Astronomers had a surprise when they thought they found a powerful radio burst from deep space. It turned out to be a signal from an old, broken NASA satellite called Relay 2. This satellite has been floating in space since 1964 and stopped working in 1967. The signal was so strong that it blocked out other signals from the sky. It lasted less than 30 nanoseconds, wh...
Europe is teaming up with Rocket Lab to send two small satellites into space. These satellites are part of a bigger plan to test new navigation technology. The goal is to create a system that can help with positioning, navigation, and timing from low Earth orbit. The satellites, called Pathfinder A, were built by two different companies: GMV and Thales Alenia Space....
Recent satellite images have given the world a glimpse into the aftermath of the U. S. operation, codenamed Midnight Hammer, which targeted Iran's key nuclear sites. The images show significant damage to the Fordo, Isfahan, and Natanz facilities, but the extent of the destruction is still under debate. Fordo, a major uranium enrichment site, appears to have taken a ...
A recent reveal of satellite pictures has shown a flurry of movement at Iran's Fordo nuclear site, just before the U. S. launched air strikes. The images, taken by a U. S. defense contractor, show trucks and vehicles near the entrance of the underground facility. This site is no ordinary place. It's buried deep, 300 feet under a mountain, and built to withstand ...
The United States recently launched a significant attack on Iran's nuclear facilities. This move came after a shift from diplomatic efforts to military action. The strikes targeted three major sites: Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. The Fordow facility is Iran's most critical nuclear enrichment site. It is buried deep inside a mountain, making it highly secure. The ...
Iran's nuclear program is a complex web. It is not just a few buildings. It is a vast network of sites spread across the country. Thousands of scientists and engineers work tirelessly at dozens of locations. This makes it a tough target for any military action. The program is designed to be resilient and hard to destroy. Satellite images show that recen...
The Middle East is a hotspot for conflict, and recent events have shown that Iran is a prime target. Satellite pictures have uncovered significant harm to key locations in Iran. These images, taken from space, offer a unique perspective on the ground situation. They are especially useful in Iran, where it's tough for journalists to operate freely. One of the hit sit...
In the vast expanse of Argentinian Patagonia, wildfires have been raging, leaving behind a trail of destruction. These blazes are not just burning trees and vegetation. They are also releasing a cocktail of harmful substances into the air. Carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds, and aerosols are among the top pollutants. These substances don't j...
First, let us look at the facts. Canada's wildfire season is off to a fiery start in 2025. The numbers are in, and they're not pretty. The satellite data is clear: this year's wildfire season is shaping up to be one of the worst in recent history. Twice a day, a NASA satellite sends images back to Earth, showing where fires are burning. This is super important fo...
SpaceX's reusable rocket technology took center stage again this week. A Falcon 9 rocket blasted off from the Space Coast of Florida. The launch was a success. This was not the first time this particular rocket had taken to the skies. In fact, it was the 19th flight for this first-stage booster. This is a big deal. It shows how far reusable rocket technology has come...
