NASA's Juno probe orbiting Jupiter finds depth of planet's Great Red Spot
Washington : NASA’s Juno probe orbiting Jupiter has found the planet’s Great Red Spot is deeper than scientists had previously thought.
The probe determined that the depth of the Great Red Spot is about 500 km below the cloud tops. The findings are detailed in the journal Science and the Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets.
Private space stations are coming. Here's what NASA astronauts want to see | Space
Two NASA astronauts in space right now have some ideas about what the future may hold in low-Earth orbit (LEO), and what they hope to see in a commercial space station.
"The space station is a cutting edge laboratory," Vande Hei told Space.com. "So I certainly hope that future space stations are cutting edge laboratories as well."
First planet outside Milky Way Galaxy detected - SCIENCE News
Objects hanging in the vacuum of the cosmos orbiting a star have been detected throughout the galaxy, these exoplanets have been a source of enhancing our understanding of the conditions beyond our solar system.
This is the first time that signs of a planet transiting a star beyond the Milky Way galaxy has been detected. The unique discovery was led by Nasa's Chandra X-ray Observatory that has peaked into the spiral galaxy Messier 51 (M51), also called the Whirlpool Galaxy.
A proactive approach to removing space junk
Consequently, cleaning up this space junk will be an important task if agencies are to shoot more rockets and satellites into orbit. University of Utah mechanical engineering professor Jake J.
Their research is detailed in the paper, "Dexterous magnetic manipulation of conductive non-magnetic objects," published this month in the science journal, Nature . The co-authors include U graduate students Lan Pham, Griffin Tabor and Ashkan Pourkand, former graduate student Jacob L. B.
NASA telescope may have just helped find the first planet spotted outside Milky Way
Bengaluru: Earth and its seven Solar System siblings may have a distant (really distant) cousin outside the Milky Way, but it could be decades before we know for sure.
Astronomers have detected the signs of a planet outside the Milky Way galaxy through NASA's orbiting Chandra X-ray observatory. If confirmed as a planet, this body will be the very first extragalactic exoplanet (exoplanet is a planet outside the solar system) to be observed.
Research on new planets will help answer one of the greatest questions in human history
Astronomers are constantly on the lookout for other worlds that can tell us how the solar system came to be and how special it is. So far, all Earth – like planets have been found in the Milky Way galaxy, but this is the first time an extraterrestrial has been found.
As the BBC reported, scientists have discovered a planet outside our galaxy for the first time in history. So far, about 5 thousand. Exoplanets – worlds orbiting stars beyond our Sun, but they are all in the Milky Way galaxy.
Unusual collision triggers supernova explosion in binary star system
When stars collapse under their own gravity, they can leave behind a neutron star or black hole — provided that the star is massive enough. In a binary star system, this can lead to some pretty wicked interactions.
When stars collapse under their own gravity, they can leave behind a neutron star or maybe a black hole — provided that the star is massive enough. Neutron stars and black holes are called compact objects by astrophysicists. They are extremely dense, but not necessarily extremely massive.
Russia experiences issues at the International Space Station | wtsp.com
BAIKONUR, Kazakhstan — Editor's note: The video in the player above shows a 2020 launch of the Russian Soyuz to the International Space Station.
It hasn't been smooth sailing — well, smooth orbiting — for Russian cosmonauts aboard the International Space Station as of late.
Fighting the Kessler syndrome by spotting tiny space objects
Cosmos » Space Exploration » WA space radar to spot orbiting objects as small as 2cm
You can see it unfolding above your head at night – streams of new bright new satellites taking their place in our skies. But this burgeoning new industry is already facing a tipping point.
