A plane-sized asteroid will safely pass by Earth today, offering scientists a chance to gather valuable data about near-Earth objects. While this particular asteroid poses no threat, it highlights the importance of ongoing asteroid research and monit

"From getting my PhD at MIT to knocking 100s of doors to get hired full-time at NASA, nothing came easy," Dr Akshata Krishnamurthy said.

US counterintelligence agencies on Friday warned the American space industry to guard against efforts by foreign intelligence entities to steal research and trade secrets as they try to boost their own countries' space programs. US authorities have for years said Chinese hackers are targeting US space know-how, including having accessed computers ...

NASA has formally retired its Mars InSight lander, the first robotic probe specially designed to study the deep interior of a distant world, four years after it arrived on the surface of the red planet, the US space agency announced on Wednesday. Mission controllers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) near Los Angeles determined the mission ...

Two NASA spacecraft at Mars — one on the surface and the other in orbit — have recorded the biggest meteor strikes and impact craters yet. The larger of the two strikes churned out boulder-size slabs of ice, which may help researchers look for ways future astronauts can tap into Mars’ natural resources.

India's largest telecom operator Reliance Jio on Friday posted a 28 percent year-on-year rise in its net profit for the September quarter at Rs. 4,518 crore, as subscriber additions and ARPU boosted realisations. Its net profit stood at Rs. 3,528 crore in the same period previous fiscal, the telco said in a regulatory filing.

NASA’s recent study led by researchers from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) has revealed that Antarctica's coastal glaciers are shedding icebergs more rapidly than nature can replenish the crumbling ice. This raises new concern about how fast climate change is weakening Antarctica's floating ice shelves and accelerating the rise of global sea...

An asteroid the size of a small bus will whizz past the Earth at 90,000 kilometres away today. Estimated to measure between 5.5 and 12.5 meters, the asteroid 2022 NF was discovered only on July 4. NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory says the asteroid will safely pass the planet, and astronomers will be able to watch Asteroid 2022 NF, when it flies b...

NASA has announced that it has equipped upcoming Astrophysics Stratospheric Telescope for High Spectral Resolution Observations at Submillimeter-wavelengths (ASTHROS) mission with a giant mirror.The agency's ASTHROS mission is being managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Southern California and will be launched no earlier than Decemb...

In a bid to bolster its exploration of distant worlds and dig deeper for signs of life, NASA has been working to develop a swarm of cell-phone-sized swimming robots. These would be able to swim in oceans underneath the thick icy shell and possibly bring evidence of the habitability of celestial bodies. The concept named Sensing With Independent Mic...

NASA has put an asteroid mission on hold blaming the late delivery of its own navigation software. The Psyche mission was supposed to launch this September or October. But the agency’s Jet Propulsion Lab was several months late delivering its software for navigation, guidance and control.

NASA has finished making the body of Europa Clipper spacecraft and delivered to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Southern California. It is at this centre where a team of engineers and technicians will finish the assembling of the rest of the mission over the next two years. The assembling will be done by hand and then tested to see whether o...

An asteroid is approaching the planet Earth on Wednesday, June 8. The upcoming asteroid is raising eyebrows. An asteroid this large may have some palpable effect on our planet when it approaches on Wednesday.

NASA's Ingenuity helicopter has completed record-breaking 25 flights in the tenuous atmosphere. When the tiny helicopter was sent to the one-way trip, engineers had only planned for five flights. However, Ingenuity has surpassed expectations and has taken over 25 flights.

In the midst of extremely hot weather conditions in India, NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory recently shared an image showing "heat islands" in and around Delhi.
