As space agencies prepare for human missions to the Moon and Mars, scientists need to understand how the absence of gravity affects living cells.
A cluster of recent theoretical papers has laid out mathematical frameworks for propelling spacecraft at speeds ranging from ...
An interstellar comet racing through our solar system released methanol, methane and cyanide, NASA says. Could these life linked molecules hint at how worlds across the cosmos are seeded?
Sure, it sounds lovely at first, but would you actually enjoy sleeping in zero gravity (my wife, who has promised to divorce me if I ever jag a junket that takes me into space, is a “NO” for a start)?
The Sun would be a far more powerful telescope than any humanity could create in the near future. But to use it, we need to get to 650 AU.
With more than $20 million in contracted mission funding to date, the Quantum Gravity Gradiometer Pathfinder Mission, Led by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California, Advances U.S.
This immersive skydive strips away the illusion of control. The blue sky looks endless, and the 360 perspective makes the distance below feel very real. Once gravity takes over, everything accelerates ...
Compared with Earth, Mars is tiny, yet it seems to have an outsized effect on our planet’s climate cycles. Similar small planets could affect the climates of worlds beyond our solar system, which we ...
An artist rendering of the future Columbia-class ballistic missile submarines. (U.S. Navy illustration) Leonardo DRS announced the opening of a new naval power and propulsion facility in Charleston, ...
It was quite a leap. Conspiracy theorists are being brought back down to Earth after NASA scientists debunked a wild claim that the space agency was hiding knowledge about an event that could result ...
There is a rumor going around online—on Reddit, Facebook, TikTok, and (I assume) Friendster—that gravity will stop working for seven seconds on August 12. Here is part of the warning posted online: In ...
