The NASA project NEOWISE, which has given astronomers a detailed view of near-Earth objects – some of which could strike the Earth – ended its mission and burned on reentering the atmosphere after over a decade. On a clear night, the sky is full of bright objects –... by admin | Dec 3, 2024 | astonomy, Nasa, News, radio bursts, space, Space News, The Conversation
Slowly repeating bursts of intense radio waves from space have puzzled astronomers since they were discovered in 2022. In new research, we have for the first time tracked one of these pulsating signals back to its source: a common kind of lightweight star called a red... by admin | Dec 2, 2024 | Black holes, Galaxies, Galaxy, Little Red Dots, Nasa, News, space, Space News, The Conversation
Astronomers exploring the faraway universe with the James Webb Space Telescope, NASA’s most powerful telescope, have found a class of galaxies that challenges even the most skillful creatures in mimicry – like the mimic octopus. This creature can impersonate other... by admin | Dec 2, 2024 | Black holes, naked singularities, Nasa, News, quantum, space, Space News, The Conversation
Albert Einstein’s theory of gravity, general relativity, is famously incomplete. As proven by physics Nobel laureate Roger Penrose, when matter collapses under its own gravitational pull, the result is a “singularity” – a point of infinite density or curvature. At a... by admin | Nov 30, 2024 | Dragonfly, Industry News, Nasa, News, Space News, SpaceX, Titan
Elon Musk’s SpaceX has received a new contract to perform a task it hasn’t yet successfully managed. It’s done something similar(ish), but that doesn’t make this any less remarkable. The launch company has been awarded a NASA services contract to ship Dragonfly to its... by admin | Nov 30, 2024 | Mars, Nasa, News, planet, space, Space News, The Conversation, water
Water is ubiquitous on Earth – about 70% of Earth’s surface is covered by the stuff. Water is in the air, on the surface and inside rocks. Geologic evidence suggests water has been stable on Earth since about 4.3 billion years ago. The history of water on early Mars...
