NASA will send a golf cart-sized robot to the moon in 2022 to search for deposits of water below the surface, an effort to evaluate the vital resource ahead of a planned human return to the moon in 2024 to possibly use it for astronauts to drink and to make rocket fuel, the U.S. space agency said on Friday.
One report says 200,000 years while another stated 300,000
The tempests are larger than other squalls but smaller than massive Great White Spots
A large asteroid could be reclassified as a dwarf planet — which could make it the smallest in the solar system — after new research revealed it’s shape, astronomers said on Monday.
Boris Johnson’s gung-ho claims may be wide of the mark, but scientists pursuing the holy grail of energy generation are taking giant steps
In recent years, scientists have made impressive headway with organoids—clumps of tissue or bundles of cells that resemble a miniature version of a human organ. But as the technology continues to progress at rapid speeds, are the ethical considerations playing catch up?
In the future, we’re expected to have sites on other planets, and the conflict about it is that if they should be called settlement or colonization.
Astronomers using NASA’s Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) have observed an unusually warm, dusty debris disk around BD +20 307, a binary star system located 300 light-years away in the constellation of Aries. Their results suggest that an extreme collision between two rocky planetary bodies is the most likely origin for the warm dust in the BD +20 307 system.
The find supports the idea that these smashups create many of the elements heavier than iron
It might just look like the imprint of a bat squashed into a rock, kind of like the imprint an unfortunate bird leaves when it collides with a window. But paleontologist Duncan McIlroy says this unassuming item is an amazing find.
