In San Diego, a rare comet called Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS made an appearance in the night sky on Saturday. This isn't just any comet; it's a once-in-a-lifetime event, as it orbits the sun only once every 80,000 years. NASA says it will be visible to the naked eye for several weeks in October, with t
Vast Space has unveiled a cutting-edge design for its Haven-2 commercial space station, aimed at NASA’s future needs. The station is planned to be built in segments, starting in the late 2020s. Unlike their previous focus on the Haven-1 project, this new station is set to be much larger and more ver
As Hurricane Milton eased over Florida, NASA's Kennedy Space Center (KSC) experienced an unusual calm. The center had been shut down in preparation for the storm, allowing only essential personnel. Situated in HURCON I, a high state of alert, KSC shared live footage of the hurricane's eye passing di
Hurricane Milton, a massive storm that's set to hit Florida, has caused NASA to delay the SpaceX Crew-8 mission's return. This means four astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS) have to wait a bit longer to come home. Initially planned for October 7, the mission's return has been pushed
In a few days, NASA is set to launch its Europa Clipper spacecraft, a mission that could redefine our understanding of life in the universe. This $5 billion probe, built by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, will explore Jupiter's icy moon Europa. Scientists believe Europa might harbor a massive ocean u
NASA's small satellite missions have come a long way. They've learned from past failures and now do amazing science at a low cost. Take TEMPEST-D and RAINCube, for instance. Launched just minutes apart in 2018, they helped create the first near-real-time 3D model of storm evolution. Impressed by the
In a dramatic cosmic event, NASA’s spacecraft collided with a skyscraper-size asteroid two years ago to test Earth’s defense against an asteroid impact. Now, Europe is getting involved with their new mission, Hera, named after the Greek goddess of marriage. This venture aims to investigate the after
NASA's Europa Clipper, a spacecraft designed to explore Jupiter’s icy moon Europa, has had its launch delayed due to a powerful hurricane headed towards Florida. The mission was originally set to launch on October 10, but Hurricane Milton, a Category 5 storm, has forced NASA to postpone the event. H
The big day for NASA's Europa Clipper mission is on hold. Why? A pesky storm, Hurricane Milton, is on its way to Florida, home to the Kennedy Space Center. NASA and SpaceX decided to play it safe and postpone the launch planned for Thursday. They're not taking any chances with the spacecraft, which
Imagine this: you're a crypto trader, and suddenly the US Treasury drops new rules on you. Starting in 2026, your broker will have to report your transactions from 2025 to the IRS. This means if you traded any cryptocurrency like Bitcoin or stablecoins (which track real money), you'll get a form cal
