The James Webb Space Telescope will enable researchers to measure the chemical makeup of atmospheres of planets around distant stars, possibly detecting signatures of chemical life. Astro-biologists study how starlight has interacted with the atmosphere or surface of a planet. Light bouncing off a surface or passing through a gas will have certain wavelengths trapped. […]

Chinese astronauts start testing new space station module (video)
Fourteen of China’s Shenzhou astronauts are taking the necessary steps to be sure that over the next ten years, their space station module will be ready to host crews. On July 24th, Wentian was launched, and it subsequently docked with the Tianhe core module. This now gives the Tiangong space station two modules. The astronauts […]
How the Physics of Nothing Underlies Everything
Long ago, Aristotle stated that nature abhors a vacuum. A vacuum isn’t just an absence of air. There are also electromagnetic vacuums and gravitational vacuums. In classical physics, nothing is happening in a vacuum. In quantum physics, most vacuum fields have a preferred state or “true vacuum.” But others fields are different. Work on string […]
The James Webb Space Telescope makes stunning images thanks to these engineering solutions
In 1989, when engineers were trying to make a new and modern telescope to see into space, much of the technology they needed to build it didn’t even exist yet. Ultimately, there were 10 new technologies that they needed to create, in order to build what would be the James Webb Space Telescope. This is […]
SpaceX’s Starship won’t launch on 1st orbital test flight this month
SpaceX’s Starship vehicle will not make its initial orbital test flight in August. Instead, it is targeting a six-month window beginning September 1st. SpaceX still needs a launch license from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration. Starship has a first-stage booster and an upper-stage spacecraft, both powered by Raptor engines, and both designed to be reusable. […]
Pentagon space chief condemns ‘irresponsible’ launch of Russian inspector satellite
The Pentagon has made a statement concerning the launch of a satellite by Russia that is believed to be following an American satellite in the same orbit. According to a Netherland’s based satellite tracker, the Russian satellite is mirroring the satellite from the US. According to US General James H. Dickerson, that is not responsible […]
Building on the moon and Mars? You’ll need extraterrestrial cement for that
In order to perform sustained space exploration, there needs to be some infrastructure in space that hasn’t been built yet. This includes housing and rocket landing pads. When the need for cement arises in space, it can’t easily be purchased as it can on Earth. So scientists are trying to see if they can use […]
Cultural Bias Distorts the Search for Alien Life
Humans have always looked out to space and the heavens in order to make sense of life on Earth. We’ve always wanted to know if we are alone, or if there are aliens out in the universe. Different scientific and philosophical traditions have different answers to those questions. Astronomers now use telescopes to try and […]
Dr. Garry Nolan on Tucker Carlson (FULL INTERVIEW)
Tucker Carlson interviews Dr. Garry Nolan on the remarkable UFO-UAP disclosure taking place through the US Intelligence agencies. Garry Nolan experience seems to come straight from a Sci-Fi movie script, as Garry describes. The Intelligence agencies approached Garry because of his background and success in immunology and academic seat of Pathology at Stanford University School […]
Watch 2 Russian cosmonauts spacewalk outside the International Space Station today
In these days of the conflict in Ukraine, economic instability, market crisis and high inflation, it is easy to forget that international scientific teams are continuing to work together on space research and exploration. Two cosmonauts from Russia will be going on a lengthy spacewalk today. Thanks to the technological advancements, we can watch the […]
