Science and technology, explained simply
Specialists of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration of the United States published amazing photos of the Cygnus cargo spacecraft of the American company Northrop Grumman on the social network X. The images were taken before Cygnus left the International Space Station on July 12 and burned up in the Earth’s atmosphere. The images from […]
NASA has released a new video showing the Lunar Gateway station in detail. The video offers a tour of the space station that will orbit the Moon starting with the Artemis IV mission in 2028. The video demonstrates the various modules and systems on board the station, including a powerful solar panel that will provide […]
Using data obtained by the Hubble and James Webb space telescopes, experts from the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration visualized the accumulation of interstellar gas and dust in the Eagle Nebula in the form of three-dimensional structures. The remnants of the central part of the Eagle Gas Dust Nebula in the constellation Cygnus, called […]
The MRO orbiter has found a disabled InSight lander among the Martian dust. With the help of NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO), a dead robot was seen on the surface of the Red Planet,writes Mashable. The main goal of the MRO mission is to observe the surface of Mars in search of evidence of the […]
Using the latest data and supercomputer power, NASA specialists created a video of a black hole falling into a black hole and flying around the event horizon. It would be a one-way ticket, so humanity is unlikely to ever see real footage of such a maneuver. NASA’s modeling gives an idea of incredible phenomena in […]
NASA and Nokia have teamed up to create cellular service on the Moon. This can help astronauts stay in touch, CNN writes. Currently, the astronauts communicate with each other by radio, but NASA plans to make a lunar communication system capable of supporting high-resolution video. The Space X rocket is to carry the 4G network […]
Boeing, which is responsible for developing the main stage of the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket, has announced significant staff reductions. The changes will affect both the main stage program and the Exploration Upper Stage program, a new rocket upper stage. According to the company, the reason for the cuts is “external factors” that are […]
The space debris was simply ejected from the station – it was supposed to burn up in the Earth’s atmosphere, but one of the fragments “survived” and broke through the roof and floor of a Florida resident’s two-story house. NASA experts immediately arrived at the scene and took the kilogram object for further investigation. The […]
For observers from Earth, the total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024, over a narrow strip of land from Mexico to Canada lasted about three minutes, but from space, it looked much larger and longer. A handful of astronauts and cosmonauts could watch the Moon’s shadow move across the face of the Earth for a […]
The US National Aeronautics and Space Administration has published a photo of the HALO module (Habitation and Logistics Outpost), which will become the “heart” of the Gateway lunar orbital station. Engineers of the Franco-Italian company Thales Alenia Space have completed all welding work. In the near future, the module will undergo a series of tests, […]
