Science and technology, explained simply
As an important step towards creating the conditions for human missions to Mars and beyond, NASA has chosen deep sleep technology for development. The Studying Torpor in Animals for Space-health in Humans (STASH) experiment, developed by researchers from Fauna Bio Inc. aims to study the possibility of inducing “torpor” in humans to reduce health risks […]
The Hubble Space Telescope has taken a photo of a 250 thousand meter long star bridge. light years, stretching between two galaxies from the Arp 295 group, NASA reports. When galaxies are so close that they gravitationally affect each other’s shape, they are called interacting galaxies. The process of interaction takes place over billions […]
The Jezero crater in the northern part of Mars, formed by a meteorite, once contained a huge lake and a river delta, which gives hope for finding remnants of life in the past. According to Science Daily, this was confirmed by NASA’s Mars Perseverance rover using a special radar. Over the centuries, sedimentation and erosion […]
In 2021, a historic event took place on Mars: aviation appeared on it. It was Ingenuity – literally a smartphone with a propeller – and this Martian helicopter has been traveling around Mars for the past three years. But he recently flew a flight: at the end of his 72nd flight, he damaged the propeller […]
This was the second test of the Space Launch System’s engine in less than a week. On January 23, NASA completed the second test of the RS-25 engine, which will power the world’s most powerful Space Launch System (SLS) rocket during the Artemis-5 mission to the Moon. The test lasted approximately 8 minutes and was […]
Scientists have detected an asteroid that flew over the German capital before it burst into flames over the Earth. It has been possible to predict a collision with a celestial body only 8 times in history. The asteroid, named 2024 BXI, was first discovered by Hungarian astronomer Christian Sarnecki. He identified the space rock using […]
A recent NASA satellite photo taken over Canada provides a unique opportunity to look at the Aurora Borealis in infrared light. The image was acquired by the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) instrument aboard the NASA/NOAA National Polar Orbiting Partnership satellite. The VIIRS instrument, sensitive to emission of faint light in a broad spectral […]
NASA opened a container with samples of the asteroid Bennu after several months of attempts and showed a photo of the filling. The image shows the rock that the OSIRIS-REx probe took from the asteroid. According to OSIRIS-REx team member Lindsay Keller, the scientists examined the samples almost at the atomic level. The asteroid Bennu, […]
NASA astronomers have discovered an unexpected “signal” coming from outside our galaxy that they cannot explain. This was reported by Science Alert. According to Francis Reddy of NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, it was “an unexpected and as yet unexplained feature outside our galaxy.” The powerful Fermi Space Telescope can detect gamma rays, which are […]
On January 12, NASA and Lockheed Martin officially unveiled the X-59 experimental quiet supersonic aircraft. Its main difference is the absence of a sound effect during supersonic flight. With the help of the experimental aircraft, NASA plans to pave the way for a new generation of commercial supersonic aircraft. “This is a great achievement that […]
