Mars haunts us as a vision of a planet gone wrong. It was once warm and wet, with rivers flowing across its surface and (potentially) simple life residing in its water bodies. Now it's dry and freezing. Could Earth suffer this fate? Are there innumerable other worlds throughout

Title: From Earth to Space: Testing Technology in Lava Tubes for Future Space Exploration What does an ancient lava tube in the Canary Islands have in common with space exploration? The answer may surprise you. For robotics teams working on developing technologies for future lunar and Martian explorations, the significance

The recent exploration of gravitational waves marks a revolutionary chapter in both astronomy and communications technology. The idea that these ripples in spacetime, first predicted by Albert Einstein and later detected in 2015 by LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory), might also serve as a medium for communication is both exhilarating

The Space Coast is poised for an ambitious year ahead in 2025, as the Space Force prepares to facilitate an unprecedented number of launches. With projections suggesting an average of 13 launches per month, this ambition could result in a staggering total of 156 launches for the year. However, such

A Balloon Mission That Could Explore Venus Indefinitely Published on January 30, 2025 by Andy Tomaswick Sometimes, the best innovative ideas come from synthesizing two previous ones. We’ve previously reported on the concept of having a balloon explore the atmosphere of Venus, and we have closely followed the progress

Asteroids are often dismissed as mere cosmic debris, yet their significance to Earth is profound. A recently discovered asteroid, designated 2024 YR4, has elicited concerns among astronomers, as it carries a small but non-negligible chance of colliding with our planet in 2032. This article will explore the asteroid's

In January 2025, a newly discovered asteroid was reported to have a slight chance of impacting Earth on December 22, 2032. The asteroid, designated as 2024 YR4, was first identified by a telescope located in Chile, which observed its trajectory and estimated its size to be between 130 and 330

The study of asteroid samples is a highly lucrative area of research and one of the best ways to determine how the Solar System came to be. Given that asteroids are leftover material from the formation of the Solar System, they are likely to contain vital clues about how several

```html Though it’s a cold, dead planet, Mars still has its own natural beauty about it. This image shows us something we’ll never see on Earth. Mars has only a thin, tenuous atmosphere, and most of it (95%) is carbon dioxide. When Martian winter arrives, CO2 freezes and
