Roughly the size of a small car and weighing in at three tons, the camera features a five-foot wide front
By Mark Waghorn The moon formed rapidly in a giant impact between Earth and a Mars-sized planet 4.5 billion years ago, according to new research. It was placed immediately into orbit around Earth – turning a previous theory on its head. Simulations show for the first time how the satellite was born – fueling life

By Simona Kitanovska Carbon dioxide is already being converted into oxygen on Mars thanks to an invention undergoing testing that could lead to the colonization of the red planet. Day and night across the seasons, a lunchbox-sized instrument generates breathable gas from Mars’s thin atmosphere. In several experimental runs, it reached its target of producing
By James King Space scientists are planning to turn lunar dust into the raw material for 3D printers to construct settlements and landing pads on the Moon. The project – being carried out by scientists from the Hannover Laser Center (LZH) and the Berlin Technical University (TU Berlin), located in Germany – has already been
By Pol Fernandez This is the worrying moment Russia launches a new military satellite into space. The satellite was launched on a Soyuz -2.1 rocket from the Plesetsk cosmodrome, 800 km north of Moscow, on Thursday, May 19.

By Jonathan Hobbs NASA has unveiled a new initiative to go to Mars — a digital one. The space agency is teaming with Epic Games to offer a challenge for developers to create a Martian metaverse experience. The project will develop essential habitats for Martian astronauts, which will be recreated using Epic Games’ Unreal Engine
By Simona Kitanovska A dwarf planet that exists between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter was probably created in the frozen deep space before it became part of the asteroid belt. Ceres was almost a complete mystery until the robotic NASA spacecraft Dawn approached it for its orbital mission in 2015, and since then scientists
By John Murphy NASA astronaut Jessica Watkins made history last month when she became the first Black woman to live and work on the International Space Station. Late last year, NASA announced Watkins would be assigned to the SpaceX Crew-4 mission to space. She was first selected as an astronaut by NASA in 2017. On
