Nasa says astronauts sheltered in the Soyuz spacecraft so they could evacuate if necessary during the ‘avoidance manoeuvre’
Mars, also known as the red planet, has been the focus of numerous research studies, as some of its characteristics have sparked discussions about its possible inhabitability. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and a few other space agencies have thus sent a number of rovers and other spacecraft to Mars with the hope of better understanding its geology and environment.
The US space agency (Nasa) has formally outlined its $28bn (£22bn) plan to return to the Moon by 2024.
Enceladus may be even more interesting than we thought.
Media accreditation is open for the launch of the Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich satellite, an international collaboration between NASA and several partners. This is the first of two identical satellites to be launched sequentially to continue observations of sea level change for at least the next decade. The spacecraft is targeted for liftoff Nov. 10 at 2:31 p.m. EST (11:31 a.m. PST) from Vandenberg Air Force Base (VAFB) in California.
NASA has published the most recent up-close image of Jupiter, the massive planet covered with beautiful, terrifying storms.
The sun goes through cycles where it has more or less activity, and NASA has now confirmed that Solar Cycle 25 has begun.
A new approach to space housekeeping sends charged dust particles flying
Using NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and the HARPS fiber-fed Echelle spectrograph mounted at the 3.6-m telescope of ESO’s La Silla observatory, astronomers have discovered and confirmed two massive transiting planets around the G-type dwarf star TOI-763.
