After Earth

Dubbed FRB 20220610A, this signal is one of the most distant and energetic ever observed.

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is monitoring a large asteroid called Apophis that is expected to come very close to Earth. The asteroid, which is named after the Egyptian God of Chaos, is hurtling towards the earth.

The European Space Agency (ESA) is concluding the Cluster mission, with the first of four satellites safely reentering Earth's atmosphere. This marks the end of a mission that has provided 24 years of valuable space data. In January, the satellite's orbit was adjusted to ensure its reentry would target an uninhabited area, reducing risks for humans...

After 24 years diligently studying Earth's magnetic field, a satellite will mostly burn up over the Pacific Ocean on Sunday during a "targeted" re-entry into the atmosphere, in a first for the European Space Agency as it seeks to reduce space debris.

Boeing's beleaguered Starliner left the International Space Station (ISS) on Friday, bound for Earth without the astronauts who rode up on the spaceship after NASA deemed the risk too great.

A small asteroid, 2024 RW1, burned up in Earth's atmosphere over Luzon Island, Philippines, after being discovered just hours earlier by astronomers in Arizona.

The FAA grounded the Falcon 9 after failing an attempt to land back on Earth during a routine Starlink mission, forcing the company's second grounding this year. SpaceX made the return to flight request for the workhorse vehicle on Thursday and the FAA gave approval on Friday. The agency said flights may resume "provided all other license requirem...

Extreme heat waves are not only a growing threat to humans but also to vital pollinators like bumble bees. A recent study published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B reveals that heat waves can significantly impair bumble bees' ability to detect the scents of flowers they depend on for food. This discovery raises concerns about the potentia...

Boeing’s Starliner capsule is scheduled to return to Earth on September 6th without astronauts on board, following its mission to the International Space Station (ISS). Initially, NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore were set to return aboard Starliner, but safety concerns related to a thruster issue led NASA to decide on an uncrewed r...

NASA will proceed with the undocking of the uncrewed Boeing Starliner capsule not before Sept. 6, the space agency said on Thursday after concluding a review.

After 24 years of providing valuable data on Earth's magnetic shield, the European Space Agency's (ESA) satellite named Salsa is set to re-enter the atmosphere on September 8.

A significant portion of the Atlantic Ocean near the equator experienced a rapid and unprecedented cooling over the summer months, leaving scientists puzzled about the cause. While the temperatures in the area have started to climb back to normal levels, the reasons behind this sudden drop remain unclear. The cold patch, which appeared in early Jun...

SpaceX's Falcon 9 successfully launched a batch of Starlink internet satellites into orbit early on Wednesday morning from Florida. The rocket's reusable first stage booster returned to Earth and attempted to land on a sea-faring barge as usual, but toppled into the ocean after a fiery touchdown, a SpaceX live stream showed.

A California-based start-up, Reflect Orbital, has announced an innovative plan that could significantly enhance global energy consumption by providing sunlight after sunset. The company, led by company's CEO Ben Nowack, plans to redirect sunlight onto Earth's solar panels during the night, effectively "selling sunlight" on demand. This innovative i...

SpaceX's Polaris Dawn mission will be delayed by at least a day because of a helium leak in ground equipment at Kennedy Space Center, SpaceX has said. The highlight of the five-day mission is expected to come two days after launch, when the crew embarks on a 20-minute spacewalk 434 miles (700 km) from earth, in history's first such private spacewal...
