He promised that scientists would soon publish a full research paper explaining this phenomenon.
space NASA's DART Spacecraft Successfully Crashed Into an Asteroid in a Planetary Defense Test As part of the mission, NASA was investigating whether it was possible to alter the trajectory of a celestial body by hitting it with a space probe. This was humanity's first attempt to change the celestial body's trajectory.
space The Inouye Telescope Reveals New Images of the Sun's Chromosphere The Daniel Inouye Solar Telescope in Hawaii has taken new images of the Sun in great detail. The new images cover a chromospheric region 82,500 km wide and are just a small fraction of the Sun's total size.
space NASA Reveals New Stunning Images of Jupiter Taken by the Webb Telescope The images that show the planet's features in detail were taken by the Webb telescope's near-infrared camera (NIRCam). It can observe celestial bodies such as stars, nebulae, and planets that are too cold or too faint to be seen in visible light.
space You Can Now Explore Mars Using an Interactive Map The map was unveiled at the Europlanet Science Congress (EPSC) 2022 in Granada, Spain. It was created using orbital images as well as three-dimensional panoramic views of the Jezero crater.
space NASA Shared the First Detailed Image of a Planet Outside Our Solar System The exoplanet is located about 385 light years from Earth, and, according to various estimates, it is 6-12 times larger than Jupiter and is between 15 million and 20 million years old.
space China Plans More Lunar Missions after Discovering a New Mineral There The decision was made after China discovered a new mineral found in lunar deposits that could become a new source of energy for humanity. China eventually plans to build an international research station on the Moon.
space Scientists Discover a Super-Earth Located Near Its Star's Habitable Zone A super-Earth class exoplanet 4 times the mass of Earth was detected orbiting within the habitable zone of a red dwarf dubbed Ross 508. The star is located in the constellation Serpens and is five times smaller than our Sun.
space NASA Released the Eerie Sound of a Black Hole NASA has recorded the sounds of a massive black hole 250 million light-years away from Earth in the Perseus Cluster. The object is located so close to the gas clouds that it creates ripple-like sound waves.
space T-Mobile and SpaceX Team Up to Use Starlink Satellites The mobile operator's subscribers will be able to use Starlink satellite Internet at speeds ranging from 2 to 4 Mbps. The Starlink signal will be available everywhere in the US, even in places where there is no cellular coverage.
space Scientists Reveal How Our Sun Is Going to Evolve in the Future The Sun has been around for 4.57 billion years and has been getting hotter all along. Scientists have determined that the star will be the hottest in its lifetime at the age of 8 billion years.
space ESA in Talks to Replace Russian Soyuz Rockets with Elon Musk's SpaceX By now, all talks remain at the stage of exploring the best option. The agency also needs to make sure the interface between the launcher and satellite is suitable.
space Astronomers Discover Alcohol Molecules in the Centre of the Milky Way A group of scientists has discovered the largest alcohol molecule in space – isopropanol was found in the Sagittarius B2 gas-dust cloud near the center of the Milky Way. Sagittarius B2 is a massive star-forming region where new stars are born.
space Astronomers Find Elusive Atoms in the Cosmic Web The atoms are hard to spot because most of them are in the cosmic web in the form of gas so diffuse that there is no more than about one atom per cubic foot of space, which is much less than in any vacuum on Earth.
space SpaceX Launches South Korea's First Lunar Mission The probe will enter lunar orbit in December and begin its near-lunar year-long observation mission. According to the mission plan, the vehicle will search for possible landing sites on the Moon as well as test space Internet technology.
space James Webb Telescope Captures a Stunning View of Cartwheel Galaxy Cartwheel is located at a distance of about 500 million light-years from Earth in the Sculptor constellation, and its estimated diameter is 150 thousand light-years.
space Russia to Leave the International Space Station After 2024 By that time, Russia plans to start creating the Russian Orbital Service Station (ROSS), a new space station. The implementation of this project will be the main priority of the domestic space industry.
