Jeff Seibert, our video editor, recorded the Artemis II launch. Here are his photos and video. We hope you find them as amazing as do we. Jeff had three cameras in the image below. NASA’s Space Launch System rocket carrying the Orion spacecraft with NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, commander; Victor Glover, pilot; Christina Koch, mission…
FRIDAY, JUNE 26 ■ This evening the Moon shines under the three-star head of summery Scorpius, as shown below. Orange Antares, the Scorpion’s 1st-magnitude heart, glimmers 5° or 6° to the Moon’s left. That’s about three finger-widths at arm’s length. By the time twilight ends and the night is fully dark, this scene will be…
Back to Article List Here’s what’s launching June 29–July 5: a Pegasus XL carries a servicing spacecraft to reboost NASA’s Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory and ULA’s Atlas V delivers 29 more Amazon Leo broadband satellites to orbit. Katalyst Space Technologies engineers stabilize the LINK robotic servicing spacecraft as it enters a vibration chamber at NASA’s…
Despite continual habitability headlines, the debate over whether Mars ever had or currently has life still rages. At every new planetary conference, someone presents data that often for a few weeks at least appears to change the calculus of Martian astrobiology. But for well over two decades now, one of the biggest mysteries remains —…
Space exploration has always fascinated humanity, with the idea of reaching beyond our planet and exploring the unknown. With advancements in technology, we have been able to send probes, rovers, and even humans into space. But can space missions involving human spaceflight pave the way for the colonization of other planets? Human spaceflight has been a crucial aspect of space exploration, enabling us to collect…
Space exploration has always been a fascinating endeavor for humanity, pushing the limits of scientific understanding beyond our planet’s borders. One of the most critical aspects of space exploration is understanding the composition of other celestial bodies. Sample-return missions have been crucial in expanding our understanding of celestial composition, enabling scientists to collect samples from other planets, moons, asteroids, and…
The study of exoplanets has been gaining significant attention in recent years as scientists and space agencies explore the possibility of finding habitable environments beyond our solar system. The search for exoplanets has been made possible through the use of space missions equipped with advanced instruments and technologies. Space missions play a crucial role in our understanding of exoplanets and their potential for supporting life….
Space telescopes have played a crucial role in Space-Missions since their inception. These advanced instruments are specifically designed to capture images and collect data from the vast expanse of the universe, enabling scientists to gain insights into the cosmos that were previously inaccessible. Unlike ground-based telescopes, space telescopes are situated in orbit around the Earth, above the Earth’s atmosphere,…
For years, scientists have been grappling with the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy. These enigmatic phenomena have the potential to revolutionize our understanding of the universe. While Earth-based observations have provided valuable insights, the limitations of our planet pose significant challenges in studying these phenomena. This is where space missions come in. Space missions offer unique advantages in accessing remote regions of the universe and conducting observations free from atmospheric interference. In…
The sun is the most critical star in our solar system, and studying it is essential to understanding various solar phenomena, including solar flares, coronal mass ejections, and sunspots. Over the years, several space missions have been launched to study the sun and help us learn more about its behavior, characteristics, and impact on Earth and other…
