The $85 million tech demo was supposed to end a few days ago, but NASA extended the mission by at least a month to get more flying time.
The previous four tests flights ended in fiery explosions before, during or soon after touchdown at the southeastern tip of Texas, near Brownsville.
SpaceX has received more than 500,000 preorders for its Starlink satellite internet service and anticipates no technical problems meeting the demand, founder Elon Musk said
It would be the first US splashdown in darkness since Apollo 8′s crew returned from the moon in 1968.
On its fifth flight in a week or so, the chopper will move to a new airfield on Mars, allowing the rover to finally start focusing on its own rock-sampling mission.
Located 215 million light years away, the source, named AT 2018cow, was tracked for more than two years by scientists at the TIFR-National Centre for Radio Astrophysics (NCRA) using their own upgraded Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (uGMRT).
NASA's SpaceX Crew-2 mission consists of four astronauts - NASA's Shane Kimbrough and Megan McArthur, JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) astronaut Akihiko Hoshide and ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut Thomas Pesquet.
In counties where a majority of residents voted for Trump in the 2020 election, adult vaccination rates were lower, on average, than in counties where a majority of residents voted for Biden.
NASA has decided to reschedule the Ingenuity Mars Helicopter’s first experimental flight to no earlier than April 14, based on the data from the Ingenuity Mars helicopter
The first quadruple quasar image was captured in 1985 and since then, only 50 such quasars have been identified. The latest finding has now increased the total confirmed Einstein's crosses by 25 per cent.
The particle célèbre is the muon, which is akin to an electron but far heavier and is an integral element of the cosmos.
Homo sapiens first appeared in Africa approximately 300,000 years ago and later trekked to other parts of the world, sometimes encountering Neanderthals — our close cousins — already inhabiting parts of Eurasia.
Elske Tielens, an insect ecologist at the University of Oklahoma, found that on July 26, 2019, the peak night of the invasion, some 46 million grasshoppers took wing and then clustered over the brightest parts of the city.
Astronomers do not know from the source of these X-rays light coming from Uranus but have come up with two possible explanations
Astronomers used the asteroid Apophis' flyby on March 5, 2021, as an opportunity to use powerful radar observations to estimate the celestial object's orbit around the Sun.
Astronomers hope to understand how the reason why a black hole eats matter (a celestial object) that is in its orbit and also how it shoots out massive jet particles into outer space
Early in its history, Mars may have possessed liquid water on its surface approximately equivalent in volume to half of the Atlantic Ocean, enough to have covered the entire planet with water perhaps up to nearly a mile (1.5 km) deep.
Known as the "Quadrilateral Security Dialogue", the Quad grouping held its first virtual summit last week.
Astronomers were surprised by the new findings as the new atmosphere contains a toxic mix of hydrogen, methane and hydrogen cyanide. In addition, it also contains aerosol haze similar to Earth which is a result of photochemically produced hydrocarbons.
The light detected from this jet was emitted at a very early age of the universe when it was 0.98 billion years old, almost one-tenth of its age now.
The acoustic recording of laser shots on Mars released by NASA sounds more like a snap produced from the laser hitting a rock.
The NGC 2336 which was discovered more than a century ago in 1876 by German astronomer Wilhelm Tempel can be seen in a high-resolution image released by NASA
The LHS 3844b is an exoplanet that is tidally locked to its star which means that one side of it is permanently facing the star while the other faces the space.
The drive lasted about 33 minutes, propelling the rover forward by four metres, where it then turned to the left by 150 degrees and backed up 2.5 metres into its new temporary parking space, the American space agency noted in a statement.
The panchromatic images were taken by the high-resolution camera of China's spacecraft, Tianwen-1 meaning Questions to Heaven, at a distance of 330 to 350 km above the surface of Mars.
