While the notion that we might be approaching Earth’s maximum, or its breaking point, has previously been associated with environmentalism, there is now a growing amount of scientific research to support this notion. With our population exceeding eight billion, we are finding it increasingly difficult to deny the pressure we are placing on our environment….
From Chandrayaan 1 (image credit: Isro) to Artemis 2 (Image credit: Nasa) For much of the late 20th century, the Moon was treated as a closed chapter. After Apollo, samples brought back to Earth seemed to settle the argument. The Moon was dry, ancient and geologically inactive. There was no water to sustain life, no…
The ‘Pink Moon’ will occur in the night sky on April 1, 2026 – the culmination of a combination of lunar orbital mechanics and historical cultural significance. While the name indicates a radical colour change, it really reflects the rules of physics between our planet, the moon and the sun, along with plant cycles in…
NASA’s upcoming Artemis II mission is the next crewed mission in the agency’s plan to explore the deep reaches of space. The mission is the next step following the uncrewed Artemis I mission. The mission will be crewed and will be sent using the Space Launch System rocket and the Orion spacecraft, launching from the…
On March 30, SpaceX conducted a successful launch of its Transporter 16 mission from Vandenberg Space Force Base, marking the 21st launch from Vandenberg SFB in 2026, demonstrating again how dominant they are in the commercial space industry. According to Vandenberg Space Force Base, Falcon 9 launched from Space Launch Complex 4 East (SLC-4E), and…
NASA is set to first crewed mission to the lunar vicinity in more than 50 years with the Artemis II mission, which is scheduled for launch tomorrow, April 1, 2026. Four astronauts are on the Crew of the Orion spacecraft, including three from NASA – Reid Wiseman (Commander), Victor Glover (Pilot), and Christina Koch (Mission…
The Mediterranean Sea has been viewed over the years as a body of water that is not prone to major natural calamities such as tsunamis. However, scientific evaluations have shown that this assumption does not necessarily hold. The coastal regions of Southern Europe, such as the Côte d’Azur, which is very densely populated, and other…
A mother’s bond is often described as a connection of souls, a relationship that transcends physical borders, time, and the definitions of love. While poets have spent centuries weaving paragraphs about this invisible string, science has discovered a tangible one.Recent research into microchimerism reveals that the connection between a mother and child isn’t just emotional;…
A powerful burst of solar activity briefly caught attention this week, arriving just days before one of the most closely watched space missions in recent years. The Sun released an X1.4-class solar flare, strong enough to disrupt radio signals across parts of Asia and Australia and trigger concern about possible risks to astronauts. For a…
Margaret Hamilton, standing tall with her back to the camera and proudly facing the mountain of Apollo code she had developed, is not only a historic picture, but it is also a representation of the human spirit, precision, and ingenuity. Indeed, the code developed by Margaret Hamilton played a very important role in 1969 in…
