New Moon

Titan, the moon of the second-largest planet in our solar system is believed to be one of the most hospitable worlds

Recent analysis of images captured by NASA's Voyager 2 has suggested that Miranda, a moon orbiting Uranus, may have once contained a significant ocean beneath its icy exterior. Research led by Tom Nordheim at Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory reveals that this ocean could have existed hundreds of millions of years ago, driven by tidal forces...

NASA’s upcoming Lunar Trailblazer mission aims to explore and map water on the Moon. Set for launch next year, this satellite will utilise advanced instruments to identify and measure water in various forms. It will investigate permanently shadowed craters and surface features to gather insights about lunar water's origins and its potential for f...

China’s fourth generation of astronauts, including two from Hong Kong and Macao, are undergoing a comprehensive training programme in Beijing to prepare for upcoming lunar missions. This rigorous process includes specialised physical training, lectures, and over 200 detailed programmes covering critical lunar surface operations. The cohort's dive...

If you’ve played and enjoyed Until Dawn before, you’re unlikely to find something here that will unlock a radically new experience, even if it does enhance your memory of the original. But if you’ve never played the definitive interactive horror title that kicked off a slew of games of the same genre, then perhaps the Until Dawn remake presen...

Astronauts walking on the moon as part of NASA's first human mission to the lunar South Pole will be wearing Prada, as part of a new venture unveiled.

The Europa Clipper mission will allow the US space agency to uncover new details about the moon, which scientists believe could hold an ocean of liquid water beneath its icy surface.

China has unveiled a new spacesuit designed for its 2030 lunar mission, marking another step in its growing space program. The suit is equipped with features to protect astronauts from the moon's extreme environment, including temperature fluctuations, radiation, and dust. With bold red-and-white aesthetics, the suit highlights China's ambitions to...

On Sunday, 29th September, Earth captured a new "minimoon" known as 2024 PT5. The bus-sized asteroid, measuring 33 feet wide, is temporarily orbiting Earth for 57 days. Although it's a fascinating addition, the minimoon is too small to be seen with the naked eye or typical amateur telescopes. Researchers believe the asteroid originated from the Arj...

The Earth will embrace a new and temporary 'mini moon' tonight, with a connection to India's epic Mahabharat. Called "2024 PT5" it is just about ten meters in diameter and it will remain in the Earth's orbit for about 53 days.

Chinese scientists have made a major breakthrough in lunar exploration by analysing samples from the far side of the Moon, collected during the Chang'e-6 mission. The study, conducted by the National Astronomical Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and other leading institutions, has revealed significant differences in the composition ...

The Union Cabinet on Wednesday approved a new moon mission "Chandrayaan-4" to develop and demonstrate technologies needed for landing of Indian astronauts on the moon and safely bring them back to Earth.

China's Chang'e 5 mission has brought new insight into the Moon's volcanic history, suggesting that the volcanic activity might have taken place much sooner than previously believed. Samples of lunar soil, returned to Earth in 2020, contain glass beads formed by volcanic eruptions just 120 million years ago. This is a significant discovery, as it c...

In a historic first, a NASA-funded researcher will fly aboard Blue Origin’s New Shepard suborbital rocket to study how gravitational changes impact plant biology. Rob Ferl from the University of Florida will lead the experiment, activating tubes pre-loaded with plants and preservatives during the flight to capture how plants respond to different ...

SpaceX on Monday pushed back the historic launch of an all-civilian crew on an orbital expedition set to mark a new chapter in space exploration with the first spacewalk by private citizens.
