Interim NASA chief Sean Duffy will announce the ambitious goal this week, according to Politico. NASA is accelerating its plans for a nuclear reactor on the moon. For several years now, the agency has been working to get a 40-kilowatt fission system ready for launch to the moon by the early 2030s. But interim NASA chief Sean Duffy is about […]

From one perspective, the Sun is a benevolent orb of plasma and its warmth makes Earth habitable and has kept if habitable for billions of years, allowing complex things like human beings to evolve. From another perspective, it’s a malevolent orb that sends deadly UV radiation our way, and sometimes erupts and hurls massive blobs

As global warming continues to melt Earth’s glaciers, sea level rise hits all new heights. However, in 2024 a different mechanism caused most of this water volume increase. “The rise we saw in 2024 was higher than we expected,” says NASA oceanographer Josh Willis. “Every year is a little bit different, but what’s clear is that the ocean

If it’s quiet solitude and beauty you seek, there is no better place than the surface of Mars. Mars has earned its moniker as the red planet, but the HiRISE camera aboard NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) can transform the subtle differences of soils into a rainbow of colours.For 10 years, HiRISE has recorded gorgeous – and scientifically valuable –

You don’t have to know a whole lot about science to know that black holes normally suck things in, not spew things out. But NASA detected something mighty bizarre at the supermassive black hole Markarian 335. Two of NASA’s space telescopes, including the Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR), amazingly observed a black hole’s corona “launched”

An asteroid that could level a city now has a 3.1-percent chance of striking Earth in 2032, according to NASA data released Tuesday – making it the most threatening space rock ever recorded by modern forecasting.Despite the rising odds, experts say there is no need for alarm. The global astronomical community is closely monitoring the situation and the James

In the Milky Way’s central bulge, about 24,000 light-years from Earth, a peculiar pair of objects appears to be hurtling through space at breakneck speed. Evidence suggests these objects are a high-velocity star and its accompanying exoplanet, a new study reports. If that’s confirmed, it would set a new record as the fastest-moving exoplanet system

Traveling faster than light has always been attributed to science fiction, but that all changed when Harold White and his team at NASA started to work on and tweak the Alcubierre Drive. Special relativity may hold true, but to travel faster or at the speed of light we might not need a craft that can
