Blue Origin’s powerful new orbital rocket has risen on the launch pad to prep for a debut flight that could happen soon. New Glenn was stacked at Launch Complex 36 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, which is next door to NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. Blue Origin has not announced an official launch […]
Hello! This question was asked but i don’t think the question itself was answered, or maybe i just didn’t understand it. If we know that if an object or particle is falling into a black hole and from an outside observers point of view it takes an almost infinite time to fall in then how […]
Scientists could soon get a precise age for the giant impact basins on the moon, and a better understanding of the impact history of the young Earth, thanks to a new geological map of the moon’s youngest large impact site, the Mare Orientale basin. Mare Orientale sits on the edge of the face of the […]
A Martian meteorite nicknamed Black Beauty Carl B. Agee (University of New Mexico) Crystals inside a Martian meteorite hint that there may have been plentiful hot water on Mars when the rock formed 4.45 billion years ago. The rock, nicknamed Black Beauty, was blasted into space by an impact on the surface of Mars before […]
Scientists have found what seems to be the oldest direct evidence of hot water flowing on Mars during its ancient past. The discovery could further indicate that the Red Planet, despite its arid and desolate appearance today, may have been capable of supporting life long ago. The evidence was delivered to Earth and sealed within […]
Bacteria on a sample from the Ryugu asteroid, viewed with an electron microscope Matthew J. Genge et al. 2024 A rock from the asteroid Ryugu that was brought back to Earth appears to be festooned with microbial life. But these microbes almost certainly came from Earth rather than outer space, say researchers. This contamination serves […]
This edge-on viewpoint makes the galaxy’s disk appear as a sharp line through space, with its prominent dust lanes forming thick bands of clouds that obscure our view of the galaxy’s glow. If we could fly above the galaxy, viewing it from the top down, we would see this dust scattered across UGC 10043, possibly […]

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 22 ■ This evening may be your last chance to spot Mercury in twilight this year. Try for it 21° (about two fists at arm’s length) lower right of brilliant Venus about 30 to 45 minutes after sunset, as shown below. Every day now Mercury fades and sinks. Its next evening apparition won’t […]
I have a gut feeling based on what we’ve seen over the last year that we’ll see a starship go to the moon by the end of 2025. This will help pave the way for HLS and the things that need to happen for that like propellant transfer on orbit as well as propellant temperature […]
