CERN physicists have delivered the most accurate measurement of the Higgs bosons lifetime to date, employing an innovative indirect technique. What is the Higgs Boson? Proposed by physicist Peter Higgs in the mid-1960s, the Higgs boson—named after him—was confirmed in 2012 at CERN. Elementary partic

SpaceX is preparing to launch the largest rocket in history. Starship, its fully reusable interplanetary spacecraft, is designed for crewed missions to the Moon and Mars. But SpaceX CEO Elon Musk envisions even greater possibilities: transforming how we explore the entire Solar System. Huge Potentia

On Monday, TIME Magazine named Elon Musk, founder and CEO of SpaceX, its 2021 Person of the Year. Journalists highlighted his extraordinary influence, detailing the groundbreaking achievements of his companies throughout the year.Described as a clown, genie, edgelord (someone whose eccentric attitud

From space, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) resembles a giant sunflower perched on a silver surfboard sunshield, safeguarding it from solar heat and glare. Its 18 gold-coated beryllium hexagonal segments form a primary mirror over 6 meters wide. But why gold? A collaboration between NASA, the

Researchers using the ESA-Roscosmos ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter have identified elevated hydrogen levels in the heart of Valles Marineris, Mars immense canyon system near the equator. Confirmation is pending, but this points to substantial water ice deposits lurking just centimeters below the surface.

Recently, Chinas Yutu-2 rover detected a fascinating cube-shaped object on the Moons far side. Mission controllers are detouring to investigate it closely, but patience is required. Positioned in Von Karman Crater within the South Pole-Aitken Basin, the Yutu-2 rover and its lander spotted this intri

Renowned agencies NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) are monitoring two seasoned explorers on a grueling 4,000+ kilometer journey across Antarctica. This mission provides critical insights into human resilience for future Mars expeditions. Antarctica as a Mars Analog Experienced British explor

Humanity has launched countless objects and living beings into space to pave the way for manned missions. Before Yuri Gagarins historic orbit, scientists tested technologies on animals. The Soviets sent Laika the dog; the U.S. used monkeys. France, however, pioneered feline spaceflight with Félicett

Researchers at the American Geophysical Unions fall meeting revealed that Mars Jezero Crater formed from molten volcanic magma. NASAs Perseverance rover has also identified organic molecules in rocks there.Organic Molecules Detected by Perseverance in Martian RocksOrganic molecules do not prove life

Before unlocking views of the universes first stars and galaxies, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) must endure a high-stakes launch and intricate deep-space deployment to reach its vantage point at the L2 orbit.Conceived in the 1990s with a budget under $1 billion and a target launch in the 200

Astronomers using the European Southern Observatorys (ESO) Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI) have captured the sharpest-ever images of stars orbiting the supermassive black hole at our galaxys core—zooming in 20 times sharper than before.A Supermassive Black Hole at the Galaxys HeartFor dec

NASAs James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is set to launch on December 24. As the most powerful observatory ever sent into space, it will enable astronomers to explore the universe in unprecedented detail—including one of astrophysics greatest enigmas: dark matter.Understanding Dark MatterThe orbital

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) stands as the most powerful space observatory ever built. But how do its images compare to those from Hubble, the longstanding benchmark in astronomy?Hubble has expanded our cosmic horizons with breathtaking images for over three decades. JWST promises to transf

NASAs OSIRIS-REx spacecraft, having successfully collected samples from asteroid Bennu, could next visit Apophis. The mission team plans to submit the proposal to NASA soon. On October 21, four years after launch, the U.S. probe OSIRIS-REx touched down on Bennu—over 330 million kilometers from Earth

Just months after orbiting Mars, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is setting its sights on the asteroid belt—a bold leap for this rising space power. In February 2021, the UAE Space Agency etched its name in history by successfully inserting the Hope probe into Mars orbit on its inaugural interplaneta

NASA and Roscosmos are finalizing a historic agreement to send the first cosmonaut on a SpaceX Crew Dragon to the International Space Station (ISS) as part of the Crew-5 mission, slated for fall 2022. A Historic First for U.S.-Russia Space Cooperation At a press conference in Dubai on October 25, Ro

Astronomers have announced the first direct detection of a magnetic field surrounding an exoplanet. Much like Earths magnetosphere, which shields our planet from harmful solar particles, this field may protect distant worlds from stellar radiation. A Groundbreaking Discovery HAT-P-11b, a Neptune-siz

Nearly 50 years after Apollo 17, pristine lunar samples are set to be opened and studied by experts worldwide. Researchers anticipate trapped gases that could reshape our understanding of the Moon. Apollo missions delivered invaluable lunar material that revolutionized our knowledge of the Moons geo

NASA has delayed the debut launch of its powerful Space Launch System (SLS) rocket for the Artemis 1 mission to the Moon due to a testing anomaly. Whats the updated timeline for this critical flight? The SLS is undergoing final integrated testing in the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASAs Kennedy Spa

NASAs James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), launched on December 25, 2021, occupies the Sun-Earth Lagrange Point 2 (L2), roughly 1.5 million kilometers from Earth. Scientists selected this orbital parking spot for two critical advantages: gravitational stability and thermal protection. Lagrange Point 2
