EmDrive, the physics-defying contraption ostensibly produces thrust, no fuel required. Spaceflight is hard. Blasting heavy cargo, spacecraft, and maybe people to respectable speeds over interplanetary distances requires an amount of propellant too massive for current rockets to haul into the void.
The agency is launching its newest venture into space. This time, they are looking at a solar exploration where they are to send space rovers in many parts of the solar system to collect data. Particularly, they will be sending spacecraft to the moon, Saturn and the red planet.
Ahead of the rotorcraft landing on Titan, SMU chemists will be recreating the conditions on Titan in multiple glass cylinders, each the size of a needle top, so they can learn about what kind of chemical structures could form on the surface of Titan
The massive quantities of gold, iron and nickel contained in this asteroid are mind-blowing. Whether it was the Big Bang, Midas or God himself, we don't really need to unlock the mystery of the origins of gold when we've already identified an asteroid worth $700 quintillion in precious heavy metals.
In 2018, a mystery in the field of extragalactic astrophysics has been revealed and it woke up the curious mind. The study was published in the journal Nature and it has since then paved the way for more studies about it to be conducted.
How helpful can amateur astronomy be? What is amazing about amateur astronomy is the fact that it encourages people to get out and look up. Not only does it make them discover things in the sky, but it also fosters a kind of appreciation of what's above us and all the beauty that it comes with. Amateur astronomy, no matter how simple the ways may be, it helps advance science in ways that may be difficult for professional astronomers.
The scientists provided a confident framework for understanding Vesta’s geological timeline, including the massive collision that caused the formation of the thick crust
A number of space explorations have been bound to discover more about the Red Planet, but scientists say it is exposure to extreme levels of radiation that make each trip truly dangerous.
Scientist have announced that Jupiter will soon be more closer to Earth than it has ever been. You can see its moons even without a high grade telescope.
The universe is unimaginably big and it is teeming with life, but the existence of life outside of the Earth remains to be unknown to humans. Where the heck is everybody? Are aliens for real?
Its mass is 20 Earth masses and it speeds around its star in a full orbit every 1.3 days. Astronomers have found an exoplanet so rare that they have deemed it "The Forbidden Planet," according to a new study.
