After missing its initial launch window in part due to the pandemic, the European Space Agencys ExoMars 2022 mission is finally set to launch in September. Its objective, as its name suggests, will be to probe the presence of past life on Mars. Just like NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA) and th

The British company Space Entertainment Enterprise would like to launch a film production studio module intended to connect to the International Space Station (ISS). Houston-based Axiom Space will be responsible for building the module. The cinema invites itself into space today. A few months ago,

In the journal Nature, a team of astronomers details the discovery of a mysterious twinkling object spewing huge amounts of energy towards Earth three times an hour . This eerily powerful body located about 4,000 light-years from the Sun is unlike any other known structure. Neither a supernova nor

According to a team of astrophysicists, the most massive globular cluster in the neighboring galaxy Andromeda could harbor an intermediate-mass black hole. However, no object of this type has yet been detected with certainty. There are three types of black holes in the Universe. The first, those of

Analysis of large salt deposits on Mars suggests pools of liquid water have existed on the Red Planet for almost a billion more years than previously believed. Hundreds of sodium chloride deposits spanning tens to hundreds of square kilometers were discovered by NASAs Mars Odyssey orbiter as early

Nearly five years after its detection, the nature of Oumuamua, the first known interstellar visitor, is still unknown. While the object is leaving our system, a group of researchers proposes to send a mission directly on site to study it before it is too late. An intriguing object In October 2017,

According to a study, microorganisms have adapted to one of the most hostile environments on Earth, a sulphurous and acidic lake in Costa Rica considered an analogue of the ancient lakes of Mars. One of the most hostile environments in the world Located at 2300 meters above sea level, Laguna Calien

In the United States, a company is working on a technology to deprive the Earth satellite of a particular resource:regolith. For many, this lunar dust indeed has enormous potential value. However, it would be a question of using the materials obtained directly on the Moon. Exploit the Moon Regolith

The ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) probe recently captured a peculiar image of the surface of the Red Planet, revealing to us a crater that could easily be mistaken for a stump tree trunk and its characteristic concentric rings. How to explain such a structure? ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) is a

In 2020, astronomers thought they had unearthed the second terrestrial Trojan asteroid on record. A new team has just confirmed its presence around the point of Lagrange 4. According to these analyzes, this small additional moon should accompany the Earth for approximately 4000 years. Trojan astero

SpaceX plans to launch 52 rockets in 2022. If successful, that would be the most launches the company has operated in a single year. Last year, SpaceX had already broken its own record with 31 launches. This Sunday, SpaceX once again delayed the launch of an Italian Earth observation satellite due

Kyle Hippchen, lucky winner of SpaceXs A Ticket to Space contest was forced to step down due to the weight limit set by the company. In September 2021, he therefore watched from the ground the take-off of the Falcon 9 rocket, which was carrying four space tourists. A limit to respect If youre not a

NASAs first Artemis lunar mission will have to wait a while longer. According to the agency, its launch will finally take place in April at the earliest. Engineers need more time to perform security checks. NASA is very meticulous in nature. Indeed, since the past disappointments, nothing is now le

Uranus and Neptune have almost the same size and mass. They also have similar compositions and structures, even turnover rates. However, their color is different. If these two planets are so similar, how can this difference be explained? Uranus and Neptune, the two most distant (and forgotten) plan

NASA has just announced that the International Space Station (ISS) will be deorbited in January 2031. Launched in 1998, this laboratory should normally dive to around 2,700 kilometers from Point Nemo. Located in the Pacific, it is the farthest point from any land surface. A controlled plunge in 203

In the movie Moonfall, released on February 4, a force ejects the Moon from its orbit and sends it on a collision course with our planet. In reality, could a natural or other object really transform our satellite into a projectile capable of crashing into the Earth? In the film industry, the name R

On Thursday, February 3, a Falcon 9 rocket launched 49 new Starlink satellites from Florida. The next day, an ongoing geomagnetic storm above Earth slightly increased the density of Earths atmosphere, preventing satellites from returning to orbit. Result:most of them are now convicted. Storm warnin

A few hours ago, Elon Musk gave an update on SpaceXs Starship project, which is being prepared in Texas. The company hopes to take a major step this year on its road to Mars by offering a first orbital flight. A first orbital flight soon The SpaceX company is developing a giant rocket known as the

According to a new study, the Suns closest neighbor may actually host three planets. Astronomers have indeed found evidence suggesting the presence of a new world evolving very close to Proxima Centauri. Details of this work are published in the journal Astronomy &Astrophysics. And three! Found onl

The wings of the primary mirror are now extended, completing a beautiful golden petal 6.5m in diameter. The most critical processes are now closed, but other dangers still lurk at the James Webb Telescope. Space debris and other micrometeoroids weighing less than one gram are among them. So far, ev
