Saturn, the magnificent ringed planet, is undoubtedly the most stunning planet to observe through a telescope. Its fantastic system of rings is easily visible, even with a small telescope. However, these rings are slowly “closing up” from our perspective and will appear edge-on in 2025. Despite this, Saturn’s rings still retain much of their glory […]

Delight at Dream Lake: Unraveling Mars’ Ancient History In a thrilling discovery, the Perseverance rover has ventured into a new geological wonderland on Mars, leaving behind the boulder field at “Fall River Pass” to explore an enigmatic sedimentary rock unit. This intriguing rock formation, first spotted by the Ingenuity helicopter during its 52nd flight, has […]

In a significant development in the satellite realm, Capella Federal, a subsidiary of Capella Space, has secured a contract for Proliferated Low Earth Orbit Satellite-Based Services (PLEO) through the U.S. Space Systems Command (SSC). This contract aims to enhance collaboration between Capella, SSC, and the U.S. Space Force to provide round-the-clock global imagery crucial for […]

The James Webb Space Telescope, a collaboration between NASA, ESA, and CSA, has recently captured stunning images of the Ring Nebula, also known as M57 and NGC 6720. This well-known planetary nebula, located approximately 2,500 light-years away from Earth, has been observed with unprecedented detail. The new images taken by the Webb telescope provide remarkable […]

In the vast expanse of the night sky, there are countless wonders waiting to be discovered. One such marvel is Barnard’s ‘E’, a remarkable object located in the constellation of Aquila. This celestial spectacle is formed from the dark nebulae Barnard 142 and Barnard 143, also known as B142/143. Dark nebulae are dense clouds of […]

Mars, the Red Planet, has always intrigued scientists in their search for signs of extraterrestrial life. Unlike Earth, Mars lacks plate tectonics and its surface remains relatively unchanged over billions of years. This stability has allowed remnants of ancient rivers and lakes to be preserved on the Martian surface. In 2012, NASA’s Curiosity rover embarked […]

Russia’s Luna-25 probe, the country’s first Moon mission in almost 50 years, has unfortunately crashed on the Moon’s surface. The Russian space agency, Roscosmos, announced that the crash occurred during pre-landing maneuvers, but did not provide further details about the incident. This failed mission comes at a time when Russia is facing a high number […]

On Aug. 19, the Russian spacecraft Luna 25 experienced a tragic accident during a planned orbit maneuver. After successfully completing an eight-day flight and two orbit corrections, Luna 25 was positioned in a circumlunar orbit with dimensions of 90 by 113 kilometers. The next step was to transfer to a pre-landing orbit with dimensions of […]

In December 2022, NASA lost contact with its InSight Mars lander after it had been operating on the Martian surface for over four years. Despite this setback, scientists have continued to analyze the data collected by InSight and have made some exciting discoveries. One team of scientists, led by Sebastien Le Maistre of the Royal […]

Mars Rover Curiosity is nearing the Gediz Vallis Ridge, a fascinating geological feature that has been a topic of discussion since the rover’s landing over 11 years ago. The ridge, which marks a contact between the underlying “sulfate unit” bedrock and the overlying ridge, is finally within reach. This marks an exciting milestone in Curiosity’s […]
