NASA engineers are pushing aviation toward a more sustainable future with a scaled-down jet engine that fits comfortably on a desk. This advancement, represented by the less than 4.5-foot-long DGEN380 Aero-Propulsion Research Turbofan…
From discovering planets orbiting distant stars to investigating molecules in the atmospheres of these distant worlds, scientists have been searching for clues that could indicate the presence of life forms beyond our planet….
NASA recently released two new films that offer a fascinating look at the transformations taking place in two iconic celestial sources: Cassiopeia A and the Crab Nebula. Both represent the remnants of massive…
In fact, these formations are not actually spiders that have been photographed on Mars. The small, dark shapes emerge when spring sunlight hits layers of carbon dioxide deposited during the dark months of…
Scientists detected the first long-predicted gravitational wave in 2015, and researchers have been eager for better detectors ever since. But Earth is hot and seismically noisy, and this will always limit the effectiveness…
The venerable Voyager 1 spacecraft is finally calling home again. This comes as a huge relief to mission engineers, scientists and Voyager fans around the world. On November 14, 2023, the aging spacecraft…
Any dedicated “umbrophile” will tell you: no two eclipses are exactly alike. The weather, solar activity, and the simply expeditionary nature of reaching and remaining in the Moon’s shadow for those brief moments…
