SPACERare but possible, astronauts do get sick too, and they fall ill in space, as well. Indeed, as they float off-earth, these spacemen have suffered from upper respiratory infections or URI, or colds, skin infections and urinary tract infections or UTI,
An exoplanet that rains molten iron was discovered by astronomers. A bizarre exoplanet that rains molten iron was discovered by astronomers. The exoplanet's weather conditions include a steady showering of molten iron rain, 2,400 degrees Celsius temperature, and winds above 10,000mph.
Aspiring astronauts, your wait is finally over! Now, you can apply to be a part of the team as NASA opens its doors for new applicants as it aims to send another pair of man and woman astronauts to the moon come 2024.

Koch and Meir performed a third successful spacewalk to repair old batteries on the ISS. Early this week, NASA astronauts Christina Koch and Jessica Meir once again made history as they accomplished their third spacewalk to replace the aging batteries at the International Space Station.
While the Artemis mission is on its way, NASA is taking mankind further into space and into the asteroid belt with its new mission. This will be the first time for humanity to have a close-up look at the Trojan asteroids.
This new year marks a new chapter for the agency as they try to achieve another giant leap for mankind. Earlier, NASA introduced the new spacesuits that will be worn by the astronauts that will embark on the Artemis mission.
TESS is off to a good start as the planet hunter discovers an Earth-like exoplanet orbiting a red dwarf star. However, debates are still going on regarding whether or not the planet is habitable or not.
NASA lost contact with its tiny satellite that was designed to look for exoplanets. This weekend, NASA's mission operators at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California lost contact with Arcsecond Space Telescope Enabling Research in Astrophysics or ASTERIA, a satellite designed to study exoplanets.
ICESat-2 has harvested more data than its predecessor and it helps scientists, big time. Satellite launching -- especially those that are observing Earth -- is not exactly news unless of course, the satellites are from private companies like SpaceX or Boeing so when NASA's observation satellite ICESat-2 was launched last September 2018, it was regarded as just another day at work.
Fire plays on a different set of rules in space and in this experiment, astronauts try to understand the science of combustion in zero-gravity environments.
There is no stopping humans in exploring space. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration ended the decade with the unveiling the Mars 2020 rover which is scheduled to set off to Mars.
They may crash hard but these space agencies are not giving up on space missions. Spaceflight is not always about success. Sometimes, a slight change in calculations can send spacecraft crashing but if there is a silver lining in these failed missions, it's that astronomers and engineers have improved their theories in creating spacecraft that will eventually complete their mission.
