You can meditate on this huge rock garden. This photo was shared by the European Space Agency in August 2020. It is dramatic and reminiscent of Ansel Adams. This picture shows a small portion of the Noctis Labyrinthus — “labyrinth” of the night — near the intersection of Lus Chasma Valles Marineris — “grand canyon” […]

As per a recent study from the Australian National University (ANU), hydrogen generated from fossil fuels is much costlier, produces more greenhouse emissions, and increases the danger of generating stranded investments. Researchers examined the pollution as well as financial costs of manufacturing hydrogen using fossil fuels vs renewable power. “Blue hydrogen” is created using natural […]

Kamo’oalewa, a near-Earth glowing asteroid, could be a lost piece of Moon. Kamo’oalewa in Hawaiian means a celestial object that is moving. The asteroid can be seen every April and circles our Earth. However, there is no traditional path that if follows. Instead, researchers have said that it circles in a corkscrew-like trajectory. Also, it […]

According to a report issued on Tuesday, 5th October 2021, by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), global warming is poised to cause a global water catastrophe, and international organizations and countries have not done enough to prepare. According to the research, as of 2018, over 3.6 billion individuals did not have adequate access to water […]

Moon doesn’t have its own atmosphere. This is because it doesn’t have a magnetic field. Therefore, it is impossible to imagine that it could be habitable. Moon remains the only celestial object where humans have managed to set foot. Several world agencies including NASA want to set up a permanent base on Moon. This will […]

Fossilized footprints discovered in the United States may contain the solution to a long-unanswered issue for researchers: When did the very first humans arrive in the Americas after migrating from Asia and Africa? The tracks were discovered by researchers digging a trench in the gypsum soil on the western playa of the White Sands National […]

Researchers and colleagues from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) may have identified a three-star solar system. Astronomers from UNLV used a powerful Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) telescope to make this observation. They have observed a trio of dust rings around the three stars. According to researchers, this is critical for the formation […]

A set of three studies have given an insight into the understanding of cancer and the number of possible targets for treatment. Experts who have been involved in the decade-long study have analyzed sets of proteins in the body that trigger the dreaded disease. The findings of all three papers are the result of a […]

NASA has said that it will not be able to communicate with its Mars mission. The agency said that it will halt commanding its missions. It explained that communication will be halted because of the Sun blockade. It means that Earth and Mars will be on opposite sides. This will prevent the space agency from […]

SpaceX has promised to upgrade its spacecraft. It will improvise features to make the space tour more comfortable. SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said that there were several challenges that the Inspiration4 crew faced during their flight. One of the major challenges was related to the toilet. Musk acknowledged that the crew experienced difficulties in using […]

Talks about the ninth planet have reignited. Pluto was demoted in 2006 from the ninth planet. It was then said that Pluto was one of many dwarf planets. The person behind the theory that led to demote Pluto was Michael Brown. The astronomer has now said that a ninth planet could exist in the solar […]

After an unsuccessful attempt at collecting rock samples on Mars, NASA’s Perseverance rover has created a history. The US space agency has confirmed that the car-sized Perseverance rover has successfully a pencil-width core of rust-colored rock. The sample is sealed in an ultraclean airtight sample tube inside the rover. This is a major milestone in […]

Curiosity has completed nine years on Mars. It is a Mars rover. NASA launched the rover in November 2011 and it landed in August in the subsequent year. NASA has released a panorama shot taken by the rover to mark its ninth anniversary on Earth’s neighbor. The agency said that Curiosity is currently on the […]

Water is present on Mars. But water exists in the form of ice. Almost all water ice is present beneath the surface. Water is also available in vapor form in the atmosphere in a small quantity. Now a study has discovered that the snow on the Red Planet is dusty. Scientists want to determine how […]

Returning samples from Mars is a big challenge. NASA and several other space agencies are working in this direction. Finding the right design and a robust system is key to returning Mars samples. NASA is believed to be already working to develop a system that will bring Martian samples back. Japan has now joined the […]

Asteroids have always been a threat to Earth. This is the reason why researchers keep tracking potentially dangerous space rocks heading to earth. Once such an asteroid has been identified as 101955 Bennu. Though there is no immediate threat from this half-kilometer-wide asteroid, future generations will need to keep a close eye on it. The […]

NASA has captured a stunning view of Venus. The gleaming view was captured during a flyby of the Solar Orbiter Heliospheric Imager. SoloHI is a telescope. The Solar Orbiter flew by Venus. It made the closest approach of 7995 km of Venus which is the second planet from the Sun. The Solar Orbiter is a […]

Scientists have been trying to quantifying water molecules on Moon. It is a fact that water is present on the lunar surface. Water was first discovered in 1971 by the Apollo 14 mission of NASA. However, scientists are yet to quantifying the content. In a significant development, ISRO has claimed to pick up signals of […]

Juno is celebrating its tenth anniversary. It is a NASA spacecraft orbiting the planet Jupiter. It is still probing the solar system’s largest planet and its moons. It has offered dramatic glimpses of Jupiter and its moon. Jupiter is a massive gas giant. Juno was first proposed in 2003. It was launched on August 5, […]

Russia has blamed a software glitch that pushed the International Space Station out of control. Notably, the jet thrusters of a Russian module had reignited accidentally. This incident caused unexpected tilting and shifting of the ISS from its normal position. The rotating laboratory went out of control for a brief period. The ISS was pushed […]
