In 1998, NASA sent a small rose plant called 'Overnight Scentsation' on Space Shuttle Discovery for a nine-day mission. The experiment, a collaboration with fragrance company IFF, aimed to see if microgravity…
The total solar eclipse began over northern Russia at 17:00 UTC on August 12, 2026, crossing Greenland, Iceland, and Spain. Totality will last up to 2 minutes and 18 seconds. Millions of…
Exactly 66 years ago on August 12, 1960, NASA launched Echo 1A, a 100-foot-diameter balloon that became the agency's first successful communications satellite. It did not actively transmit signals but reflected telephone,…
NASA has confirmed that its DART mission successfully shortened the orbit of asteroid Dimorphos by 32 minutes, far exceeding the 73-second minimum success threshold. The spacecraft struck the small moonlet at 14,000…
In 1991, NASA flew Aurelia jellyfish polyps aboard the space shuttle Columbia on the SLS-1 mission to study how microgravity affects balance. The polyps were induced to develop into juvenile ephyrae while…
Mercury is still contracting, and new images from NASA's MESSENGER mission show that its cooling metallic core, which makes up nearly 85% of the planet's radius, continues to crack its thin crust.…
In July 1967, US Vela 3 and Vela 4 satellites, designed to detect secret nuclear tests under the Test Ban Treaty, accidentally detected brief flashes of gamma rays from space. The discovery,…
NASA astronaut Anil Menon has shared footage of an aurora filmed through the window of a SpaceX Dragon capsule, calling the view “a room with a view”. The video, shot at 1/4-second…
A re-analysis of 1978 Pioneer Venus data shows that cloud aerosols on Venus contain about 60% water by weight, far above earlier estimates of 25% or less. Researchers led by R. Mogul…
