SpaceX Successfully Delivers 'Mighty Mice' To International Space Station
- December 11, 2019
The mice will help scientists on earth understand how to limit bone and muscle loss in space, a problem that's faced by anyone who stays in space for a prolonged period of time. Kelly, U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords' (D-AZ) husband, has lead mission STS-134 as it delivered the Express Logistics Carrier-3 (ELC-3) and the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-2) to the International Space Station .

NASA pulls all-female spacewalk due to suit fitting issues
- December 10, 2019
McClain is now expected to perform her next spacewalk on April 8 with another male, Canadian Space Agency astronaut David Saint-Jacques, according to NASA . The spacesuit is unisex and comes in sizes medium, large and extra large on the ISS. "In this case, it's easier (and faster!) to change space-walkers than reconfigure the spacesuit". (more...)

China's Lunar Probe Lands Safely on Far Side of Moon
- December 09, 2019
That's inaccurate. The moon is tidally locked with the Earth, meaning one side is always facing us, but the side facing away from us still gets sunshine. Beijing is planning to send another lunar lander, Chang'e-5, later this year to collect samples and bring them back to Earth. If the moon was formed from the same material as the Earth as many lunar scientists believe, studying the South Pole-Aitken basin could provide insights into the early Earth, de Grijs said. (more...)

SpaceX Successfully Launches Falcon Heavy, Lands All Three Boosters
- December 07, 2019
The Falcon Heavy is created to loft into low-Earth orbit up to 140,000 pounds - more than any American rocket has been able to carry since NASA's Saturn V, which took Apollo astronauts to the moon in the 1960s and '70s. If successful, Arabsat will reportedly become the first operator in the region for satellite capacities and services. It will be just the second time a Falcon Heavy soars. (more...)

Giant planet around white dwarf gives glimpse into solar system's future
- December 05, 2019
An worldwide team used observational data from multiple telescopes and theoretical models to conclude that while the white dwarf star is ancient, it's five times hotter than our sun. The high-energy photons crammed inside the dead star are gradually blowing away the planet's atmosphere and while most of the gas escapes, some of it is pulled into a disc swirling into the star at a rate of 3000 tonnes per second .

NASA to launch "robot hotel" to Int'l Space Station
- December 04, 2019
The first RELL unit was launched in 2015 while the second was launched in 2019 as a back-up. "Its thermal system maintains ideal temperatures for the instruments, helping them stay functional". You can think of this "hotel" more appropriately as a " garage ", as the space will, in fact, be more similar to a parking spot for robots. NASA astronauts have been riding Russian rockets to the space station, for tens of millions of dollars per seat, while awaiting the repeatedly delayed ... (more...)

A newly discovered Monster Black Hole makes scientists scratch their head
- December 04, 2019
Most black holes are discovered through their dramatic exercise in X-rays or gamma rays that are emitted because the behemoths gobble up close by fuel and mud. "That means that this is a new kind a black hole, formed by another physical mechanism!" He added, "LB-1 is twice as massive as what we thought possible". (more...)
