The James Webb Space Telescope will be the largest telescope ever launched into space, but it’s not without its issues. One of the biggest issues involves its MIRI (Mid-Infrared Instrument). Originally, the James Webb Space Telescope was set to launch in 2013 and become operational by 2016, but a failure […]
NASA has launched the first-ever spacecraft designed to intercept and smack an asteroid with a glancing blow, providing valuable information that could help protect Earth from similar impacts in the future. The agency’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) will attempt to slow down an approaching space rock called Didymos B, […]
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has officially begun to observe space, and it’s taken its first images of the Carina Nebula, which NASA calls a region of massive star formation that contains some of the brightest stars in our Milky Way galaxy. The new telescope recently sent back some […]
The Kepler Telescope has been conducting research since 2009, with one of its main objectives being to search the Milky Way galaxy for planets that have the potential to support life. In 2016, it received data on 1,284 new exoplanets, bringing the total number of verified planets to 3,539. A […]
Launched in 1977, Voyager 2 has been exploring the solar system for over 30 years and is still actively transmitting scientific data back to Earth. It passed by Jupiter in 1979, Saturn in 1980, and Uranus in 1986, sending information about each of these planets back to Earth. As of […]
NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft has been flying through space for over 35 years, making it the farthest human-made object from Earth. At this point, it’s almost 12 billion miles away from Earth and heading out of our solar system into interstellar space, but recent data from the craft has some […]
How far away are the planets, asteroids, and comets in our solar system? Are there any planets, asteroids, or comets out there that we haven’t found yet? NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope is set to launch in 2018, and it will have the ability to find and study the mysterious […]
There is no definitive answer to whether space hotels exist or not. However, several companies are in the business of providing space tourism services, and some of them have even unveiled designs for their proposed space hotels. While the idea of spending your vacation in outer space might seem like […]
What is the Spitzer space telescope? The Spitzer Space Telescope is an infrared space telescope launched by NASA on August 25, 2003. It is the fourth and final of the Earth-orbiting instruments in NASA’s huge Observation program, after Hubble, Compton, and Chandra. Named after astronomer Lyman Spitzer, who proposed the […]
The world wide Station in space is a human-orbiting research lab where crew members conduct experiments and live, work and play in orbit for months at a time. The largest structure ever built in space, the orbiting laboratory is a multinational effort by several space agencies representing the United States, […]
