Introduction In a groundbreaking initiative that could redefine Martian exploration, NASA is pioneering the development of a Mars solar-powered plane named the Mars Aerial and Ground Intelligent Explorer (MAGGIE). As part of the Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) Program, MAGGIE represents a significant leap in the field of aerospace technology. This Mars solar-powered plane is tailored […]
Astronomers have seen meteor-like streaks, the shooting stars on the sun’s surface that have never been seen before. However, it would help if you didn’t try to catch these falling stars. What was the scientist’s perspective on the discovery of shooting stars? “If humans were aliens who could live on the sun’s surface, we would […]
News: This image displays a swirl near Jupiter’s north pole and shows the lightning on Jupiter. Where does the Lightning on Jupiter Come From? Lightning originates from water-based clouds on Earth and is predominantly observed near the equator. On Jupiter, however, it’s likely that lightning is generated from a mixture of ammonia and water clouds […]
In order to detect any sort of small features of the solar wind, NASA’s Parker Solar probe has flown near enough to our sun. And revealed about its origin that is “coronal holes” in the sun’s atmosphere. “A Blessing in a Disguise”? How is it Possible? Scientists may now be able to better forecast solar […]
You will be surprised to know that a new, and giant sunspot solar flare is currently visible, and to put the icing on the cake, it’s four times bigger than the size of the Earth and can be seen with the naked eye. Sounds intriguing? Yes, it is! If you are an astrology person and […]
Jupiter’s Volcanic Moon Io, is set for a historic close encounter with NASA’s Juno Spacecraft. The orbiter designed to study gas giants has traveled more than 510 million miles and has observed three of Jupiter’s four largest moons up close. When is NASA’s Juno spacecraft scheduled to pass by Io and Jupiter? On Tuesday, May […]
What are solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CME) and how do they affect Earth’s magnetic field? Solar flares and CMEs (coronal mass ejections) are powerful events that happen in the solar system. They send a lot of energy toward Earth’s magnetic field in the form of plasma gas. This can cause problems for power […]
NASA’s Ingenuity helicopter has been making waves on Mars with its successful flights and groundbreaking images. The helicopter’s recent accomplishment involved ascending 40 feet above the Martian terrain and taking a stunning view of an alien landscape. Let’s take a closer look at the details that were revealed in this magnificent image. The View from […]
The skies over Australia and neighboring regions were ablaze with wonder as the rare and breathtaking solar eclipse of April 20, 2023, took center stage. From Western Australia to Timor-Leste and Indonesia, thousands of people gathered to witness this extraordinary astronomical event. The eclipse was a hybrid, starting as an annular eclipse in the Indian […]
Space debris is a growing concern for the space industry and the safety of our planet. As we continue to rely more on satellites for communication, navigation, and scientific research, the accumulation of debris in Earth’s orbit poses a serious threat to our space infrastructure. It’s estimated that there are over 100 million pieces of […]
