In collaboration with NASA, the Guatemalan researcher from the University of Colorado sent ‘12,000 mutant yeasts’ around the satellite on the Orion spacecraft
A disk with images and sounds from our planet was sent out on the two ‘Voyager’ probes, as well as a recording of a person’s thoughts, in case aliens can read brain waves
The agency will apply the scientific method and use all the tools at its disposal to figure out the origins of unidentified anomalous phenomena
‘A Million Miles Away’ tells the story of how the son of Mexican migrant farmers became the third Latino in history to travel into space
The space agency released the findings after a yearlong study into UAPs (unidentified anomalous phenomena) in which experts warned that there is still not enough data to reach a scientific conclusion on the issue
That information helps in studying how celestial objects were formed, and hopefully can lead to solving the mystery of how the universe was created
The origin of the water that our satellite contains is unknown, but the process of deciphering it will provide clues about how it arrived on Earth
Despite its popular name, during the blue moon phase our satellite will not look a different shade than usual
As SpaceX prepares a new launch of its Starship super rocket, an unknown Chinese company named LandSpace has beaten it to the punch and put an all-methane space shuttle into orbit
The Very Large Telescope, located in the Atacama Desert in Chile, detected this large black spot, the nature and origin of which remain unknown
After the failure of the Russian mission, the ‘Vikram’ has become the first spacecraft to land on the lunar southern region, where there are large reserves of frozen water
The exploitation of the Earth’s only natural satellite poses regulatory and ethical challenges
The spacecraft was scheduled to land on the south pole of the Moon on Monday, racing to beat an Indian probe also heading to Earth’s satellite. The launch was Russia’s first since 1976
The Russian ‘Luna-25,’ which is heading towards the south pole of the Moon, is the first in a series of probes from several countries that will explore its surface in the coming years
Russia and India are vying to be the first to reach the satellite’s south pole as the United States prepares a crewed mission that is set to land in 2025
The solar maximum appears to have moved forward, causing more eruptive phenomena on our star and placing terrestrial communication systems on alert
Four planetary probes were launched in the 1970s, carrying information about Earth. This was in case – in the very distant future – they were to fall into the hands of an extraterrestrial civilization
The human desire to fly is as old as time. But trying to imitate storks or bats has led to broken bones, at best
The intellectual movement of the late 19th century influenced the Soviet space race and contemporary transhumanists in Silicon Valley
On July 21, a human error caused a slight disorientation of the main antenna of the veteran spacecraft, which is beyond the Solar System and could be cut off from Earth until October
While the extensive exploration to date has produced a wealth of geological data, plenty remains unknown about the fourth planet from the Sun
On Tuesday night, the full moon will rise in the southeast. It will appear slightly brighter and bigger than normal because it will be closer than usual
