NASA’s astronauts celebrated the current season of the MLB World Series by playing baseball inside the International Space Station (ISS).
NASA’s asteroid tracking system has spotted three space rocks that are expected to approach Earth this weekend. According to the data gathered by the agency’s Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS), the biggest asteroid in the group is wider than the wingspan of a Boeing 747 plane.
Scientists were able to detect traces of an element commonly used in fireworks in the aftermath left by the collision of two stars. According to the scientists, their discovery could shed new light on the cosmic origins of heavy elements.
Astronomers using NASA’s space telescopes were able to discover traces of a violent collision between two exoplanets in a distant star system. According to experts, a similar collision between Earth and a Mars-sized object that occurred billions of years ago led to the formation of the Moon.
A new study claimed that a supernova that occurred millions of years ago triggered an important atmospheric event on Earth that helped in the evolution of humans. According to the study, the ancient supernova caused environmental conditions that led to humans walking on two legs.
NASA’s Curiosity rover has taken a new selfie on Mars. The photo was taken shortly after the rover conducted an important experiment aimed at identifying traces of life-forming compounds on the Red Planet.
NASA has detected the biggest asteroid to approach Earth this month. The asteroid, which is larger than the tallest man-made structure in the world, can easily wipe out an entire major city if it ends up colliding with Earth.
A scientist has identified a massive asteroid that’s powerful enough to wipe out an entire city or even a state. The scientist also noted that initial predictions indicated that this asteroid has a chance of hitting Earth in less than 10 years from now.
A team of astronomers stumbled upon a never-before-seen monster galaxy that they referred to as a cosmic Yeti. The discovery marks the first evidence of monster galaxies, which the scientific community previously regarded as myths.
A new scientific study discussed the possible existence of wormholes and how they can be detected. For the study, the authors looked at a potential wormhole in the supermassive black hole sitting at the heart of the Milky Way galaxy.
NASA’s asteroid monitoring system has detected three asteroids that are currently approaching Earth. Given the sizes of the approaching asteroids, they could cause powerful explosions in the atmosphere if they collide with the planet.
Scientists believe that gravitational forces and other factors in space could affect the orbits of planets, which means there’s a chance that Mars could collide with Earth. If this happens, the resulting impact would destroy the entire planet.
A scientific advisory group for NASA proposed to the space agency that a mission to Venus is possible even with today’s technology. According to the group, visiting Venus would provide valuable information regarding its possible similarities with Earth.
