A recent study confirms a European rock formation that extends from Scotland to Ireland likely holds clues about what was once a “snowball Earth.” More specifically, according to a recent statement from the University College London (UCL), researchers are confident the Port Askaig Formation holds a record from Earth’s history dating back hundreds of millions […]

Eutelsat Group and Bayobab, a subsidiary of MTN Group, have entered into a multi-year agreement to use Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) capacity from Eutelsat’s OneWeb constellation. This collaboration aims to meet enterprises’ growing connectivity demands and support cellular backhaul infrastructure, providing reliable and high-performance network solutions across Africa. Leveraging Advanced Satellite Solutions for Africa’s Connectivity Needs

John McFall is a para-astronaut, and he hopes the first person with disabilities will enter the International Space Station by 2030 — before the complex is slated to retire from service later that year. A European Space Agency (ESA) reserve astronaut, McFall was selected for the program in 2022 based on his experience as a

An uncrewed Russian cargo ship successfully docked at the International Space Station early Saturday (Aug. 17) to deliver tons of fresh gear, food and other vital supplies. The automated Progress 89 spacecraft linked up with the International Space Station (ISS) at 1:53 a.m. EDT (0553 GMT) at the station’s Russian-built Zvezda service module as both

The Coma Cluster of more than 1,000 galaxies is resplendent in this new image from the powerful Dark Energy Camera (DECam) situated in the four-meter Victor M. Blanco Telescope at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile. Located about 321 million light-years away from us in the constellation of Coma Berenices, the Coma galaxy cluster

Scientists at NASA’s Cold Atom Lab (CAL) onboard the International Space Station (ISS) have announced that, for the first time, they have successfully made high-precision measurements using a quantum sensor based on ultra-cold atoms of the element Rubidium.This is a significant achievement with wide-ranging applications, as these sensors could surpass traditional ones in sensitivity and

Boeing Starliner’s two NASA astronauts have been busy in space since arriving two months ago on the first-ever crewed Starliner mission. While astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams were expected to spend 10 days in space after their June 5 launch, it’s now been 71 days — and they will not come home until mid-August

A Mars orbiter has just taken a “deep dive” into an ancient Martian lake, figuratively, at least. Larger than any lake currently on Earth, the dried-up remnants of this ancient lakebed were just captured in incredible detail by the European Space Agency (ESA) Mars Express spacecraft, which has been orbiting the Red Planet since 2003.
