space Scientists Propose to Make Pluto a Planet Again If the approach to defining planets is reconsidered, the status of a planet would be given not only to Pluto, but also to the Moon, dwarf planets, asteroids, as well as geologically active satellites of giant planets, such as Titan.
space Astronomers Discover the Farthest Star From Earth The star is so far away that its light took 12.9 billion years to reach Earth, and it is now seen as it was when the universe was about 900 million years old, a mere 7% of its current age.
space SpaceX Raises Prices Amid Rising Commodity Markets For example, the base monthly cost of Starlink services will increase by 11 percent to $110 from $99 a month as of May 21. The cost of Starlink equipment will increase 10 percent to $549.
space Virgin Galactic Is Selling Tickets to Space for $450,000 During the 90-minute journey, space tourists will enjoy several minutes of out-of-seat weightlessness and breath-taking views of Earth from the 17 windows of the spaceship.
space NASA to Retire the ISS by Crashing It Into the Ocean by Late 2030 According to NASA's plan, in January 2031, the ISS will perform a series of maneuvers to descend slowly. The station will then enter the Earth's atmosphere, and its fragments should be crashed into the Pacific Ocean.
space Scientists Created the Biggest Map of the Universe The map was created using DESI (Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument), which helped astrophysicists collect images of the universe over the course of seven months and combine them with each other.
space Elon Musk Tweeted a Video of the Mechazilla Launch Tower Until recently, the company only shared renderings of the Mechazilla, but now we can see the actual design of the 140-meter structure. The published video confirms that the construction of this impressive tower is nearing completion.
space CNSA Publishes New Photos Taken by the Tianwen-1 Probe The photos show the Tianwen-1 orbiter itself above Mars, a close-up of the orbiter, as well as the planet's northern ice caps. These images confirm that the orbiter and the Zhurong rover are operating normally and are in good condition.
space NASA's Juno Probe Recorded the Sound of Jupiter's Moon NASA launched the Juno probe into space in 2011. In almost five years, Juno reached Jupiter. In 2016, it began to study its surface and subsequently transmitted unique photos of the giant planet to Earth.
space Blue Origin Completed Its Third Human Space Flight The New Shepard rocket with six passengers onboard launched from the launch site in Van Horn, Texas. The entire flight from takeoff to landing lasted slightly more than 10 minutes. This was Blue Origin's sixth flight in 2021 and the third crewed flight of the year.
space Elon Musk Warned SpaceX Employees of Potential Bankruptcy Raptor engines power the Starship rocket designed to be launched to the Moon and Mars. It has already been tested in short flights, but the orbital launch requires up to 39 Raptor engines, requiring a dramatic increase in production.
