The first spacecraft to launch our solar system had a template with information about the Earth and man … Such a template was included thinking that any Intelligent life might find it. Lucy, which launched yesterday, also included a similar template.But it was just that I could not address another Alien life. Lucy’s template is…
Chinese researchers say rocks brought from the moon as part of the Chang E5 mission are 2 billion years old. It is about 100 million years younger than the rocks that were previously brought to Earth from the Moon. Researchers at the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences point out that this is evidence that volcanoes…
Lucy is the first space mission to observe Trojan asteroids. Jupiter’s asteroids formed in many parts of the Solar System and then collapsed under its strong gravitational points.Trojan asteroids.There are more than 7,000 of these asteroids, which share Jupiter’s orbit around the Sun. Lucy will travel 400 km near seven of these asteroids. This is…
The Tianwen-1 space mission, developed by China and launched on its own, was a complete success. The mission involved Tianwen Lander and a rover named Jurong, which landed in Utopia Planetia, north of Mars. This makes China the second country to successfully land a rover on Mars after the US. The Jurong Rover’s mission is…
February 7, 1984. Everyone in NASA’s mission control room is out of breath – out of control, Bruce Macandoules walks into space! This is the first time in history that a self-designed MMU control system has been used for space travel. Realizing that his wife Bernice, who was in the control room, was upset, Macandoules…

Science reconstructs the faces of three Egyptians believed to have lived 2797 years ago. These human forms were reborn over millennia using genetic information obtained from their mummies. The mummies are believed to have been buried in the ancient city of Cairo between 780 BC and 5 AD. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute in…
In the mid-twentieth century, aerospace engineering made great strides in aircraft technology. That is, the aircraft was redesigned, including increased safety so that it could carry more passengers and go faster. Until the 1950s, aircraft windows were square. When commercial aviation began, airlines began flying at higher altitudes to save aviation fuel. (Normal passenger planes…
