Slow and steady does it on Sol 3564
We are making slow but steady progress through the "Paraitepuy pass," having passed the approximate halfway point over the weekend. Today's one sol plan found us staring around the corner at the neck of the pass and considering our drive path forward.
Sometimes, our drive forward is smooth and flat ... neither word can be used here! Our drive forward has abundant sand and sharp rocks, so f Scientists say exoplanet 100 light years from Earth may be covered with deep ocean
A team of researchers have discovered an exoplanet about 100 light years away from Earth in the Draco constellation, and they say the world appears to be covered in a deep ocean.
The exoplanet - called TOI-1452b - is slightly larger than the Earth and is located in a "Goldilocks zone," where temperatures are neither too hot nor too cold for liquid water to exist. Therefore, astronomer Keele researchers study turbulence raging inside distant stars
Stunning new images created by Keele researchers highlight the turbulent flow of energy inside distant stars.
They were created using the 3D simulation software "PROMPI", which scientists have been using to investigate stellar interiors with the aim of understanding the science of stellar evolution and black holes.
For years scientists have used one-dimensional models to explain and NASA astronaut ready for Soyuz flight to ISS
A NASA astronaut flying to the International Space Station on a Soyuz spacecraft next month says his training hasn’t been affected by tensions with Russia or uncertainty about the status of his mission.
Webb detects carbon dioxide in exoplanet atmosphere
The NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope has found definitive evidence for carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of a gas giant planet orbiting a Sun-like star 700 light-years away. The result provides important insights into the composition and formation of the planet, and is indicative of Webb’s ability to also detect and measure carbon dioxide in the thinner atmospheres of smaller rocky planets.
Watch live: Artemis I Moon launch
The countdown has started for the first human-rated launch to the Moon in over half a century. ESA’s European Service Module will be powering the Orion spacecraft to our natural satellite and back.
ESA ready for “historic” Artemis 1 mission
European officials are as excited as their American counterparts about the upcoming Artemis 1 launch that will bring them one step closer to flying European astronauts to the moon.

NASA engineer develops tiny, high-powered laser to find water on the moon
Finding water on the moon could be easier with a Goddard technology that uses an effect called quantum tunneling to generate a high-powered terahertz laser, filling a gap in existing laser technology.
Locating water and other resources is a NASA priority crucial to exploring Earth's natural satellite and other objects in the solar system and beyond. Previous experiments inferred, then confirmed the existence of small amounts of water across the moon. However, most technologies do not distinguish among water, free hydrogen ions, and hydroxyl, as the broadband detectors used cannot distinguish between the different volatiles.
FCC Commissioner criticizes Starlink’s $900 million subsidy rejection
The Federal Communications Commission denied Starlink nearly $900 million in rural broadband subsidies “without legal justification,” one of the regulator’s four commissioners said Aug. 24.
