[ad_1] Drip Drip SpaceX’s prototype SN8 spacecraft had a small hiccup during its third static fire test late Thursday evening at the company’s testing facilities in Boca Chica, Texas. Eagle-eyed viewers who followed the event via live video streams noticed material dripping from the spaceship prototype, while Space.com reports – …

[ad_1] At the edge of space, the water falls apart. High above the surface of Mars, at an altitude of nearly 150 kilometers, they discovered water. It shouldn’t be in this place. Two years ago, a young planetary scientist, Shane Stone, noticed an unusual phenomenon of water. At the same …

[ad_1] After checking with the museum staff, the team went down to the basement, found the platypus cabinet, and turned on the special lights. “And sure enough,” said Dr. Olson. Eventually they were able to examine three platypuses: a male and a female at the Field Museum and another male …

[ad_1] Vibrations travel across our planet in waves, like chords resonating from a strummed guitar. Earthquakes, volcanoes and the hustle and bustle of human activity excite some of these seismic waves. Many others reverberate from wind-driven ocean storms. As storms shake the world’s seas, wind-whipped waves at the surface interact …

[ad_1] More than half a century after being launched from our planet, the missile may have returned to Earth’s sphere of influence. NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory announced Thursday that Earth has been hosting a temporary satellite in recent months. Its characteristics suggest that it is a rocket propeller, possibly a …

Scientists have now examined the role of anions in the electrolyte. The results, which were published in the journal Applied chemistry, reveal the importance …

[ad_1] Image: European Space Agency Space mining may soon become a reality as scientists have unveiled a device, which uses bacteria to extract metals and minerals from rocks on Mars and the Moon. Developed during a decade-long study by scientists from the Center for Astrobiology at the University of Edinburgh, …

They have since been proposed as the top candidates for dark matter. Credit: RAMON ANDRADE 3DCIENCIA / SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY A hypothetical particle that could …

[ad_1] A relic from the early days of spaceflight has likely returned for a brief visit to its home planet, according to months of observations of a near-Earth object dubbed 2020 SO. 2020 SO entered what scientists call Earth’s Hill sphere, where Earth’s gravity governs the behavior of objects, on …
