Space

The International Space Station (ISS) has served as a crucial hub for scientific research and human space exploration. However, as it ages and faces various technical issues, NASA is looking towards the future by investing in potential replacements. One such prospect is Orbital Reef, a collaboration between Blue Origin and Sierra Space. Key Technological Milestones

The planet Mars is dotted with a multitude of craters, a stark contrast to the relatively fewer number found on Earth. This stark difference can be attributed to the absence of strong weathering forces and plate tectonics on Mars, factors that often disrupt crater formations on our home planet. The Unique Origin of Impact Craters

The Earth is just a tiny speck in the grand scheme of the universe, orbiting an average star known as the Sun. However, the Sun itself is just one of billions of stars in the Milky Way galaxy. Beyond the Milky Way lies the Laniakea Supercluster, a massive structure that spans an astonishing 250 million

Exploring the vastness of space has always been an intriguing endeavor for astronomers. The search for the first stars that illuminated the Universe has led to the discovery of one of the oldest stars known to humanity, LMC 119. This ancient star was found in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of the Milky

The stability of planetary systems has long been a topic of interest for physicists and astronomers alike. While the rules governing the orbits of two celestial bodies are well understood, the dynamics become significantly more complex when additional bodies are introduced. The so-called “three-body problem” has perplexed scientists for centuries, leading to unpredictable instabilities that

Deep within the scarred landscape of Mars lies a hidden secret waiting to be uncovered. Known as Noctis Mons, this ancient volcano was recently discovered beneath the region of Noctis Labyrinthus by a team of scientists led by planetary scientist Pascal Lee of the SETI Institute. While their initial focus was on traces of an

As NASA’s Artemis program aims to return astronauts to the Moon and private companies venture further into space, a new field of study is emerging: astroforensics. This discipline faces unique challenges due to the harsh environment of space, including altered gravity, cosmic radiation, extreme temperatures, and the need for oxygen-providing climate systems. These variables pose
