Nearing the end of their life, they sit quietly for long periods of time, barely noticeable, before suddenly puffing out a cloud of smoke. A mysterious new type of star nicknamed “old smoker” has been discovered hiding in the heart of our Milky Way galaxy, astronomers revealed on Friday. The “peculiar” puffing behavior of these […]

An asteroid discovered earlier this month will reach its closest point to Earth on Saturday (Jan. 27), when it will soar through the sky at a distance closer to us than the moon. Astronomers first detected the up to 121-foot-wide (37 meters) asteroid, dubbed 2024 BJ, on Jan. 17. They documented their discovery the following day, after calculating that

“Water on a planet this small is a landmark discovery. It pushes closer than ever to characterizing truly Earth-like worlds.” Using the Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered that the atmosphere of a relatively small planet outside the solar system is rich with water vapor. Don’t plan a vacation to this destination just yet, however.

A pair of linked solar flares recently exploded near-simultaneously from sunspots on different hemispheres of our home star, triggering radio blackouts on Earth. A pair of powerful solar flares recently exploded “almost simultaneously” from two different sunspots located on opposite hemispheres of our star. The extremely rare phenomenon, known as a sympathetic solar flare, is

The search for water on Mars could include a hunt from Red Planet skies. An early-stage vehicle, affectionately called MAGGIE, would search for water on Mars from high in the planet’s atmosphere. In fact, MAGGIE just received its first tranche of funding from NASA on the long road to getting ready for flight. While there’s

Sierra Space has successfully tested a full-scale version of an inflatable module it is developing for commercial space stations. The company announced Jan. 22 that it performed a burst test of a full-sized version of its Large Integrated Flexible Environment (LIFE) module on a test stand at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center, demonstrating that the

Everything appears to be fine for our Red Planet robots — NASA can talk to Ingenuity again. I held my breath for a moment on Jan. 18, when scientists announced they’d lost contact with the Perseverance Mars rover’s helicopter friend, Ingenuity. Ingenuity had been nearing completion of its 72nd flight — a liftoff far past

 The Joint Programme Office (JPO) of the Satellite Navigation in Africa Support Programme III is spearheading the advancement of Satellite Navigation in Africa. As a key component of the Joint Africa-EU Strategy (JAES) on regional integration and trade, its primary objective is to bolster safety in civil aviation by introducing satellite navigation technologies in Africa.

The two companies with NASA contracts to develop crewed lunar landers are also beginning work on cargo versions of their spacecraft. NASA has exercised options in Human Landing System (HLS) awards made to Blue Origin and SpaceX to begin initial design and development work of versions of their landers that can carry large amounts of

Japan’s high-precision “Moon Sniper” lander has touched down on the lunar surface in a first for the country, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) has said. But the agency said it was still “checking its status” due to an issue with the craft’s power supply. Officials also said they needed more time to analyse whether
