Monday, 01 August 2022 13:25
Debris of the recently launched Long March 5B carrier rocket of China fell back to the Earth and ended up in the Pacific Ocean early Sunday morning, with most of the remnants burnt up during the reentry process, the China Manned Space Agency said.
The debris' atmospheric reentry and crash took place around 12:55 am (Beijing time), the agency said in a brief statement, noting the touchdown Space travel: Bone aging in fast forward
Monday, 01 August 2022 13:25
Long periods in space damage bone structure irreparably in some cases and can make parts of the human skeleton age prematurely by up to 10 years. This is what a sport scientist at University of Erlangen-Nuremberg (FAU) has now discovered in conjunction with other researchers from Germany, Canada and the USA.

Monday, 01 August 2022 13:25
A new study in AGU's Geophysical Research Letters reports on the first detection of a large, distant earthquake in a network of balloon-bound pressure sensors in the stratosphere. The technique could one day be applied on Venus, whose hot, dense and corrosive atmosphere limits our ability to sense Venus-quakes from the planet's surface. The balloons could also be used on Earth in hard-to-reach p China launches two more remote sensing satellites into orbit

China used a Long March 2D carrier rocket to launch several remote-sensing satellites on Friday night, according to China Aerospace Science and Technology Corp, the country's leading space contractor.
The rocket blasted off at 9:28 pm at the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in Sichuan province and soon placed the Yaogan 35-02 satellites, the third group of spacecrafts in the Yaogan 35 remot Space Force to take on bigger role planning future DoD space investments

There is always something new and exciting happening in the field of black hole research.
Albert Einstein first published his book explaining the theory of general relativity - which postulated black holes - in 1922. One hundred years later, astronomers captured actual images of the black hole at the center of the Milky Way. In a recent paper, a team of astronomers describes another exciti Scientists have systematized all the halos discovered over thousands of years of observations

For the first time in the history of observations, scientists from the Helsinki and Ural Federal Universities Jarmo Moilanen and Maria Gritsevich have systematized information about all forms of atmospheric halos recorded by mankind at the end of 2021. From numerous sources of data on observations, the history of which includes 4-5 millennia, 119 different forms of atmospheric halo are known tod Next generation atomic clocks are a step closer to real world applications
