A group of scientists have discovered long-lasting radio signals over sunspots. The radio signals were detected at an altitude of about 40,000 kilometers above the sunspot. This is the first ever observation of such radio signals on the Sun; previous long-lasting radio signals have been detected on other planets or...
The Boeing company, which is currently experiencing big problems with aircraft, is finally preparing to make the first manned flight of its Starliner spacecraft. photo: BoeingStarliner is already at the Kennedy Space Center as part of pre-flight preparation. The process is not quick, since this will be the first manned...
According to information from the National Space Administration of China, a relay satellite for the upcoming Chang'e 6 lunar mission and other lunar exploration programs is scheduled to launch soon. The combination of the Queqiao 2 relay satellite and the Long March 8 launch vehicle was delivered to the launch...
The Chandra X-ray Observatory began its mission in 1999 when the Columbia spacecraft lifted it out of its payload bay. Originally designed for a five-year mission, it has been providing valuable scientific information for twenty-four years, working alongside the other Great Observatories, the Hubble and James Webb Space Telescopes. However,...
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) made several significant discoveries in its first year of operation. These include providing the clearest images yet of iconic cosmic structures such as the Pillars of Creation, atmospheric transmission spectra of exoplanets and species of Jupiter, its largest moons, the rings of Saturn, its...
Japan and the United States are preparing to sign an agreement to land two Japanese astronauts on the moon as part of the Artemis lunar exploration program led by the United States. This event is expected to occur in 2028 or later. In addition to this, both sides are also...
As part of an ongoing international project to explore space objects, more than eight thousand volunteers and scientists have discovered fifteen new “active” asteroids. These discoveries are the result of careful analysis of over 430,000 images taken by the Dark Energy Camera (DECam) at the Victor M. Blanco Telescope in...
Scientists from China's Purple Mountain Observatory conducted a study aimed at solving the mystery of the mass limit of neutron stars. The study used data collected by LIGO, the VIRGO gravitational wave detector, and the Neutron Star Interior Composition Research (NICER) mission to the ISS. One of the goals of...
An eruption 40 times the size of Earth on the far side of the Sun sent a giant cloud of plasma into space that crashed into Mercury, creating X-ray auroras around its rocky surface. The eruption was likely caused by a powerful solar flare that occurred on March 9, according...
An international team of scientists led by astronomers at the Tartu Observatory of the University of Tartu has discovered many superclusters in the Universe. One of these superclusters is the “Einasto Supercluster”, which was named after Professor Jaan Einasto, a pioneer in this field of research, who celebrated his 95th...
The current theoretical model of the composition of the Universe suggests that it consists of ordinary matter, dark energy and dark matter. However, a new study published March 15 in The Astrophysical Journal challenges this model, arguing that there is no room for dark matter. In cosmology, the term “dark...
Reuters claims that billionaire Elon Musk's SpaceX is working on spy satellites for the US government. created by DALL-ESpaceX is building a network of hundreds of spy satellites under a secret contract with the US intelligence agency. Reuters says it was told this by five different sources. The SpaceX Starshield...
A new study by Lonneke Roelofs from Utrecht University has found that the period when liquid water was present on the surface of Mars may have been shorter than expected. It was previously thought that channel landforms were formed solely by liquid water, but new evidence suggests that these landforms...
Scientists from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) have unveiled a new robot capable of exploring Saturn's icy moon Enceladus. The main task of the robot, called the Exobiology Extant Life Surveyor (EELS), is to search for possible signs of extraterrestrial life in the ocean hidden under the icy surface of...
A team of scientists as part of a NASA-funded project has presented a new map of the central region of the Milky Way. The map took 4 years to create and reveals the connection between magnetic fields and cold dust structures in the heart of the galaxy. This dust is...
NASA projects are suffering due to outdated supercomputers – this is the result of the latest report from the agency's inspector general. Currently, the management has at its disposal five HES systems (in the report this is synonymous with a supercomputer) with capacities ranging from 154.8 TFLOPS to 13.12 PFLOPS....
