The Artemis II crew has captured a historic, high-quality image of Earth setting over the Moon's horizon. This stunning 'Earthset' view, never before seen by humans, was taken from the far side of the Moon and showcases the phenomenon of earthshine illuminating the lunar surface.
New research suggests that the soil on Mars may naturally inhibit Earth life. Experiments with hardy tardigrades show that Martian regolith simulants contain compounds that slow down or stop microbial activity. This finding could be crucial for planetary protection during future human missions to Mars.
Two enormous gamma-ray bubbles, stretching 50,000 light-years, have been discovered above and below the Milky Way. Their distinct high-energy emissions and sharp edges suggest a powerful, sudden event in our galaxy's past, possibly linked to its central supermassive black hole.
The Artemis II mission is breaking records as its four astronauts journey around the Moon. The crew has surpassed the Apollo 13 distance record and will perform a close lunar flyby. This mission marks a significant step in humanity's return to deep space exploration.
Scientists at CERN are producing and studying antimatter to solve the cosmic mystery of why the universe is dominated by matter. This elusive substance, created in a specialized factory, could reveal the fundamental imbalance that allowed matter to prevail over antimatter in the early universe.
Artemis II has successfully launched, sending four astronauts on a historic journey around the Moon. This mission tests the Orion spacecraft and marks humanity's return to deep space after a half-century pause, paving the way for future lunar and interplanetary exploration.
The Artemis II mission successfully sent four astronauts on a historic journey around the Moon, testing the Orion spacecraft and paving the way for future lunar landings. Meanwhile, SpaceX continues rapid development of its Starship program, and Falcon 9 rockets achieve new milestones in launch and reusability.
For 15 years, scientists have puzzled over the origin of the Milky Way's massive gamma-ray emitting Fermi Bubbles. While a supermassive black hole eruption was the leading theory, new research has complicated this explanation, reopening the investigation into these energetic galactic structures.
Mathematician Kurt Gödel discovered a universe within Einstein's relativity where time travel is inevitable, challenging our understanding of cause and effect. This groundbreaking solution revealed potential paradoxes in the fabric of spacetime.
Scientists have long debated the origin of the giant gamma-ray-emitting Fermi bubbles above and below the Milky Way. While a supermassive black hole was the leading suspect, new simulations suggest supernovae activity alone might be responsible, reopening the mystery.
