The Hubble Space Telescope has captured a remarkable image of the spiral galaxy IC 3225, which resembles a cannonball moving through space. Located approximately 100 million light-years away in the Virgo galaxy cluster, IC 3225 exhibits distinct features, including a bright, star-forming arm and a tail of gas. The galaxy's unusual shape results fro...

Black hole mergers are among the most energetic events in space. Two black holes gradually lose energy through gravitational interactions, drawing them closer until their event horizons stretch and merge. Gravitational waves released during the process are some of the most powerful forces in the universe, with part of the black holes' mass converti...

The spacecraft, X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle, is an experimental space plane operated by the United States Space Force

United Launch Alliance’s (ULA) Vulcan Centaur rocket is scheduled for its second launch on 4th October 2024, at 6 a.m. EDT from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. This test flight, dubbed Cert-2, is designed to help certify the rocket for U.S. Space Force missions. Following a successful launch readiness review, ULA is optimistic about the missi...

SpaceX’s Crew-9 mission successfully arrived at the International Space Station on September 29, 2024, after a one-day orbital journey. The Crew Dragon capsule, named Freedom, carried NASA astronaut Nick Hague and Russian cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov. This mission is significant, not only for being the first human spaceflight launched from Space ...

NASA is launching the SpaceX Crew-9 mission on September 26, 2024, transforming it into a rescue operation. Astronaut Nick Hague and cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov will lead the mission to bring home stranded astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams. Originally scheduled for a short mission, Wilmore and Williams now face an extended stay on the ISS...

Israeli military strikes across the Palestinian Gaza Strip killed at least 61 people in the space of 48 hours, local medics said on Saturday, as Israeli forces battled Hamas operatives in the territory.

A colossal asteroid impact about 4 billion years ago dramatically altered Ganymede, Jupiter's largest moon. The asteroid, estimated to be 186 miles wide, struck Ganymede with such force that it reoriented the moon and removed a significant portion of its original surface. This impact not only created a massive crater but also affected Ganymede's in...

Scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery by detecting and measuring the ambipolar electric field around Earth for the first time. This field, hypothesised over 60 years ago, was observed during the Endurance rocket mission launched by NASA in May 2022. The ambipolar field, located in the ionosphere at around 250 kilometres above Earth's surf...

On August 20, 2024, SpaceX successfully launched 22 new Starlink satellites, significantly expanding its global satellite network. The launch took place at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, with the Falcon 9 rocket lifting off at 9:20 a.m. EDT. This mission was particularly noteworthy because it involved a brand-new Falcon 9 rocket mak...

ESA’s Φsat-2 satellite was launched aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base, marking a significant advancement in Earth observation technology. This cutting-edge CubeSat is designed to push the boundaries of how artificial intelligence can enhance space-based monitoring. Equipped with a state-of-the-art multispectral cam...

A Russian satellite has broken up into more than 100 pieces of debris in orbit, forcing astronauts on the International Space Station to take shelter, US space agencies said.

Collaborating with Space Force guardians, the launch aimed to validate the safety, security, effectiveness, and readiness of the weapon system.

After 25 years, the US Space Force rediscovered it, raising questions about space junk tracking and management.

A technical malfunction forced Russia on Tuesday to abort the test launch of the Angara-A5 rocket from its Vostochny Cosmodrome minutes before it was scheduled to lift off.
