NASA's LATEST DISCOVERY

Astronomers have discovered an exoplanet located 90 light-years away from Earth with a potentially rich atmosphere that may contain water clouds. Nasa said that the newly discovered exoplanet is more than three-and-a half times as big as Earth, calling it “oddly reminiscent” of Neptune .

Gas station in space’: new plan to make rocket fuel from junk in Earth’s orbit

Image
  Australian company joins global effort to recycle dangerous space debris An Australian company is part of an international effort to recycle dangerous space junk into rocket fuel – in space. The orbit our planet depends on is getting clogged with debris from old spacecraft. Dead satellites and spent rocket parts are whizzing around at speeds of up to 28,000 kilometres an hour, posing a threat to communications satellites and the International  Space  Station. At those speeds, even a small screw or a  fleck of paint  poses a risk to facilities such as the ISS, as well as the humans in them. ‘A wild west out there’: Russian satellite debris worsens space junk problem Read more Last weekend, Russia fired a missile and  destroyed one of its own satellites , sending debris flying. The United States said that debris now “threatens the interests of all nations”. The worst-case scenario is cascading collisions between smaller and smaller bits of space junk until ...

ELON MUSK SAYS SPACEX COULD LAUNCH STARSHIP ORBITAL FLIGHT TEXT NEXT MONTH

Image
SpaceX's Starship SN20 prototype could make its first orbital test flight as soon as next month. This visualization depicts SpaceX's Starship could launch on its first uncrewed flight to Mars in 2024.   (Image credit: SpaceX) SpaceX's latest Starship prototype could blast off into orbit earlier than   SpaceX completed a successful static fire test  with its SN20 Starship prototype. This was a major hurdle for the spacecraft ahead of its first orbital flight test, which SpaceX had previously stated would likely happen within a couple of months. But now,  SpaceX  founder Elon Musk has said that the launch could happen as soon as next month.  "If all goes well,  Starship  will be ready for its first orbital launch attempt next month, pending regulatory approval," Musk  tweeted  today .

Is there life at Alpha Centauri? New space telescope to seek out habitable planets around sun's neighboring star

Image
  The new TOLIMAN space telescope could launch in the mid-2020s. A new space telescope mission unveiled today (Nov. 16) will look for habitable planets in the Alpha Centauri system, our sun's closest stellar neighbors.  The new mission, called TOLIMAN after an ancient Arabic-derived name for  Alpha Centauri , will carry a novel telescope fitted with a so-called diffractive pupil lens that spreads starlight into a flowerlike pattern. This unique lens will make it easier for astronomers using the scope to detect tiny irregularities in a stars' movements that are usually caused by the gravitational influence of orbiting planets, according to  a statement  by Breakthrough Initiatives, which is backing the mission. "Even for the very nearest bright stars in the night sky, finding planets is a huge technological challenge," Eduardo Bendek, an optical engineer at NASA's  Jet Propulsion Laboratory , a collaborator on the mission, said in the statement.  "Our T...
