The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has granted SpaceX the launch licence required for the Starship Flight 7 test. This decision, announced on December 17, allows the company to move forward with preparations for the world’s largest rocket at its Starbase facility in Boca Chica, Texas. The approval comes after a series of rigorous engine tests…
Time moves faster on the Moon than on Earth, a new study based on Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity, published in Astronomical Journal has shown. Since the moon’s gravitational pull is weaker than Earth’s, the clocks on the Moon tick faster with the difference being about 56 microseconds per Earth day, or 0.000056 seconds….
The moons of Mars, Phobos and Deimos, could have formed from the remnants of an asteroid that was destroyed by the planet’s gravitational forces. Researchers from NASA and Durham University utilised advanced computer simulations to explore how such an event might have unfolded. These findings present a compelling new explanation for the origin of Mars’…
Efforts to uncover life on icy moons within our solar system have been bolstered by advancements in chemical modelling, according to recent reports. These models are being refined to better assess whether environments like Saturn’s moon, Enceladus or Jupiter’s moon Europa could support microbial life. Researchers aim to simulate the extreme conditions found on these…
