What future for the Space Launch System?
Wednesday, 01 February 2023 14:04
Does a successful first flight finally mean that SLS will return astronauts to Earth’s moon more than 50 years after astronauts last visited? Does it earn SLS a future among the United States’ fleet of launch vehicles?

The Standard Model of particle physics tells us that most particles we observe are made up of combinations of just six types of fundamental entities called quarks. However, there are still many mysteries, one of which is an exotic, but very short-lived, Lambda resonance known as ^(1405).
For a long time, it was thought to be a particular excited state of three quarks-up, down, and strange-

Setting sail for safer space Governments to be major customers of future Axiom Space private astronaut missions
Wednesday, 01 February 2023 06:05
Axiom Space says the customers for its upcoming private astronaut missions to the International Space Station are dominated by governments rather than individuals.
The post Governments to be major customers of future Axiom Space private astronaut missions appeared first on SpaceNews.
Two nearby exoplanets might be habitable

The discovery: Two planets about as massive as Earth orbit a red-dwarf star only 16 light-years away - nearby in astronomical terms. The planets, GJ 1002 b and c, lie within the star's habitable zone, the orbital distance that could allow liquid water to form on a planet's surface if it has the right kind of atmosphere.
Key facts: Whether red-dwarf stars are likely to host habitable worlds

Sometimes to know what the matter is, you have to find it first. When the universe began, matter was flung outward and gradually formed the planets, stars and galaxies that we know and love today. By carefully assembling a map of that matter today, scientists can try to understand the forces that shaped the evolution of the universe.
