Scientists have made an exciting discovery at Jupiter’s equator using the James Webb Space Telescope. They have found a high-speed jet stream that had previously gone unnoticed. This newfound jet stream will provide valuable insights into how the layers of Jupiter’s turbulent atmosphere interact.The discovery was made on July 27, 2022, when the James Webb […]

Scientists Solve Mystery Behind Marsquake A team of international scientists has successfully determined the cause of the largest seismic event ever recorded on Mars. This seismic event, also known as a Marsquake, occurred on May 4, 2022, and was observed by NASA’s InSight Mars lander. After ruling out a meteor impact, the team concluded that […]

Arianespace’s Vega Rocket Scrubs Penultimate Flight, Delaying Launch of 12 Satellites Arianespace’s lightweight Vega rocket was forced to scrub its penultimate flight on Friday, delaying the launch of 12 satellites, including the THEOS-2 Earth-observation satellite for Thailand and Taiwan’s Triton weather satellite. The liftoff was scheduled for 10:36 PM local time from the Centre Spatial […]

ESA and Airbus, in partnership with NASA, recently hosted a media event at the Airbus facility in Bremen, Germany, to showcase the progress of the Artemis II mission. The event was attended by the entire crew of Artemis II, who visited the facility where Airbus is assembling the Orion European Service Module (ESM). The ESM […]

Scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery using the James Webb Space Telescope, revealing the presence of carbon-bearing molecules in the atmosphere of exoplanet K2-18 b. This finding has provided valuable insights into the nature of this intriguing exoplanet, which is believed to be a Hycean planet, potentially featuring a hydrogen-rich atmosphere and a water-covered surface. […]

The joint European Space Agency (ESA)/NASA Solar Orbiter spacecraft has made a groundbreaking discovery, uncovering a series of tiny jets of material being ejected from the Sun’s outer atmosphere. These plasma jets, which last for only 20 to 100 seconds and travel at speeds of 100 kilometers per second, could potentially be the source of […]

Wings Unfolded: The Huginn Mission Begins on the International Space Station In a remarkable display of international collaboration, the International Space Station (ISS) welcomed its newest crew members on August 27th, as Crew-7 successfully docked with the orbiting laboratory. This historic mission marks the beginning of ESA astronaut Andreas Mogensen’s Huginn mission, during which he […]

NASA, in collaboration with international partners, recently conducted a field expedition to study ancient Earth in order to gain insight into the search for life on Mars. This expedition brought together leaders from NASA’s Mars Exploration Program, the Australian Space Agency, the European Space Agency (ESA), and the Australian Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization […]

The Mitsubishi Heavy Industries H-IIA launch vehicle is gearing up for its 47th flight, which will carry the Smart Lander for Investigating Moon (SLIM) robotic lunar lander and the X-Ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM) X-ray telescope. This flight marks the second launch of 2023 for the H-IIA, with only three more flights remaining before […]

Engineers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California are putting the legs and footpads of the Sample Retrieval Lander to the test. This lander is being designed to bring rock core samples collected by NASA’s Perseverance rover back to Earth as part of the Mars Sample Return campaign. The lander will be the largest […]
