Science and technology, explained simply
NASA and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) are planning to launch the world’s first wooden satellite into space to make spaceflight more sustainable. According to space agencies, LignoSat, a coffee-cup-sized satellite made of magnolia wood, is scheduled to be launched into Earth orbit by the summer of 2024. Wood doesn’t burn or rot in […]
SpaceX continues preparations for a new Starship launch attempt, and the Starship IFT-2 mission is likely to launch this Friday, November 17. At least, CEO Elon Musk assured on his X/Twitter that “the launch permit will be available in time for the launch on Friday.” New date for the second launch of Starship Back in […]
On November 12, 2023, SpaceX launched the SES O3b mPOWER mission, which launched two communications satellites into Medium Earth Orbit (MEO), Space reports. A Falcon 9 rocket carrying the satellites was launched from the Cape Canaveral Spaceport in Florida at 23:08 Kyiv time. The first stage of the Falcon 9 returned to Earth and landed […]
The European Space Agency and two private companies have teamed up to create a replacement for the International Space Station. The European Space Agency (ESA), as well as European company Airbus Defense and Space and American Voyager Space, have signed a technology agreement aimed at creating a new space station Starlab in orbit. It is […]
SpaceX could launch a Starship test flight as early as next week if it receives regulatory approval, according to a recent post on social media. The world’s largest rocket, the Starship, is currently being developed in Boca Chica, Texas, and, as with its first test flight in April, SpaceX is ready to launch if it […]
NASA scientists have presented an amazing image of the protostellar jet HH212, located in the constellation Orion. This photo, taken with the James Webb Space Telescope, shows the Sun’s unusually violent birth and growth. The image shows powerful gas emissions and jets of energy, which is a characteristic phenomenon during the birth of stars. The […]
Ufologists again showed the corpses of two “real aliens” in the Mexican Congress with new evidence that they are indeed real.

Researchers at the University of Alberta have developed a technique to create insulin-producing pancreatic cells from a patient’s own stem cells, which could lead to diabetes treatment without the need for injections. The process, called “directed differentiation,” involves reprogramming stem cells from the patient’s blood and directing them to turn into pancreatic cells capable of […]
The SWOT spacecraft has completed the first complete study of the planet’s water surface. NASA scientists used SWOT data to create a map of water on Earth, which shows the different surface levels of the planet’s oceans, freshwater lakes and rivers. These data were collected during the spacecraft’s first full 21-day scientific mission from July […]
