysteries.
Space junk scattered in Earth's orbit is at critical level, and coupled with NASA's dwindling budget, threatens spacecraft and satellites in orbit, according to a report recently released by the National Research Council.
There might not be a concrete known plan or date as to when the human beings can finally go to mars and come, but its certain that getting there and getting back is going to take years. And that would obviously require some food along the way.
