Scientists believe that genetic engineering could enable human colonies on Mars to survive. They believe that humans may need to alter their DNA in order to survive the harsh conditions of the Red Planet and space.
The planet Venus will pass in between the Sun and the Earth during a cosmic event known as the inferior conjunction. According to astronomers, the shape of Venus is expected to change in the days leading up to the event.
Researchers have successfully developed and tested a new type of solar sail that’s lighter than the current models. According to the researchers, the new solar sail could be used to travel across space and into another star system.
NASA’s automated asteroid tracking system is currently monitoring a mountain-sized asteroid that’s approaching Earth. As indicated in the data collected by the agency, the approaching object is classified as a potentially hazardous asteroid that’s following an Earth-crossing natural orbit.
Scientists studying how mud moves from volcanoes on Mars learned that it behaves similar to boiling toothpaste. They believe their findings could affect how geographical studies are conducted on the Red Planet.
The U.S. Space Force has awarded Northrop Grumman with a $2.37-billion contract to develop defense satellites. These satellites will serve as early warning systems for incoming missiles.
As NASA prepares to return to the Moon and send a mission to Mars, the agency released a set of guidelines for activities in space. Known as the Artemis Accords, the agreement aims to establish a set of rules aimed at regulating the behavior of agencies and private companies in space.
NASA’s asteroid tracking system is monitoring a near-Earth object that’s currently approaching the planet. According to the data collected by the agency, the asteroid will intersect Earth’s orbit during its upcoming approach.
A new study has revealed one of the long-term effects of living in space. According to the authors of the study, they detected microbial changes within astronauts who have lived aboard the International Space Station (ISS) for a long period of time.
NASA has spotted a total of three near-Earth asteroids that will fly past the planet on Monday (May 18). According to the data collected by the agency, one of the approaching asteroids is almost as big as the Great Pyramid of Giza.
NASA has spotted an asteroid bigger than the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy that’s expected to fly past Earth on Saturday (May 16). According to the agency’s asteroid database, this massive near-Earth object is not the only space rock that will approach the planet this weekend.
Scientists explained how clouds or massive clumps of cosmic material form around black holes.
A spacecraft recently launched by NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) could be used to closely study the fragmenting comet known as ATLAS.
NASA’s Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) has detected two asteroids that are currently approaching Earth.
The U.S. Space Force has unrolled specialized career tracks that will train its operators in the field of space-based warfare.
NASA has detected two asteroids that are expected to fly past Earth on Thursday.
Researchers of the European Space Agency (ESA) recently came across new evidence of an active eruption of vapor plumes on the surface of Jupiter’s icy moon Europa. This finding could help future missions in studying the potentially habitable subsurface ocean of the moon.
A study has identified a new health risk among astronauts caused by space travel. According to the authors of the study, spending time in space triggers changes in the body that could affect the heart health of astronauts.
NASA’s high-flying telescope was able to observe the blue-tinted haze surrounding the planet Pluto. Through the telescope’s observations, NASA was able to understand how the haze forms in Pluto’s atmosphere.
SpaceX has released a free online simulator that provides space enthusiasts with the opportunity to fly a spaceship. Specifically, the simulator shows what it’s like to dock SpaceX’s Crew Dragon capsule at the International Space Station (ISS).
