Voyager 1 and 2 are two spacecraft that have been traveling through space for over 47 years. They have been exploring the vast cosmos and sending back valuable data. But now, they are facing a big problem. Their power is running out. To keep them going, NASA engineers have had to turn off some of th
Imagine a robot named Athena, standing tall at 15 feet. Its mission is to touch down on the moon's surface. This isn't just any landing. It's a big deal because if Athena succeeds, it will be the second private US company to do so this week. The landing is scheduled for 11:32 a. m. CT (12:32 p. m. E
NASA is still trying to fix a problem with a spacecraft called Lunar Trailblazer. This spacecraft was sent to the moon last week. It was supposed to study water on the moon. But, there was a problem. The spacecraft lost contact with Earth. This happened less than 12 hours after it was launched. It w
Two astronauts, Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, are finally on the brink of returning to Earth after an extended stay in space. Their journey, which was supposed to last only a week, has stretched to nine months due to unexpected challenges. The astronauts were initially launched aboard Boeing's St
Brassica napus, a key oil crop in southern China, often faces cold stress. This can harm its growth and reproduction. To keep these plants healthy, scientists need to understand how they handle long-term cold temperatures. This understanding is crucial for farmers to grow crops that can handle the c
The Carolinas have been battling wildfires, but lighter winds have given firefighters a break. Fire crews have been working tirelessly to tackle the blazes that have forced people out of their homes. Many people who were forced to leave their homes have been allowed to return, but the threat is no
The moon just got a little bit more familiar. A private spacecraft, Blue Ghost, touched down near a lonely peak called Mons Latreille. This spot is in a huge crater named Mare Crisium, which is in the northeast part of the moon's near side. The landing happened on a Sunday, March 2nd. The spacecraf
A company from Texas, Firefly Aerospace, just made history by successfully landing a spacecraft on the moon. The spacecraft, named Blue Ghost, touched down in the Sea of Crises, a region on the moon's northeast side. This landing is a big deal because it's the first time a commercially-built and ope
Firefly Aerospace made history as their Blue Ghost lunar lander touched down on the moon's surface. This wasn't just any landing; it was a triumph for private space exploration. The lander, launched in mid-January from Florida, carried 10 experiments for NASA. This mission was part of NASA's commerc
The mouth is a window into the body, reflecting choices made daily. Tiny molecules, known as microRNAs, act like switches, controlling genes. Two key players, miR-21 and miR-125a, are crucial in the battle against cancer. MiR-21 aids cancer growth, while miR-125a fights it. Scientists investigated
