Science and technology, explained simply
The user @MKBHD asked on social network X whether it was possible to film the solar eclipse on a smartphone, and NASA representatives answered this question. On Monday, April 8, at 14:07 EST, a solar eclipse is expected when the Moon passes in front of the Sun. This event will cross North America, passing over […]
On Monday, April 8, North America will witness a spectacular astronomical phenomenon – a total solar eclipse that will shroud regions and cities from the Pacific coast of Mexico to the eastern tip of Canada in darkness. This rare event, which occurs no more than once every few decades in a particular location, invites both […]
NASA has announced that three companies – Intuitive Machines, Lunar Outpost, and Venturi Astrolab – are developing their own lunar vehicles (LTVs). These vehicles for the Artemis mission will allow astronauts to explore the south pole of the Moon, where there may be water. NASA’s plans include long expeditions during which astronauts will study different […]
Scientists will send rockets into the upper layers of the Earth’s atmosphere when part of our planet is plunged into complete darkness. On April 8, some parts of North America will be plunged into darkness as the Moon will completely cover the Sun during a total solar eclipse. NASA scientists are going to take full […]
The US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is testing a snake-like drone that is planned to be sent to Saturn’s moon Enceladus in search of life. This was reported by TechCrunch. The snake robot Exobiology Extant Life Surveyor (EELS) is planned to be used to study the oceans under the lunar crust. This snake-like […]
On the night of March 24-25, a partial lunar eclipse will occur, and less than three weeks later, on April 8, a total solar eclipse will occur when the Moon will cover our luminary. This was reported by iflscience. These astronomical events will be observed by thousands of people, but both eclipses will be best […]
Nikon, together with the NASA space agency, is creating a special camera that will be used by astronauts during the Artemis III mission, which aims to return humans to the moon. The camera is called HULC (Handheld Universal Lunar Camera) and is a modified version of the flagship Nikon Z9 mirrorless camera with Nikkor lenses. […]
During the close approach of 2008 OS7 to the Earth on February 2, the Deep Space Network’s planetary radar collected the first detailed images of the stadium-sized asteroid. On February 2, a large asteroid flew safely past the Earth at a distance of approximately 1.8 million miles (2.9 million kilometers, or 7.5 times the distance […]
NASA astronaut Jasmine Mogbeli has taken pictures of the green aurora from the International Space Station (ISS), Space reports. “The aurora borealis is spectacular from here” Jasmine Mogbeli Mogbeli saw the aurora on February 15. She noted that it was one of the highlights of her space mission. The Aurora Borealis occurs on Earth when […]
Approximately 66 million years ago, a giant asteroid fell to Earth, forming the Chicxulub crater. The dinosaurs were not warned about the approach of this terrible threat. This is reported by the ScienceAlert portal. If such an event were to occur today, a shock wave 2 million times more powerful than a hydrogen bomb would […]
