Why did NASA put so much faith in the European agency’s rocket to carry James Webb? So with the precision of the launch method, James got more fuel for ten years. That means James Web will be around for over 20 years. The other is reliability.i.e83 consecutive wins from 2003 to 2017. In the language…

Here are some facts about Poltergeist: placed in the constellation Virgolocated 2,300 light-years away;over four times as massive as the Earth; has an orbital period of about 66 days;orbits the…
2022 AE1, an asteroid the size of the Tungaska event 2022 AE1 with a diameter of about 70 m, was discovered on January 6, 2022, and currently has the highest risk of impact to Earth on all objects near Earth. A few days after its discovery, it was rated 2022 AE1 Torino Scale 1. The…
It shows the remains of a star that exploded thousands of years ago! The entire nebula is about 110 light-years across, showing only a small fraction of it.
Like Earth, most of the planets we know have the same shape. But researchers now say the answer is no, whether all planets, including those outside the Solar System, are spherical. Some planets are also in the shape of potatoes, according to a new study. Researchers have discovered a potato – shaped planet called Wasp-103b…

The universe is made up of stars, galaxies, nebulae, and galaxies at smaller scales. Below is the most distant image of the universe taken over the years by the Muse1 instrument in the European southern obse in Chile, almost as if the nerve cells in the brain were intertwined. Covering an area of about 15…
Today, (January 12, 2022), the fourth qualifying test of the Cryogenic Engine (CE-20 E9) for the Gaganyan program, 720 seconds long, was conducted at the ISRO Propulsion Complex (IPRC) (Mahendragiri, Tamil Nadu). The engine performance met the test objectives and the engine parameters were matched to the expected level throughout the test.This successful experiment is…
Many people have heard of a movie called Interstellar. The interstellar space begins where the Sun’s magnetic field ends. This region is beyond the solar system. To be more precise, the interstellar region begins where the true boundaries of our solar system end. A group of scientists have devised a plan to send creatures to…
Many people have seen pictures of a volcanic eruption called Tonga in the Pacific Ocean. The epicenter was reported below the Pacific Ocean floor, however; no tsunami alert was issued. With each volcanic eruption, large amounts of ash, dust, and vapor are released. Depending on their strength, these dust particles can reach very high altitudes….
