Nasa astronauts who landed on the moon in the 1960s and 1970s discovered an unexpected lunar characteristic: the moon has an atmosphere, albeit a tenuous one. Recent analysis of soil samples from these missions has shed light on the primary process driving this atmosphere. Researchers examined the forms of potassium and rubidium in nine tiny …
NASA is preparing for a new mission, dubbed Landolt Space Mission, by the end of the decade, that will place a satellite which will function just like an artificial star. The main objective of the mission is to improve the precision of ground-based telescopes, increasing our knowledge of the Universe. The satellite will launch in …
NASA and Boeing said they expect to bring Starliner and its first astronaut crew back to Earth from the International Space Station as soon as June 18, later than previously scheduled as mission analysts examine issues that could affect its return. Boeing’s CST-100 Starliner spacecraft was originally expected to undock on Friday and return to …

The Moon is shrinking, as per a recent study. According to the study, Earth’s moon is gradually shrinking and its circumference has reduced over 150 feet in the last few hundred million years as its interior cooled. This contraction induces surface creases and faults, resembling the wrinkles of a raisin. Yet, unlike a raisin, the …
