The interstellar object 3I/ATLAS recently zipped past Earth, ignoring our planet. Astronomer Avi Loeb has a wild idea: we could use such objects as high-speed carriers for human time capsules, drastically cutting the travel time to true interstellar space.
D-Orbit has transported over 200 payloads to orbit using its ION satellite carriers. The latest mission included Italy’s first optical intersatellite link and various technology demonstrations. This marks significant growth in the commercial space transportation sector.
The European Space Agency is getting a massive funding boost as Europe tries to avoid being left behind in the global space race. Germany alone is increasing its contribution to over 5 billion euros, and ESA plans to send European astronauts to the moon.
Undergraduate students from three universities have spent five years building a CubeSat that will launch to study solar wind. The mission will help improve space weather forecasting and protect critical infrastructure on Earth. Students gained hands-on experience that directly led to careers in aero
NASA is preparing to launch its first twin satellite mission to Mars using an unconventional kidney bean-shaped orbit. The ESCAPADE spacecraft will create 3D maps of Mars’ atmosphere to protect future astronauts from deadly solar radiation.
As nations return to the Moon, some fear a repeat of Earth’s territorial conflicts. But space operates under different rules that could prevent history from repeating itself in the cosmos.
Sidus Space has cemented its partnership with Lonestar Data Holdings through a new mission agreement for orbital data storage. The deal represents a strategic pivot toward the emerging space-based computing market as terrestrial limitations mount.
The James Webb Space Telescope has uncovered compelling evidence that star formation may be actively triggered in the iconic Pillars of Creation. High-resolution infrared observations reveal 253 young stellar objects clustered along the edges of structures shaped by massive stellar feedback.
The James Webb Space Telescope has provided astronomers with unprecedented views of star formation processes within the iconic Pillars of Creation, according to a recent study published in Nature Astronomy. The high-resolution observations from JWST’s Near Infrared Camera and Mid-Infrared Instrument have revealed 253 young stellar object candidates, with spatial distributions that suggest feedback from massive stars may be triggering additional star formation.
Scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery on Saturn’s moon Enceladus, detecting complex organic molecules directly from its subsurface ocean that…
