SpaceX's Polaris Dawn mission has marked a significant milestone in the history of space exploration, making the first commercial spacewalk a reality. Conducting a spacewalk is not a new concept, as NASA has been doing so since the Gemini program in 1965. However, what makes this mission remarkable
As typhoon Chanthu wreaked havoc on East Asia in 2021, meteorologists and government leaders scrambled to figure out what was coming next. The future of improving such predictions may lie with digital twins – virtual replicas of the Earth that can simulate extreme weather events, helping us make saf
One of the most significant events in the astronomy calendar is approaching - International Observe the Moon Night, taking place on September 14. This worldwide celebration encourages people to explore the wonders of the moon, fostering a sense of community and promoting lunar science. But what exac
The article discusses SpaceX's Polaris Dawn mission, a five-day private spacewalk that will conduct 36 different experiments from 31 institutions. The mission aims to better understand spaceflight's impacts on the human body, providing crucial insights for further crewed exploration efforts. The art
What if I told you that NASA's Europa Clipper mission, set to launch on October 10, has just cleared its final hurdle, and it's ready to take on the ultimate question: is life beyond Earth? The mission has been revamped, and the team has confirmed that the spacecraft's transistors can withstand t
Pope Francis and the grand imam of Istiqlal Mosque, Nasaruddin Umar, have teamed up to promote peace and environmental protection – a powerful image, to be sure. But how genuine is this “symphony of faith and unity”? Francis made a symbolic visit to Jakarta's iconic Istiqlal Mosque, meeting with
NASA's intrepid Perseverance rover is embarking on its most daring mission yet - scaling the towering rim of Jezero Crater. This epic ascent, expected to cover a whopping 1000 feet in elevation, will take the rover through uncharted territory with no prior orbital images to guide the way. It's lik
NASA's cutting-edge space missions are like shiny new toys that hackers can't resist playing with. From Mars rovers to moon-bound rockets, these high-tech marvels are prime targets for cyber attacks that could send them spiraling out of control or compromise sensitive scientific data. But a bold new
In a groundbreaking study released on Tuesday, NASA's Cold Atom Lab on the International Space Station successfully used ultra-cold atoms to detect changes in the surrounding environment for the first time. This marks a significant milestone in the field of quantum science, paving the way for more
