After waiting for decades for technology to catch up, NASA has finally decided to open one of the lunar samples an Apollo mission brought back to Earth from the Moon. According to the space agency, studying the sample would help prepare its upcoming Moon mission under the Artemis program.
NASA’s impact monitoring system has detected the largest and most dangerous asteroid that could hit Earth.
NASA warned that the asteroid known as Bennu has a chance of hitting Earth and destroying a large portion of the planet in the future. According to the space agency, this massive asteroid can cause almost 80 potential impact events on Earth.
A former NASA astronaut recalled the incident when the Apollo 9 spacecraft almost got hit by an asteroid. According to the astronaut, the near-miss with the space rock happened as it passed through the Apollo module’s altitude.
The latest image captured by NASA’s orbiting satellite shows the level of destruction left by the Kincade Fire in California. The photo taken from space shows the massive area destroyed by the wildfire.
A controversial study claimed that the universe might actually be curved like an enclosed sphere instead of being flat as widely believed by the scientific community. The authors of the study noted that their findings call for a drastic need to rethink current cosmological models.
NASA announced that it intends to increase the length of time astronauts stay aboard the International Space Station (ISS) in order to prepare for a future human expedition to Mars. According to NASA, it plans to use the ISS as an effective training ground for long-term space missions.
The Hubble Space Telescope operated by NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) was able to capture a remarkable photo of a cluster of galaxies. According to the space agencies, these galaxies are bound to one another due to their gravitational forces.
A UFO expert claimed that NASA was able to photograph a light source that is of alien origin on Mars. The expert speculated that the light may have been produced by alien creatures that live below the Martian surface.
NASA has spotted an asteroid that will come dangerously close to Earth next week. If the approaching asteroid gets slightly nudged off its present course, it could end up hitting the planet.
The discovery of a new class of black holes is causing astronomers to rethink their understanding of these massive cosmic objects. In a new study, a team of astronomers unveiled details of the smallest black hole ever discovered.
NASA announced that a rare cosmic event will take place next week. During the event, which can be viewed from Earth, Mercury will pass directly in front of the Sun.
The Hubble Space Telescope operated by NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) has captured a stunning photo of newborn stars. According to the space agencies, the stars were formed by the concentration of gas and dust within the region.
NASA's impact monitoring system detected a massive asteroid that has a non-zero impact probability with Earth five years from now.
NASA recently revealed that supermassive black holes, or those that are hundreds to millions of times more massive than the Sun, exist almost everywhere in the universe. According to the agency, these monstrous cosmic objects can be found in nearly every galaxy.
An expert warned that Earth would have little time to react if a space rock from the asteroid belt gets dislodged from its orbit and heads toward Earth. If the asteroid is big enough, it could cause an impact event that could trigger mass extinctions on the planet.
NASA recently released a new collection showing stunning images taken by the Chandra X-ray Observatory. Many of the images include various supernova remnants as well as other cosmic objects.
NASA warned that a massive asteroid will approach Earth on Sunday. According to the agency’s Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS), the approaching asteroid is bigger than the Empire State building.
NASA recently released a haunting image of a cosmic object that astronomers refer to as a ghostly remnant of a supernova.
Astronomers from NASA discovered that the second interstellar comet to enter the Solar System is carrying water. The astronomers noted that this discovery could shed light on the formation of Earth-like planets in other star systems.
While aboard the International Space Station (ISS), NASA astronaut Andrew Morgan was able to take photos of the Kincade wildfires currently raging in California. According to recent updates, the Kincade Fire has already burned almost 78,000 acres of land.
Two scientists from NASA revealed the planned activities for the two astronauts the agency will send to the Moon as part of its Artemis program. According to the scientists, the astronauts will spend almost a week on the lunar surface.
