Science and technology, explained simply
The Hubble Space Telescope measured the mass and diameter of the exoplanet LTT 1445Ac during the transit of the parent star’s disk. The study was published in The Astronomical Journal. Hubble observations have shown that the diameter of LTT 1445Ac is 1.07 times larger than the diameter of the Earth. The planet’s mass is 1.3 […]
Just 22 light-years away, orbiting a small red dwarf star, there is a tiny world that scientists from the United States have confirmed is the closest known Earth-sized world to our solar system. It is called LTT 1445 Ac, an exoplanet with a mass 1.37 times that of the Earth and 1.07 times the radius […]
An unexpected object has been added to the list of man-made satellites. On November 2, 2023, during a spacewalk from the International Space Station (ISS), NASA astronauts Jasmine Mogbeli and Loral O’Hara dropped a bag of instruments that now orbits our planet with a visual magnitude of about 6. This means that it is slightly […]
NASA has announced a new streaming service called NASA+, which will be available on most major platforms next week. It will be a completely free service, with no subscription fees, and you won’t have to watch ads. NASA+ will be available from November 8. The space agency announced the release of its upcoming streaming service […]
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 […]
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, […]
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 […]
While the Blue Origin spacecraft is able to take space tourists to an altitude of 100 km, which is the beginning of space, and the Virgin Galactic spaceplane to an altitude of 80 km, which is almost outer space, Space Perspective offers a slightly different experience. At the end of 2024, the US company plans […]
In microgravity, for example, when you are on the ISS, many familiar things become impossible. For example, you can’t take a coffee maker and pour yourself a cup of drink, because the liquid won’t flow into the cup, but will start to escape in the form of a flying ball. But the knowledge of physics […]
A Vodafone engineer named Jose Guevara made history by becoming the first person to receive a space voice call over the 5G Internet. With this call, Vodafone has successfully completed the testing of space calls with satellite developer and manufacturer AST SpaceMobile. Today, some smartphones already offer satellite communications, but only in the form of […]
