An out-of-control space laboratory is falling towards the Earth and will crash land soon, experts say.
NASA has stated that it’s quite likely that our solar system is home to a massive, distant ninth planet. Its existence could shed light on some burning questions about the cosmos.
Physicists agree that 13-15 billion years ago our universe was shaped by a Big Bang. But where did that Big Bang come from? A new theory suggested by a group of physicists offers the likelihood that our universe is nestled inside a black hole.
It’s the first object past Neptune in the solar system known to have debris circling it
A solar event on September 11, 2017 sparked a global aurora on the Red Planet more than 25 times brighter than any previously seen by NASA’s MAVEN (Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution) spacecraft. The event also produced radiation levels on the Martian surface more than double any previously measured by NASA’s Curiosity rover.
NASA’s longest-lived mission to Mars has gained its first look at the Martian moon Phobos, pursuing a deeper understanding by examining it in infrared wavelengths.
Atmosphere is long gone, but there are signs of it being there.
The object—still to be identified— will make its closest approach next month, and experts are still unsure what exactly it is. Astronomers say that the mystery object appears extremely DARK and unreflective. In addition to that, scientists state that the object has an unknown origin.
Vice President Mike Pence called for returning U.S. astronauts to the Moon and eventual missions to Mars during the first meeting of the National Space Council, held on October 5 at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum’s Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center, outside Washington.
