Live coverage of the countdown and launch of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida. The Falcon 9 rocket will launched the the Amazonas Nexus geostationary communications satellite for …
We know that planets rotate, but what about the universe as a whole? No, the universe doesn’t appear to rotate; if it did, time travel into the past might be possible. Although people throughout antiquity had argued that the heavens rotate around the …
A team of European astronomers made the detection of the space rock, which is between 328 and 656 feet (100 to 200 meters) long, and located in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.
Extremely fast rotation is a key characteristic of neutron stars in general, and of magnetars in particular. And that’s why, on October 5, 2020, astronomers were surprised to see a magnetar suddenly slow down. It began emitting radio waves a few days later …
A previously unknown 100-to-200-meter asteroid—roughly the size of Rome’s Colosseum—has been detected by an international team of European astronomers using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope. Their project used data from the calibration of …
A new study led by Northern Arizona University offers new evidence that a common framework to sort bacteria into two lifestyles doesn’t easily apply to bacteria living in wild soil. The findings, published in The ISME Journal, show that rather than …
Scientists and engineers have probed permanently shadowed regions with several spacecraft missions over the years, Parvathy Prem, a planetary scientist at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory who studies the moon, told me. They’ve …
NASA’s newest astrophysics observatory wasn’t designed to look for small objects in our solar system, but scientists using its Mid-Infrared Instrument may have done just that. An asteroid roughly the size of Rome’s Colosseum – between 300 to 650 feet …
A team of physicists affiliated with several institutions in France has developed a way to use muon detectors to create 3D images of difficult-to-access objects, such as a reactor inside a nuclear plant. The research is published in the journal Science …
A snapshot of the Tarantula Nebula (also known as 30 Doradus) is featured in this image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. The Tarantula Nebula is a large star-forming region of ionized hydrogen gas that lies 161,000 light-years from Earth in …
