In Photos: The Webb Telescope Is Finally Focused And Just Sent Back 10 Jaw-Dropping New Hi-Def ...
The James Webb Space Telescope is a space observatory to see further into the Universe than ever ... [+] before.
NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) has confirmed that all of the space observatory's imaging instruments have passed with flying colors after the seventh and final round of testing.
Newly found Martian auroras defy easy explanation | Space
Scientists with the United Arab Emirates' Mars mission have spotted a 'worm-like' aurora stretching halfway across the Red Planet.
The discovery of "sinuous discrete" auroras , or shining lights high in the atmosphere arising from solar activity interacting with magnetic fields, came from observations from the Hope orbiter , which has been at work since February 2021.
Japan's asteroid samples faced pandemic, traffic jams on Earth | Space
Take Japan's Hayabusa2 mission, which launched in 2014 to grab pieces of a near-Earth asteroid called Ryugu and delivered those samples to Earth in December 2020. Even when the space rocks reached Japan, the traveling wasn't quite over.
This trip didn't need any rocket fuel, but that doesn't mean it was easy. "This one is, I would say, a really big deal," Keiko Nakamura-Messenger, who until last month was a cosmochemist at JSC, told Space.com. "This is the first time that we did international samples like this."
NASA to ground SOFIA flying observatory mission for good | Space
Following a zero-funding allocation in the White House's 2023 federal budget request in March, NASA and its partners at the German Aerospace Center (known by its German acronym, DLR) said they have agreed to close out operations of the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy ( SOFIA ) ...
In-space manufacturing could help humanity fight climate change, startup says | Space
An in-orbit manufacturing startup that plans to launch its first demonstration mission this year believes that space factories could help humanity slash greenhouse gas emissions and thwart climate change.
Space Forge, based in Wales, is set to launch its returnable and reusable ForgeStar in-orbit manufacturing experiment this summer with Virgin Orbit from the UK's new spaceport in Cornwall, in what is expected to be the first-ever orbital launch from British soil.
United Arab Emirates astronaut to fly to space station with SpaceX next year | Space
An astronaut from an Arab nation will head to the International Space Station (ISS) for a long-term stay next year for the first time ever, if all goes according to plan.
The Houston company Axiom Space announced today (April 29) that it has signed a deal with the Mohammed bin Rashid Space Center (MBRSC), the space agency of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), to fly a UAE astronaut to the orbiting lab on SpaceX's Crew-6 mission, which is expected to launch in ...
Some of the moon's water may come from Earth, study suggests | Space
Some of the water deposits that scientists believe exist on the moon may have an unexpected source — the atmosphere of our Earth.
About a lake's-worth of water that evaporated millions of years ago from Earth's atmosphere may be dispersed under the surface of the moon as liquid deposits or trapped in permafrost, a new study suggests.
Uptick in Solar Activity Parallels Discussion on Effects of Space Weather on the Electrical Grid
Often, our electric grid functions at the whim of the natural world's powerful forces – wind, lightning, Sun. As the solar cycle ramps back up in activity, the power grid reawakens to the threat of space weather, which has the potential to push the system beyond its tipping point.
Power grids are complex systems and solar activity resulting in geomagnetic storms can wreak havoc on grid infrastructure. Current ability to predict such storms exists, but is only as mature as weather prediction was 50 years ago.
