AP/PTI(AP04_04_2026_000008B) NASA’s decision to send smartphones to the Moon sounds simple. It isn’t. Behind those iPhones on Artemis II…
The night before a major event, be it a major event in one’s life or a major event in space, is often a time filled with nervous energy, and astronauts are no exception. As NASA gears up for its historic mission to the Moon, a mission that marks a return to the Moon after over…
NASA’s Artemis II mission is a key turning point for lunar exploration, moving us from the short-term ‘flags and footprints’ focus of the 1960s to a framework for long-term sustainability. Apollo missions landed on the Moon using the Saturn V rocket and made short-term landings, while Artemis II utilises the most powerful rocket ever built,…
The moon has been a symbol of exploration for years. However, now it is not just a symbol of exploration but also a destination for long-term human presence. NASA has just announced its new plan to build a moon base for $20 billion. This is a huge step for space exploration and a new way…
The return journey to the Moon is gradually starting to take form as NASA works towards launching its powerful rocket to take astronauts to the Moon. After weeks of testing and repairs, NASA has started rolling its giant rocket to the launch pad to begin a new push towards a historic mission to the Moon….
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has captured a rare moment involving the comet C/2025 K1 (ATLAS) as it began breaking apart. Events like this are not often seen, mainly because comet fragmentation is difficult to anticipate and even harder to observe at the right time. The results were later published in the journal Icarus.Interestingly, the comet…
NASA‘s Van Allen Probe A, a 600-kilogram satellite launched back in 2012, is plummeting back to Earth after 14 years studying the planet’s hazardous radiation belts. Amid headlines screaming “NASA satellite crash,” fears of destruction grip the public, yet experts insist the threat is minimal. Most of the spacecraft will incinerate in the atmosphere due…
NASA’s Space Umbrella Project: Earth’s magnetic field vs. solar winds (Image source: NASA) There is a constant outward flow of charged particles from the Sun. This flow, known as the solar wind, moves across space and reaches Earth every day. When it arrives, it meets the planet’s magnetic field, an invisible region that bends and…
Nasa on Wednesday announced that it has begun rolling its grounded Artemis II moon rocket and Orion spacecraft off the launch pad and back to the Vehicle Assembly Building at Kennedy Space Center for additional repairs, following the emergence of a new technical problem.The 322‑foot (98‑metre) Space Launch System (SLS) rocket had remained at Launch…
