In a recent breakthrough, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) made an exciting discovery, a new moon orbiting Uranus. Named S/2025 U1, the tiny moon is just about 10 kilometres (6 miles) in diameter, yet its detection marks a major breakthrough. Even NASA’s Voyager 2, which flew past Uranus nearly four decades ago, missed it….
Astronomers using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have made a discovery that could reshape our understanding of the cosmos. While analysing deep space images, a team from the University of Missouri identified 300 mysterious objects that may be among the very first galaxies ever formed after the Big Bang. These ancient structures appear unusually…
NASA is undergoing a dramatic pivot under its new acting chief, Sean Duffy, who has announced a shift in the agency’s priorities from Earth-focused climate programs to deep space exploration. During a recent interview, Duffy emphasized that NASA’s mission is to explore space, rather than conduct extensive Earth science research, signaling an end to many…
Blue Origin, led by Jeff Bezos, is gearing up for a landmark mission to Mars, set to launch NASA’s ESCAPADE probes aboard the New Glenn rocket on September 29, 2025. This will mark Blue Origin’s first interplanetary flight and is notable because it precedes any Mars-bound mission from Elon Musk’s SpaceX, whose Starship is still…
This image provided by NASA shows, from left, NASA’s SpaceX Crew-10 members JAXA Four astronauts have safely returned to Earth after spending five months aboard the International space station (ISS). Their SpaceX capsule splashed down in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Southern California on Saturday, a day after leaving the orbiting laboratory.Nasa’s Anne…
James A. Lovell Jr., the famed astronaut and commander of NASA’s Apollo 13 mission, has died at 97. Lovell passed away on August 8, 2025, in Lake Forest, Illinois, his family confirmed in a statement to NASA. Though Lovell never walked on the Moon, his leadership during Apollo 13’s near-disastrous oxygen tank explosion turned the…
NASA’s Perseverance rover has captured its most detailed and vivid panorama of the Martian landscape to date. Taken on May 26, 2025, at a location known as “Falbreen,” the image is a 360-degree mosaic stitched from 96 high-resolution photos. Enhanced in color, the stunning panorama features unusually clear skies and an optical illusion of blue,…
NASA has captured some of the most breathtaking images of stars, galaxies, and celestial events using powerful instruments like the Hubble Space Telescope, the Cassini spacecraft, and the International Space Station. These images reveal the beauty and complexity of the universe, from distant spiral galaxies and glowing nebulae to variable stars and massive star clusters….
In a major leap toward the future of high-speed travel, NASA’s experimental X-59 supersonic jet is moving closer to its first flight and could revolutionize air journeys around the world. Nicknamed the “son of Concorde,” the X-59 has successfully completed its initial low-speed taxi tests, marking a crucial milestone in its development. Designed to drastically…
In a distant corner of the universe, astronomers have identified a dramatic planetary event unfolding in real time. A young exoplanet, named TOI 1227 b, located about 330 light-years from Earth, is undergoing rapid atmospheric loss. Despite being just 8 million years old—a cosmic infant compared to Earth’s 4.5 billion years—this gas planet is already…
