SpaceX launched 22 Starlink internet satellites to orbit from California on Sunday (Oct. 29), on the first of two planned missions for the day. A Falcon 9 rocket lifted off from California’s Vandenberg Space Force Base on Sunday at 5 a.m. EDT (0900 GMT; 2 a.m. local California time). The Falcon 9’s first stage came […]

Scientists have created an artificial intelligence (AI) program that can detect alien life in physical samples — though they aren’t sure exactly how it works. The new machine-learning algorithm — trained using living cells, fossils, meteorites and lab-made chemicals — can distinguish between samples of biological and nonbiological origin 90% of the time, according to

Early next month, SpaceX will send a clutch of science experiments to the space station investigating a range of topics, from high-speed laser communications to rolling atmospheric waves on Earth. A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, carrying the uncrewed Dragon spacecraft, is scheduled to launch toward the International Space Station (ISS) no earlier than Nov. 5,

The Full Hunter’s Moon of October will see the Earth’s shadow pass across its face this weekend, creating a partial lunar eclipse. The lunar eclipse will be fully visible from Africa, Europe, Asia and parts of Western Australia. The eastern tip of South America will get a small glimpse of the eclipse at moonrise, but

Testing is now underway on NASA’s Dragonfly rotorcraft, a nuclear-powered, car-sized aerial drone that will look for potential precursors to life on Saturn’s moon, Titan. But before Dragonfly can take to the sky, NASA has to make sure it can withstand the moon’s unique environment. Dragonfly’s main goal is to study the complex chemistry on

China’s youngest crew so far is on its way to the Tiangong space station. A Long March 2F rocket lifted off from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in the Gobi Desert today (Oct. 25) at 11:14 p.m. EDT  (0314 GMT or 11:14 a.m. Beijing Time on Oct. 26), carrying the Shenzhou 17 spacecraft and its

On the sidelines of the ongoing AU-EU Space Dialogue at Dakar, Senegal, Dr Tidiane Ouattara, AUC Space Expert and the GMES & Africa Programme Coordinator, shared some crucial updates regarding the African Space Agency (AfSA) and various other space-related initiatives led by the AUC on the continent. Road to AfSA’s Establishment  During their Twenty-Sixth Ordinary

Thanks to a combination of images from NASA’s Curiosity rover, scans of sedimentary rock beneath the Gulf of Mexico on Earth and computer simulations, geologists have identified the ancient, eroded remnants of rivers in a number of craters on Mars. A team of researchers examining data collected by NASA’s Curiosity rover at Gale crater, a

Between October 24 and 26, 2023, the African Union (AU) and European Union (EU) are convening the AU-EU Space Dialogue in Dakar, Senegal. Over the next three days, this high-level discussion will serve as a platform for key space stakeholders from Africa and Europe to exchange knowledge and collaborate on significant projects in various critical
