Many space missions re-use technologies. For example, Voyager probes have been around longer than most of my readers. Launched 46 years ago, the twin probes still send data back to Earth (when someone doesn't tilt its antenna the wrong…

The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) and NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) will launch ComPair aboard a high-altitude balloon from Fort. Sumner, New Mexico Aug. 10. The ComPair mission instrument measures and detects gamma-ray…

Transportation has become an indispensable part of modern life, facilitating the movement of people and goods across the globe. However, our current transportation systems face numerous challenges that demand innovative engineering…

NASA lost contact with Voyager 2 on July 21st after flight commanders sent an order that tilted the probe's antenna away from Earth, making it impossible to send and receive commands and data. Mission control tilted the antenna a mere 2%.…

As humanity looks beyond Earth for future settlements, the moon, and Mars have emerged as potential destinations. However, establishing livable habitats on these celestial bodies poses significant challenges, particularly in regulating…

In the mesmerizing dance of cosmic dust, a groundbreaking revelation has emerged, shedding light on the enigmatic process of planet formation. Microparticle dust aggregates, those tiny building blocks of celestial bodies, have long been…

According to fundamental physics, the properties of mass—weight, inertia, and gravitation—always remain the same relative to each other. If this is not true, Einstein's theory of relativity would be debunked. Now, however, quantum theory…

There may be many more Earth-like exoplanets with liquid water than we thought, potentially increasing the chance of finding life. Dr. Lujendra Ojha of Rutgers University claims that their work shows water can be found in places previously…

There is a spacetime warping effect of gravitational waves passing through our galaxy, says researchers with the U.S. National Science Foundation's NANOGrav Physics Frontiers Center. Their findings were published in The Astrophysical…

There’s now a method to test Einstein's and Euler's theories for the accelerating expansion of the Universe and dark matter together. If you're unfamiliar with the theories, Euler described the movements of celestial objects, and Einstein…
