A powerful solar storm has caused a delay in the launch of NASA's ESCAPADE mission to Mars. The mission, which was supposed to lift off from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida aboard Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket, has been postponed due to concerns about the impact of the solar storm on the spacecraft. The solar storm, caused by a series of eruptions on ...
Blue Origin's plans to send NASA's twin ESCAPADE orbiters to Mars hit a snag, not once, but twice. First, bad weather called off the initial launch attempt. Now, a powerful solar storm has pushed the mission back again. These storms, which have been strong enough to create stunning auroras as far south as Florida, are causing some serious concerns. The ESCAPADE miss...
Brain diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's are tough to treat. Scientists have tried many things, but nothing has worked really well. Now, they are looking at new ways to get medicine to the brain. One idea is to use the nose! Yes, the nose! This method is not invasive and can help the medicine get to the brain more easily. Lipid-based systems are getting a lot...
The moon's orbit around Earth isn't a perfect circle. It's more like an oval. This means the moon's distance from Earth changes all the time. Sometimes it's closer. Sometimes it's farther away. When the moon is full and closer to Earth, it's called a supermoon. Supermoons look bigger and brighter than usual. They can be up to 14% larger and 30% brighter than the fain...
Kim Kardashian recently shared her doubts about the moon landing, sparking a conversation about a long-standing conspiracy theory. She mentioned seeing a video of Buzz Aldrin, one of the astronauts who walked on the moon, and interpreted his words to mean the landing was fake. This idea has been around for decades, but it's not new. Many people have questioned the m...
SpaceX is stepping up its game to land humans on the Moon. They believe they have what it takes to lead the way. In a recent blog post, they shared their vision for a permanent human presence beyond Earth. This is not just about planting a flag like the Apollo missions. It's about building a lasting home on the Moon. SpaceX is moving fast with their Starship program...
The universe is a big place. Really big. And it's been around for a long time. So, it's not a stretch to think that life exists somewhere out there. But if aliens are real, why haven't we heard from them? A scientist from NASA has an idea. He thinks it's not because they're hiding or using some fancy tech we don't know about. It's simpler than that. They might just ...
A new jet is making waves in California. The X-59, a unique aircraft, flew for the first time on a Tuesday morning. It took off from a runway in Palmdale, north of Los Angeles. This jet is special because it is designed to break the sound barrier without the usual loud noise. The X-59 is not your average plane. It is about 100 feet long and has a sleek design. It fl...
Something strange is happening with Earth's hemispheres. For years, the Northern and Southern Hemispheres reflected almost the same amount of sunlight back into space. But now, this balance is breaking down. The Northern Hemisphere is absorbing more sunlight than the Southern Hemisphere. This change could affect weather patterns and climate in the coming decades. Sc...
A big moon mission is taking longer than expected. Astrobotic's Griffin-1 lander, which was supposed to take off by the end of 2025, is now aiming for mid-2026. This isn't a small delay—it's a significant shift in plans. The lander is carrying some cool stuff, like a rover called FLIP from Venturi Astrolab and a tiny rover named CubeRover-1. But before it can go to ...
