Science and technology, explained simply
It seems that low gravity has its advantages, including increased resistance to cold. Plants are able to survive in low-gravity conditions, such as on the Moon, according to the results of an important experiment described in two articles in the journals Microgravity Science and Technology and Acta Astronautica, IFLScience writes. Farm on the Moon When […]
Scientists from NASA’s George Marshall Space Flight Center have shown some eerie images captured by their cameras watching meteors in the night sky. NASA has shared a series of mysterious and spooky images for Halloween. Some of them are very easy to solve, for example, one of the pictures clearly shows a frog. The rest, […]
On the night of Halloween, NASA collected twelve photos of space objects in which they look like ghosts, witches, ghouls, zombies, and Halloween pumpkins. You can get scared together thanks to Space.com. The face of a ghost on Jupiter NASA’s Juno spacecraft captured a terrifying “face” on Jupiter during a recent flyby of the giant […]
Scientists have uncovered the secrets of MSH 15-52, one of the most amazing pulsar nebulae, also known as the “cosmic hand” or “hand of God”. With the help of two powerful X-ray telescopes, the scientists were able to visualize the “bones” in the ghostly hand, which are magnetic fields. The NASA Chandra X-ray Observatory and […]
Soon, NASA will demonstrate a laser communication system between ground objects and the International Space Station (ISS). This technology will increase the data transfer rate by 100 times compared to current capabilities, paving the way for a new standard of communication in deep space. The system is known as the Integrated Laser Communications Relay Demonstration […]
On board the International Space Station, which orbits the Earth at an altitude of about 400 kilometers above the planet’s surface, scientists have for the first time cultivated and grown mouse embryos in microgravity. The results of the experiment, designed and led by molecular biologist Teruhiko Wakayama of Yamanashi University, showed that mouse embryos can, […]
On October 29, 2023, SpaceX launched 22 Starlink Internet satellites into orbit from the Vandenberg Space Force Complex in California, Space reports. The Falcon 9 rocket was launched at 11:00 a.m. Kyiv time. The first stage of the Falcon 9 returned to Earth about 8.5 minutes after launch on the automatic platform Of Course I […]
NASA has published an image of the pair interaction of galaxies Arp-Madore 2339-661, which is associated with the dancing of supermassive space objects. Photo taken by the Hubble Space Telescope (NASA/ESA). The two clearly defined galaxies are NGC 7733 (smaller, bottom right) and NGC 7734 (larger, top left). The third galaxy is now called NGC […]
NASA has shown how it is assembling the first lunar spacecraft for astronauts in 50 years, the Orion, for the Artemis 2 project, which is scheduled to fly around the moon in 2024 with a crew of four. On October 19, the spacecraft was connected to the service module. In the future, it will undergo […]
SpaceX will send secret Galileo satellites into orbit. The company signed a corresponding agreement with the European Space Agency. The European Space Agency stopped cooperating with Russia after the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. At the same time, the commissioning of the Ariane 6 rocket is constantly postponed. In this regard, Europe has only one candidate […]
