The Parker Probe is gearing up for its second daring encounter with the sun. This isn't just any flyby; it's a mission to get up close and personal with our star. The probe will swoop within 3. 8 million miles of the sun's surface, a distance that might seem far but is actually closer than any other
NASA had a rough year with their lunar missions. Two spacecrafts failed to land properly. The first one missed the moon entirely. The second one landed but then toppled over. It was a big letdown. It was a big risk for NASA. They had bet that private companies could handle moon missions more ch
The Blue Ghost spacecraft has just wrapped up a significant lunar mission. This mission, which spanned the duration of a full lunar day, or about two Earth weeks, took place on the moon's near side. The Blue Ghost spacecraft, roughly the size of a small car, carried out various experiments during it
Butch Wilmore, a NASA astronaut, spent 286 days in space. This was far longer than planned. He and his crewmate Sunita Williams were supposed to return home on June 13. However, technical problems with their spacecraft, Boeing's Starliner, delayed their return. They had to wait until a safer ship wa
The Moon's surface witnessed a spectacular sunset, all thanks to a spacecraft that bid its farewell. The Blue Ghost lander, a creation of Firefly Aerospace, captured this moment before the lunar night took over. The footage, released by the Texas-based company, shows the Sun's light gradually disapp
Two astronauts, Sunita Williams and Barry Wilmore, finally touched down in the Gulf of Mexico. Their journey back to Earth was far from straightforward. They spent nine months on the International Space Station, way longer than they had planned. The Boeing Starliner spacecraft they had arrived in
Astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore are finally coming back to Earth. Their journey was supposed to be quick, but it turned into a much longer adventure. They launched last June on a Boeing spacecraft, aiming for an eight-day mission. However, things didn't go as planned. The spacecraft had i
Recurring brain tumors are a big problem. Doctors have been trying to find better ways to treat them. One type of brain tumor, called grade 4 glioma, is particularly tough to handle. These tumors often come back, and when they do, it is really hard to treat them. That is why researchers are alwa
The International Space Station (ISS) is set to say goodbye to two of its crew members. Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams are scheduled to return to Earth on Tuesday, March 18. This return is highly anticipated, as their mission has lasted much longer than initially planned. They were originally sup
A private spacecraft, Blue Ghost, has wrapped up its two-week mission on the moon. The lander, owned by Firefly Aerospace, stopped working as the sun set, leaving its solar panels without energy. The mission was part of NASA's program to deliver science experiments to the moon using private companie
