Science and technology, explained simply
SpaceX continues to prepare the Starship for its first test flight, which does not appear to take place this year. However, everyone is sure that preparations for landing on the moon are going according to plan. Bill Nelson, head of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), said that he is in constant contact with […]
December 7, NASA’s Orion spacecraft made its final flyby of the Moon before returning to Earth, and NASA has released some of the best photos taken from the spacecraft. Taken with a high-resolution camera (actually a heavily modified GoPro Hero 4) mounted on the tip of Orion’s solar arrays, these images show the spacecraft orbiting […]
Astronomers from Johns Hopkins University have created an interactive map of the universe that allows you to look at more than 200,000 galaxies. The map, which can be found on its own website, is one of the first times the public has had access to such a body of data. This data was previously available […]
The Boeing X-37B military space drone has completed a record-breaking flight that began in May 2020. The drone spent more than two years (908 days) in orbit as part of the Orbital Test Vehicle (OTV-6) mission. No one knows what he did. Mission OTV-6 Very little is known about Boeing’s unmanned space vehicle. We know […]
The D-RATS crew, made up of representatives from NASA and JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency), will spend a week in the Arizona desert, simulating a stay on the moon and testing prototypes of pressurized all-terrain vehicles. NASA continues to work on technologies that will enable a long-term human stay on the moon during future Artemis […]
NASA’s $324.5 million DART mission, which launched last year, is nearing its dramatic climax — on the night of September 27, one of the automated probes is expected to collide with the asteroid satellite Dimorphos at a speed of 6,258.56 m/s. This is the first attempt by mankind to deflect an astronomical object in this […]
The spacecraft found Martian rocks with the highest concentration of organic matter of any discovered. Scientists from the Perseverance rover team presented another major report on the spacecraft’s work on Mars. The rover was able to collect rock samples from one of the best places to look for ancient life on the Red Planet, they […]
Ukrainian scientists in their article, which they recently published, claim that they have seen unknown flying objects (UFOs) more than once. They were spotted in the sky over Kyiv. A preprint of the article was published on the Cornell University archive website arXiv, VICE reports. The research was carried out with the help of two […]
The National Science Foundation (NSF) of the USA summarized the first months of operation of the largest ground-based telescope for observing the Sun – the Solar Telescope named after Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope (DKIST) with a mirror with a diameter of 4.24 m. In honor of this, two spectacular images of the star, the […]
NASA has released an enhanced, detailed interactive Eyes on the Solar System with the ability to rewind time and watch the motion of the planets in real time. An updated version of NASA’s 3D map of the Solar System is now available on Eyes on the Solar System. Specialists have been developing this update for […]
