The rate at which the Universe is expanding, known as the Hubble constant, has long been a subject of fascination and curiosity for scientists. This fundamental parameter plays an important role in understanding the evolution and ultimate fate of our cosmos. However, a persistent difference, referred to as the Hubble Tension, has emerged between the […]

After a successful handover to the Crew-8 astronauts, Crew Dragon Endurance and the Crew-7 are preparing to return to Earth from the International Space Station (ISS). The Crew-7 astronauts, led by spacecraft commander Jasmin Moghbeli, have spent just over six months in orbit, conducting various experiments and familiarizing the Crew-8 with life on board the […]

In a recent series of storms that pummeled California with heavy rainfall and powerful winds, the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite mission has proven its effectiveness in capturing detailed data on coastal flooding. The collaborative effort between NASA and the French space agency CNES has provided crucial insights into the impact of these […]

Jupiter’s moon Europa has long fascinated scientists, as it’s believed to have a subsurface salty ocean that could potentially support extraterrestrial life. In a groundbreaking discovery, NASA’s Juno spacecraft has directly measured the rate of oxygen production on Europa’s surface for the first time. The findings, published in the journal Nature Astronomy, reveal that previous […]
