Some exoplanets (planets beyond our solar system) would have a direct line of sight to observe our planet, according to a team of astronomers. Several missions – such as Kepler or TESS to name a few – have led to the discovery of thousands of exoplanets. NASAs James Webb Telescope and Roman Telesc

While a few weeks ago SpaceX added new satellites to its Starlink constellation, the company faces a serious problem. Although there are still many satellites to be sent into space, a small part of those already present would already be lost. 3% of satellites already down After many difficulties, S

As some countries continue to weaponize space, experts are beginning to imagine what a real showdown might look like above our heads. According to a new report, future space wars are likely to be much slower and more deliberate. A little over two years ago, Donald Trump declared his intention to de

Do you want to create more or less massive objects in a Universe simulator? Precisely, the online game Gravity offers this kind of experience via browsers w eb. Beyond the fun aspect of the game, the creators want to give users concepts related to gravity. Become a deity of Space In the United Stat

A few days ago, the OSIRIS-REx probe landed successfully on the asteroid Bennu in an attempt to collect some rock and dust. According to NASA, the sampling head was so full that it could not close properly. Result:matter escaped into space. You probably havent missed it. On October 21, four years a

New research by Dutch astronomers challenges the results of the explosive study published a few weeks ago suggesting the presence of phosphine (and therefore potentially life) in the atmosphere of Venus. In mid-September, a research team led by astronomer Jane Greaves of Cardiff University announce

For decades, the Russian (or rather Soviet) space conquest has been the subject of futuristic iconography. However, this one was told by a specialized magazine oscillating between science fiction and propaganda. A recently published book has collected the many images from this magazine. Futuristic

The third space power to have sent a man into space, China would like to make our satellite its new playground. In this spirit, the country is currently working on the development of a new rocket capable of taking its taikonauts to the Moon. China has made tremendous progress in the space field in

For the first time in about half a century, NASA is about to send astronauts to the Moon. Before that, those responsible for the Orion spacecraft must fix a rather confusing problem:its toilet smells too strong. A new toilet model is to be tested soon by astronauts. Too smelly toilets Currently, th

A team of astronomers has relied on ESOs Very Large Telescope to image a nearby exoplanet some 20 million years old. Details of the study are published in Astronomy &Astrophysics . While today there are more than 4,200 worlds in more than 2,800 planetary systems, remember that all these planets wer

In 2020, a meteor penetrated the Earths atmosphere before bouncing and streaking through space again. The cameras of the Global Meteor Network managed to film the express passage of this visitor. During its journey around the Sun, the Earth very often finds itself in the line of sight of space rock

US researchers have developed a kind of miniature laboratory that can perform biochemical analyzes. With dimensions close to those of a simple shoebox, this device could equip future rovers exploring Mars and other lands. Amino acids are the key Detectingtraces of extraterrestrial life is a real ch

NASA has just announced the postponement of the launch of its Dragonfly mission on Titan, Saturns moon, to 2027. The reason:the budgetary challenges inherent in the pandemic of coronavirus. Other than Earth, Titan is the only body in the Solar System that has stable surface liquids (compounds of me

A recent study based on data from the ongoing Change 4 mission to the far side of the Moon suggests that future explorers will be exposed about 200 times more radiation than on Earth. Also, astronauts will need walls thick enough to protect them. The problem of radiation One ​​of the main risks of

The U.S. Europa Clipper orbiter will aim to search for signs of life on Jupiters moon Europa in the 2030s. In the meantime, NASA has recently released a new poster of this highly anticipated mission. Last year, NASA confirmed its intention to explore Jupiters moon Europa. We know indeed since the p

NASA has just announced that the first operational manned flight of SpaceXs Crew Dragon capsule will take off on October 31. The crew will consist of three American astronauts and one Japanese astronaut. On May 30, SpaceX propelled astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley to the International Space S

The DAPPER mission will aim to capture low-frequency radio waves emitted during the early epochs of the Universe. To do this, she will have to place herself far from human interference, on the other side of the Moon. To work peacefully, radio astronomers need silence. This is why the terrestrial en

The newly deployed CHEOPS space telescope recently focused on one of the most extreme planets ever isolated:an ultra-hot Jupiter known as WASP-189b. Observatories like TESS and Kepler have led to the discovery of thousands of exoplanets in the Milky Way. What astronomers would like to do now is to

The United Arab Emirates plans to send a rover to the moon in 2024, a senior Emirati official said on Tuesday. If successful, the UAE could become the fourth country in the world to achieve this goal. The Emirati regime has prided itself for some years on being technically progressive. In our time,

If an extraterrestrial life form does exist on Venus, NASA may have already detected it a long time ago without realizing it. In any case, this is what a revision of the data collected by the Pioneer 13 probe in 1978 suggests. On September 14, a team of astronomers surprised the scientific communit
