How NASA plans to protect Mars crew from space radiation
While it’s true that space radiation is one of the biggest challenges for a human journey to Mars, NASA said it is developing technologies and countermeasures to ensure a safe and successful journey to the red planet. Continue reading How NASA plans to protect Mars crew from space radiation
SpaceX to put humans on Mars by 2024, cut flight times on Earth
SpaceX on Friday unveiled plans to put humans on Mars as early as 2024 and drastically reduce flight times on Earth with its “most powerful” rocket, completing the longest flight on our home planet within an hour. Continue reading SpaceX to put humans on Mars by 2024, cut flight times on Earth
NASA teams up with Russian agency to send humans in deep space
With the aim to build a space station orbiting the Moon before sending humans further in deep space, NASA has entered into an agreement with Russian space agency Roscosmos, reflecting the common vision for human space exploration that the agencies share. Continue reading NASA teams up with Russian agency to send humans in deep space
Eating habits of black holes make some galaxies appear brighter
Researchers have found that some galaxies appear brighter to astronomers’ telescopes because of faster rates at which their supermassive black holes swallow matter and spit out energy, not because of the way the galaxies face Earth, as earlier believed. Continue reading Eating habits of black holes make some galaxies appear brighter
Scientists decode mystery of Pluto’s ‘bladed terrain’
Shedding light on mysterious formations resembling giant knife blades of ice on Pluto, scientists have found that the “bladed terrain” is made almost entirely of methane ice, and likely formed as a specific kind of erosion wore away the surfaces, leaving dramatic crests and sharp divides. Continue reading Scientists decode mystery of Pluto’s ‘bladed terrain’

NASA’s asteroid sample return spacecraft flew past Earth on Friday on its way to asteroid Bennu, for a rendezvous next August. Continue reading NASA’s asteroid-bound spacecraft flies by Earth
Hubble spots strange binary asteroid with comet-like features
Using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, an international team of astronomers has found that an unusual object in the asteroid belt is, in fact, two asteroids orbiting each other that have comet-like features. Continue reading Hubble spots strange binary asteroid with comet-like features
