The scientific community is looking for a way to divert the asteroids that are targeting the Earth. As part of this, a defense system developed by NASA is preparing for its first test. The defense system is designed to crash into a spacecraft and change its direction. The test, scheduled for the 23rd of this…
Scientists predict that an asteroid the size of Burj Khalifa will pass close to Earth by mid-December. Named 163899, the asteroid is about 791 meters in diameter and about two kilometers long. Burj Khalifa is the tallest man-made structure on earth. However, the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico has previously observed that the asteroid could…
Let’s take a quick look at the records set by the Apollo 15 mission in 1971. The largest payload of 45,500 kg delivered to the Moon’s orbit, 295 hours, the longest manned mission to the lunar surface, and the first fully equipped deep space electric vehicle to fly to the moon in 18 hours. Spend…
Mariner was the first spacecraft to be launched to study Mercury on November 3, 1973Launched by NASA, this robotic spacecraft was the first spacecraft to fly over multiple planets. What is a fly-by or gravity assist? This is a technique used to increase the speed of an exploration vehicle when it is sent into space….
The earth is not the center of the universe Only the moon revolves around the earth All the planets orbit the sun The distance from the Earth to the Sun is negligible compared to the distance to the stars The stars seem to move due to the self-rotation of the earth The daily motion of…
NASA’s Artemis program aims to land humans on the moon to help carry out scientific and exploration missions to more places, including Mars. NASA’s project focuses on three key components that enable permanent human presence and research on the lunar surface: A lunar surface area vehicle (LTV) used to orbit the moon. Basically, it’s a…
The main attraction of comets is their shiny long tail. Most of a comet will be frozen ice. This frozen part, about a kilometer in size, is called the nucleus. The nucleus contains ice, dust, and frozen gases. As the comet approaches the Sun, the heat causes the ice to evaporate directly. At the same…
Water vapor around Jupiter’s moon Ganymede. This amazing phenomenon was discovered by the Hubble Telescope. Ganymede is the largest moon in the Solar System. The Hubble Space Telescope has found evidence of water vapor in the atmosphere around Jupiter’s moon Ganymede. It has been found that vapor is formed as the ice sheets change from…
This is an excellent example of international cooperation in the field of scientific research. The station is maintained by five NASA-led space agencies. In addition to NASA in the United States, JAXA in Japan, Roscosmos in Russia, and CSA in Canada, the European Space Agency (ESA). The space exploration scene, which was once in the…
Olympus Mons is the largest known volcano in the Solar System. Its height is 22– 25 km. More than two and a half times our Mount Everest. But beyond the height, the mountain is located over a large area. 3 lakh square kilometers. Scientists disagree that Olympus Mons has been inactive for some time.The image…
