The China National Space Administration (CNSA) originally wanted to send turtles to the dark side of the Moon as part of its lunar exploration program. The animals would have been part of the experiments carried by the agency’s Chang’e 4 mission.
A new study revealed that Milky Way has already devoured a number of galaxies as it’s currently in the process of colliding and merging with another galaxy.
NASA has spotted an asteroid that will dangerously approach Earth at a distance much closer than the Moon. If the approaching asteroid ends up hitting the planet, it will most likely create a huge explosion in the sky.
NASA’s asteroid tracker has detected a space rock that’s currently headed towards Earth. According to the space agency’s Center for Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS), the asteroid is approaching Earth at a speed of almost 24,000 miles per hour.
A particle physicist created an online tool that can calculate what would happen to massive cosmic objects if they get sucked into a black hole. The calculator also revealed the unimaginable energy that would be produced by a collision between Milky Way’s black hole and Earth.
After carrying out initial investigations, experts concluded that the fireballs that rained down in Chile last month were not meteorites. Since it is not yet clear what caused the fireballs, they are currently being referred to as unidentified flying objects (UFO).
NASA’s asteroid tracker has detected a total of seven asteroids that will approach Earth this weekend. Based on the sizes of the incoming asteroids, most of them will most likely explode in the sky if they end up colliding with Earth.
The host of NASA’s podcast “On a Mission” admitted in a recent episode that Earth is in the middle of a cosmic shooting gallery of buzzing asteroids. The host also noted that there are yet-to-be-identified monster asteroids in space that are big enough to wipe out cities, countries and even the entire planet.
NASA has officially unveiled the details of the new spacesuits that astronauts will use for the agency’s upcoming Artemis missions. These will be the suits that the astronauts will wear when they explore the Moon and Mars.
A team of astronomers revealed in a new study that the source of repeating alien signals could be the aftermath of the collision between two neutron stars. The astronomers noted that these signals, also known as fast radio bursts (FRB), may have been produced by starquakes.
NASA was able to capture a stunning image of the center of the Milky Way galaxy using its Spitzer Space Telescope. According to the agency, it will be able to take much better photos of space through Spitzer’s successor, the James Webb Space Telescope.
NASA has spotted a massive asteroid that’s currently headed for Earth. According to the agency’s Center for Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS), the approaching asteroid is bigger than the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt.
Astronauts aboard NASA’s International Space Station (ISS) made history after successfully growing meat in space for the first time. The experiment was made possible using a special 3D printer.
A former commander of NASA’s International Space Station (ISS) revealed exactly what would happen to humans if they venture out into space without a spacesuit. According to the astronaut, going out into space unprotected will lead to a very painful and horrifying death.
NASA has detected one of the biggest asteroids in its tracker moving towards Earth.
NASA is currently monitoring two asteroids that are currently heading towards Earth. If these asteroids hit the planet, they’ll most likely cause a powerful explosion in the air.
An environmental scientist who is admired by Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates doesn’t like Elon Musk’s plan to colonize Mars. According to the scientist, the SpaceX CEO is delusional for wanting to leave Earth.
The research scientist and official representative for famed UFOlogist Billy Meier claimed that the information collected by NASA regarding the dangerous asteroid Apophis was wrong. According to the scientist, the space agency previously had inaccurate calculations and predictions regarding the asteroid’s potential Earth impact.
Astronomers were able to peek inside the inner structure of a small cosmic cluster that contains two newborn stars. According to the astronomers, the stars are nourished by the pretzel-like disks around them.
A history expert provided a detailed account of the horrible deaths the dinosaurs went through seconds after Earth was hit by a massive asteroid 66 million years ago. Many of the large animals were boiled alive, crushed to death and pelted by molten rocks during the catastrophic event.
The Draconid meteor shower is about to enter its peak, which means sky gazers will be in for a treat this week. During the shower’s peak, the Draconids are expected to showcase about 10 meteors per hour.
A team of astronomers has discovered 20 new moons orbiting Saturn. Through the latest discovery, Saturn has now overtaken Jupiter as the planet with the most number of moons in the Solar System.
