Lunar Outpost to deliver Lunar Terrain Vehicle to Moon with Starship
Friday, 22 November 2024 06:59Lunar Outpost, a leader in lunar mobility, robotics, and space resource development, has finalized an agreement with SpaceX to transport its Lunar Terrain Vehicle (LTV) to the Moon aboard a SpaceX Starship. This collaboration positions Lunar Outpost to support NASA Artemis astronauts with advanced surface mobility while also establishing vital infrastructure for sustainable lunar and space-based
The Milky Way represents an outlier among similar galaxies
Friday, 22 November 2024 06:59For decades, scientists have used the Milky Way as a model for understanding how galaxies form. But a trio of new studies raises questions about whether the Milky Way is truly representative of other galaxies in the universe. "The Milky Way has been an incredible physics laboratory, including for the physics of galaxy formation and the physics of dark matter," said Risa Wechsler, the Human
The first 'zoomed-in' image of a star outside our galaxy
Friday, 22 November 2024 06:59Scientists said Thursday they have taken the first ever close-up image of a star outside of the Milky Way, capturing a blurry shot of a dying behemoth 2,000 times bigger than the Sun. Roughly 160,000 light years from Earth, the star WOH G64 sits in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of our home Milky Way. It is a red supergiant, which is the largest type of star in the univer
Galaxy collision unveils violent shockwave in stunning detail
Friday, 22 November 2024 06:59A galaxy traveling at an extraordinary speed of 2 million mph (3.2 million km/h) has collided with Stephan's Quintet, creating a dramatic shockwave now observed in unprecedented detail by one of Earth's most advanced telescopes. Stephan's Quintet, a group of five galaxies discovered nearly 150 years ago, is a cosmic meeting point where past galactic collisions have left a debris-filled env
Ready set action our Sun takes center stage in simulation advances
Friday, 22 November 2024 06:59NASA's supercomputers are providing unprecedented insights into the Sun's dynamic and complex behavior. Drawing on data from a suite of solar observation spacecraft, researchers are using advanced simulations to deepen understanding of the Sun's turbulent inner processes. The latest visualizations highlight the strength of turbulent motions within the Sun's inner layers. These motions rese
Astronomers capture detailed image of distant dying star
Friday, 22 November 2024 06:59"For the first time, we have succeeded in taking a zoomed-in image of a dying star in a galaxy outside our own Milky Way," said Keiichi Ohnaka, an astrophysicist from Universidad Andres Bello in Chile. Using the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI), scientists captured the red supergiant star WOH G64, located 160,000 light-years away in the Large Magellanic
