[ad_1] The asteroid Psyche is located about 370 million kilometers from Earth and is about 35 km wide. What makes it special is that unlike most asteroids that are stony or frozen, Psyche is “made” almost entirely of metals, just like the core of the Earth, according to a new …

[ad_1] Paris, October 28 (TASR) – The European Space Agency (ESA) will provide several key modules for the planned Gateway space station orbiting the moon. In return, ESA astronauts will also be able to work at the station, the AP agency reported Tuesday. The Gateway project is part of the …

[ad_1] Titan, Saturn’s already rather weird moon, just got a little weirder. Astronomers have detected cyclopropenylidene (C3H2) in its atmosphere, an extremely rare carbon-based molecule that is so reactive that it can only exist on Earth under laboratory conditions. In fact, it is so rare that it has never been …

[ad_1] Water is more abundant on the Moon than we might have suspected, according to two papers published today in Nature Astronomy that confirm the presence of ice on and near the lunar surface. It’s a push for the prospect of extracting water from the Moon, which can help support …

[ad_1] As NASA seeks to bring humans back to the lunar surface through its Artemis program, the space agency is adding international partnerships to facilitate sustainable exploration of the moon, while demonstrating that a human mission to Mars is possible in the future.

[ad_1] He hubble space telescope recently took a clear picture of the Psyche, an asteroid composed of iron and nickel, which makes it a gold mine, economically speaking “We have seen meteorites that are mostly metallic, but Psyche could be unique in that it could be an asteroid made entirely …

[ad_1] For most of the space age, the moon was considered a world without water. In recent years, however, an ongoing teardrop discovery has shown that at least parts of the moon – such as the large permanently shaded craters at its poles – contain significant water deposits. This week, …

[ad_1] The US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has announced that it has discovered a “strange molecule” in the atmosphere of Saturn’s moon Titan. Authorities announced they were working on the molecule and found something strange. NASA continues to report on his work in the depths of space. According …

[ad_1] NASA – The US space agency has announced that it has collected the strongest set of evidence proving the existence of water on the lunar surface. The data, collected by the SOFIA telescope (acronym for Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy), installed on a modified Boeing 747, undoubtedly show the …

[ad_1] There may be far more water on the moon than previously thought, according to two studies released Monday that raise the tantalizing prospect that astronauts on future space missions may find refreshment – and perhaps even fuel – on the lunar surface. The Moon was believed to be dry …
