Scientists analyzing lunar samples from China’s Chang’e-6 mission have uncovered evidence of a colossal ancient asteroid impact. Elevated levels of heavy potassium isotopes suggest extreme heating that drove lighter elements into space, potentially explaining why the Moon’s far side lacks dark volcanic plains seen on the near side.​Scientists analyzing lunar samples from China’s Chang’e-6 mission

Astronomers have spotted a subtle orbital wobble around the massive exoplanet HD 206893 B, hinting at the presence of a gigantic moon nearly half Jupiter’s mass. If confirmed, it would be unlike any moon known, potentially redefining how scientists distinguish between moons, planets, and brown dwarfs.​Astronomers have spotted a subtle orbital wobble around the massive

NASA’s Artemis II mission will carry historic artefacts into lunar orbit in 2026, marking the first crewed Artemis flight and the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence. The flight kit includes pieces from the Wright Flyer, Apollo and Shuttle-era flags, early lunar imagery, and contributions from international partners and public outreach campaigns.​NASA’s Artemis II mission will

Astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope have uncovered new clues to the mystery of blue straggler stars—unusually hot, bright stars found in ancient globular clusters. By studying ultraviolet light from 48 clusters, scientists discovered that blue stragglers are more common in sparse clusters, supporting the idea that they form through binary star interactions …​Astronomers using

NASA engineers have tested a new laminar-flow wing concept at the Armstrong Flight Research Center by mounting a scaled CATNLF model beneath an F-15B aircraft. During high-speed taxi trials reaching about 144 mph, the design demonstrated potential to keep airflow smooth longer, reducing drag. NASA estimates the technology could cut fuel consumption by up to

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured a detailed infrared image of the Helix Nebula, also known as the “Eye of God.” The glowing ring of gas around a white dwarf star reveals filaments and knots formed as stellar winds collide with older material, offering insight into the fate of Sun-like stars.​The James Webb Space
