Scientists Suggest Sending Astronauts to Mars Using Lasers

Scientists from McGill University in Canada have invented the concept of the laser catapult, which will help astronauts get to Mars in just 45 days. However, scientists do not yet know how to slow the spacecraft down once it arrives at its destination.

Scientists Tracked Down a Fallen Meteorite Using Drones and Machine Learning

The resulting images were analyzed by a machine-learning algorithm that can detect unusual objects lying on the ground. It identified the supposed location where the fragments of the meteorite fell. At that spot, scientists found a 70-gram meteorite.

Astronomers Discover a Mysterious Spinning Object in the Milky Way

The scientists established that the object is about four thousand light years from Earth. So far, astronomers can only say that it is incredibly bright and has an extremely strong magnetic field.

The Universe Could Contain 40 Billion Billions of Black Holes

Scientists at the International School for Advanced Studies in Trieste (SISSA) have found that there are 40 billion billions (i.e., 4 followed by 19 zeros) stellar-mass black holes in the universe.

Scientists Detect Up to 170 New Rogue Planets Wandering our Galaxy

If a planet is young and hot, its own residual heat helps find it. That's how scientists found the new rogue planets this time after analyzing 80,000 images taken over the past 20 years of astronomical observations.

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.

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.

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.

BepiColombo Mission Captures First Images of Mercury

On the night of October 2, BepiColombo approached the planet at a distance of 199 km and collected data using its sensors. Ten minutes after the fly-by, the spacecraft took a series of images.
