Scientists have discovered a cave beneath the surface of the Moon that could be accessible for future lunar explorers. This underground chamber is located not far from the Apollo landing site, specifically around 400 kilometers away from the “Sea of Tranquility,” where Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin first set foot on the Moon 55 years…
NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory recently marked its 25th anniversary by releasing an image of the massive galaxy NGC 6872.

Many of us have seen videos of Elon Musk’s Falcon-9 rocket landing back on Earth. However, the true scale of this impressive piece of technology is often not fully appreciated. The rocket’s size is much larger than most people realize. In one striking image, a person is seen walking near the Falcon-9, highlighting the sheer…
The abandoned Russian satellite, Resurs-P1, has exploded into more than 100 pieces, with the reasons for the explosion still unclear. This unexpected event has raised concerns among the international space community due to the potential dangers posed by the debris.

NASA’s Mars helicopter, Ingenuity, has recently set new records in its mission to explore the Red Planet. Originally designed for just five flights, Ingenuity has surpassed all expectations by completing over 50 flights since its arrival with the Perseverance rover in February 2021. Ingenuity’s latest flight, conducted last week, saw the helicopter reach an altitude…
Confirmation of loss of contact with Voyager 2, currently approximately 21 billion kilometers from Earth. On July 21, commands sent from Earth to Voyager 2 accidentally caused Voyager’s High Gain Antenna to point 2 degrees away from Earth. Therefore Voyager cannot currently receive messages from Earth or send messages in the direction of Earth. A…
In the 1960s, while the United States was constantly trying to touch the moon, the Cold War pushed the Soviet Union to touch Venus. Of the 28 probes they sent in succession, only 13 penetrated the atmosphere of Venus, and of those, Venera 13 was able to take the best color image. They beat America…
This image was taken as part of the JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey (JADES) — one of Webb’s largest first year science programs. Though data is still coming in, JADES is already revolutionizing what we know about galaxies and star formation in the early universe. Light from distant galaxies is stretched to longer wavelengths and…
Saturn’s largest moon. It is bigger than our moon and Mercury. Another is that streams, rivers, lakes, etc. are found here like ours. (not water.. made of ethane, methane) It has a thick atmosphere, one and a half times the Earth’s atmospheric pressure.None of the other 177 known moons in the Solar System have an…
This Earth-like planet orbits within the habitable zone (habitable zone) of its parent star. In the background, its other Earth-like sister planet, TOI 700 d, can also be seen a distant speck. We are not alone in this vast universe.? right..?? Photo and other information credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Robert Hurt.
