- Distant Galaxies Crash to Produce Massive Sonic Boom, Could Reveal Secrets About the Universe: Report November 25, 2024The galaxy NGC 7318b has collided with its neighbours in Stephan’s Quintet, creating one of the most powerful shockwaves observed in space. The resulting debris, glowing plasma, and star formation are being studied using advanced spectrographic tools, offering rare insights into galaxy formation and evolution.
- ISRO And Australian Space Agency Sign Implementation Agreement for Gaganyaan Crew Recovery November 25, 2024ISRO has formalised an Implementation Agreement (IA) with the Australian Space Agency (ASA) to enhance cooperation on crew and crew module recovery for India's Gaganyaan mission. Signed on November 20, 2024, the agreement enables both space agencies to collaborate on ensuring support during the contingency phase of the mission, specifically focusing on recovery operat...
- Hubble Space Telescope Captures Rare Edge-On View of a Spiral Galaxy Located Millions of Light-Years Away November 25, 2024NASA and ESA’s Hubble Space Telescope captured an edge-on view of spiral galaxy UGC 10043, located around 150 million light-years away. Displaying its prominent dust lanes and unique bulge, this galaxy image highlights regions of active star formation. Captured in 2000 and 2023, the composite image uses various light wavelengths to detail the structure of […]
- China to Reportedly Activate Powerful X-Ray Light Source to Reveal Atomic Structure of Proteins November 25, 2024China is about to launch the High Energy Photon Source (HEPS), a state-of-the-art synchrotron capable of providing high-resolution x-ray imaging. Expected to begin operations in late December, HEPS will enable scientists to explore atomic-level structures in materials and proteins. This new facility, costing $657 million, will offer advanced capabilities to researcher...
- Space Debris Accumulation in the Stratosphere Threatens Major Environmental Risks November 25, 2024The growing presence of satellite space junk, as more satellites enter Earth's orbit, has raised concerns about environmental impacts. Pollution from burnt-up satellites contributes to changes in atmospheric chemistry, with metals like aluminium potentially harming the ozone layer. Scientists warn that satellite re-entries are contributing to a rise in pollutants, whi...
- Evidence of Hot Water on Mars Found in Ancient Meteorite From Early Days of Solar System November 25, 2024Evidence of ancient hot water activity on Mars has been found in a 4.45-billion-year-old zircon grain from the NWA7034 meteorite. The findings, detailed in Science Advances, reveal that hydrothermal systems were active on Mars during the Pre-Noachian period. Researchers suggest these systems, essential for life on Earth, could have made Mars habitable in its early […]
- NASA SWIM Robots Tested for Future Missions to Explore Oceans on Europa November 25, 2024NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) is testing SWIM robots to potentially explore the subsurface oceans of Europa, one of Jupiter’s moons, believed to contain conditions suitable for life. The robots are designed to navigate autonomously and gather data through temperature, pH, and chemical sensors, helping scientists identify potential life indicators on icy m...
- Chinese Scientists Claim to Have Built Microwave Weapon That Converges Energy Beams on a Single Target November 25, 2024Chinese scientists have developed an advanced microwave weapon capable of merging multiple high-frequency beams into one, targeting a single location. This new technology, claimed to have an effect greater than the sum of its parts, has been compared to the Death Star’s beam convergence. However, experts highlight challenges with precision, alignment, and energy cap...
- SpaceX Launching 23 More Starlink Satellites Aboard Falcon 9 Rocket from Florida November 25, 2024SpaceX is preparing to launch 23 Starlink satellites, including 12 with direct-to-smartphone technology, from Florida's Space Coast on November 25. A Falcon 9 rocket will carry the payload, and its booster will attempt its 13th landing post-liftoff on a droneship. Deployment into low Earth orbit is scheduled about 65 minutes after liftoff. The Starlink constellation, […]
- Blue Origin’s NS-28 Carries the 100th Woman in Space, Makes Safe Landing November 25, 2024Blue Origin’s NS-28 mission, which launched on 22 November 2024, included six passengers, including Emily Calandrelli, who became the 100th woman to reach space. The ten-minute suborbital journey, reaching an altitude of 106 kilometres, also carried Marc and Sharon Hagle, Austin Litteral, J.D. Russell, and Hank Wolfond.
