With space debris threats on the rise, the International Space Station (ISS) recently executed a precise avoidance maneuver. NASAs continuous tracking ensured the identified object posed minimal risk. Debris Dodge Ahead of SpaceX Crew-3 Mission The European Space Agency (ESA) tracks over 34,000 piec

Seven astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) took shelter in their spacecraft on November 15 as the station passed through a cloud of debris from a Russian anti-satellite test. The U.S. condemned the act as dangerous and irresponsible.A Close Call in Low Earth OrbitRussia conducted

Earlier this week, Russias anti-satellite test forced seven ISS astronauts to shelter in their spacecraft to evade debris from the collision. Experts predict this will more than double satellite avoidance maneuvers in the coming years.On November 15, Russia launched an anti-satellite missile at the

According to planetary scientist John Grant from Southern Cross University, the Moons surface regolith alone holds enough oxygen to sustain eight billion people for 100,000 years—if we master extraction techniques. Researchers worldwide are advancing these methods.Space agencies like NASA, its partn

While Laïka is celebrated as the first mammal to orbit Earth, her tragic fate remains a lesser-known chapter in space history. This stray dogs sacrifice underscores the ethical dilemmas of early space exploration, set against the intense U.S.-Soviet rivalry of the Cold War. Selected for a one-way mi

The Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover (VIPER) is set to land at the lunar south pole around 2023. Its primary mission: map and analyze water ice concentrations in near real-time. These resources could enable sustainable human presence on the Moon.Water is vital for space exploration—es

NASA has successfully launched its long-awaited Lucy mission, designed to fly by up to eight Trojan asteroids during its epic journey through the Solar System. Engineers at the agency have also installed a commemorative plaque featuring messages crafted for humanitys descendants. Launch Success! Tro

On Sunday, asteroid 2021 TG14 made a close approach to Earth, passing within less than 250,000 km. For context, the Moon orbits at an average of about 385,000 km from our planet. Fortunately, this small space rock posed no threat to humanity. In 2005, the U.S. Congress tasked NASA with identifying a

As reported by the Financial Times, China conducted a successful test of a nuclear-capable hypersonic glide vehicle two months ago, leaving White House officials astonished by the nations rapid advancements in this critical domain. The Financial Times detailed on October 17 that China launched a Lon

Astronomers using NASAs TESS telescope have captured the first-ever observation of a white dwarf dramatically flickering on and off. The groundbreaking findings, led by experts from Durham University, are detailed in Nature. An Unprecedented Phenomenon White dwarfs represent the end stage for stars

The German engineering firm Hookie has unveiled the Tardigrade, the pioneering concept for a two-wheeled lunar motorcycle. Still in the design phase, this innovative vehicle is engineered to reach speeds of 15 km/h across the Moons surface. NASAs Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV), introduced during the Apo

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) recently hosted a public hearing on Monday to gather input on SpaceXs planned Starship flights from its Texas Starbase facility. While the majority of participants voiced strong support, a minority raised valid environmental critiques. Strong Backing with So

The leading US Senate committee is directing NASA to select a second company to develop its lunar lander for the Artemis program, backed by a modest budget increase. In April 2021, NASA selected SpaceX as its sole provider for the Human Landing System (HLS) under Artemis, aiming to return humans to

Originally set for November, NASAs Space Launch System (SLS) is now targeting a February liftoff for the Artemis I mission, sending an uncrewed Orion capsule on a lunar orbit. Objective Moon NASAs powerful SLS rocket is designed to propel future crews back to the Moon. Its debut flight, Artemis I, w

A University of Hawaii team has directly imaged a planet formed only a few million years ago using the powerful Subaru Telescope. The findings are detailed in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. Astronomers primarily detect exoplanets through two indirect methods. The transit meth

Blue Origin and Sierra Space have announced ambitious plans for Orbital Reef, a private orbital space station operating at 500 km altitude and accommodating up to 10 people. The companies aim to have it operational in the second half of the decade. Blue Origin Joins the Private Space Station Race Wi

Astronomers from the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian announce a groundbreaking potential discovery: the first planet outside our Milky Way galaxy. This candidate world orbits in a binary system 27 million light-years away in the spiral galaxy Messier 51 (M51), the iconic Whirlpoo

Ever dreamed of hunting for new planets? Nows your chance.

Your task: verify transit signals flagged by algorithms. Become an Exoplanet Hunter

Recent research from astronomers at the University of California, Berkeley, confirms that a puzzling radio signal once thought to hint at extraterrestrial life near Proxima Centauri originated on Earth. A Promising Extraterrestrial Signal? Several months ago, astronomers using Australias Parkes (Mur

Bill Nelson remains open-minded. NASAs administrator recently revisited high-profile UFO sightings reported by U.S. Navy pilots, suggesting these unexplained phenomena could indicate extraterrestrial presence on Earth. Months ago, UFO researcher Jeremy Corbell released footage of a UAP (unidentified
