Science and technology, explained simply
Recently, the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration showed the first image of a habitation module that could become the first permanent human base on the Moon. The module is called Multi-Purpose Habitat (MPH). The “multi-purpose habitat”, which looks like a ten-meter-long cylindrical structure with telescopic supports and solar panels, was developed by the Franco-Italian […]
Breathtaking photos of the Blue Marble-like Earth surrounded by the black abyss of space were taken by the first ultra-high-resolution camera orbiting our planet. As a result, the footage shows a bright blue planet surrounded by blackness, the Daily Mail reports. The photo was taken using a 360-degree measurement launched into space by a private […]
Astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) have witnessed a Russian cargo ship burning up in the Earth’s atmosphere, Space reports. The Russian Progress MS-23 cargo spacecraft lifted off from the ISS on November 29, carrying old equipment and household waste that is no longer needed on the station. Only 4 hours after Progress MS-23 […]
The US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has shared the latest news from Mars. NASA’s Odyssey orbiter captured an unusual view of the Mars horizon with a camera. The department itself called the photos “stunning.” The images were taken from an altitude of approximately 400 kilometers above the surface of Mars, at about the […]
SpaceX has launched 23 more Starlink satellites into orbit, adding to its ever-growing Internet mega constellation, Space reports. A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket carrying Starlink satellites was launched from Cape Canaveral Spaceport in Florida at 06:20 Kyiv time. The first stage of the Falcon 9 returned to Earth about 8.5 minutes after launch. It landed […]
The James Webb Space Telescope has captured a picture of a glowing cloud surrounding a newborn star, Space.com reports. This is the so-called Herbig-Aro object, which is formed when stellar wind and gas jets burst out of newborn stars, causing shock waves. They crash at high speeds into the gas and dust from which the […]
Astronauts have problems with their finger nails during spacewalks. Space is not the most comfortable environment for humans. If there are no normal earthly conditions, including the usual gravity, then a person begins to experience health problems. First of all, it concerns the loss of bone and muscle density. Studies show that another disadvantage of […]
NASA has announced that two scientific spacecraft will travel to Mars in August 2024 aboard a Blue Origin rocket owned by Jeff Bezos. This decision apparently came about after Elon Musk’s SpaceX encountered difficulties in its attempts to deliver Falcon Heavy rockets to Mars orbit. Initially, SpaceX planned to deliver NASA’s spacecraft to Mars in […]
Researchers from the Telescope Array have detected an ultra-high energy cosmic ray (UHECR) with an energy of approximately 244 exa-electron volts, or about 40 Joules. Gizmodo writes about it. According to the researchers, this is one of the highest energy levels ever observed for cosmic rays. It is about a million times higher than what […]
SpaceX launched 23 more Starlink Internet satellites into orbit from Florida on the morning of November 22, Space reports. The SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket was launched from Cape Canaveral Spaceport in Florida at 09:47 Kyiv time. The rocket’s first stage landed on the A Shortfall of Gravitas automatic platform in the Atlantic Ocean in about […]
