Jared Isaacman, a billionaire entrepreneur, is back in the spotlight as the Senate prepares to revisit his nomination for NASA's top job. The Senate's Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee will hold a hearing on December 3rd to discuss his appointment. This isn't Isaacman's first rodeo; he
NASA is finally talking openly about the oddities of comet 3I/ATLAS. This interstellar visitor has been puzzling scientists for months. Now, during a live event, NASA scientists are sharing details that hint at something out of the ordinary. The comet's nickel-to-iron ratio is not what they expecte
Comet 3I/ATLAS just flew by Mars, and NASA shared some cool images taken by the MAVEN spacecraft. The pictures show the hydrogen cloud around the comet, but there's more to the story than what NASA said. The hydrogen cloud around 3I/ATLAS isn't acting like a typical comet. It's not spread out evenl
After a brief pause, NASA has resumed its work and shared exciting news about the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS. This comet, once thought to be something more exotic, has been confirmed as a natural phenomenon, not alien tech. NASA held a press conference to reveal images and data collected from vari
NASA has just shared a bunch of new pictures of a comet that's not from around here. This comet, called 3I/ATLAS, is only the third one we've ever seen that's from another star system. Even with a government shutdown slowing things down, NASA's spacecraft managed to snap some great shots. The pictu
In 2019, a story broke that seemed straight out of a sci-fi movie: the first ever crime committed in space. The tale involved a custody battle, identity theft, and an astronaut. However, the truth turned out to be much more down-to-earth. Summer Worden, a former Air Force intelligence officer, made
On Mars, the Perseverance rover has been busy checking out rocks. Most are pretty ordinary, but recently, it found something unusual. While checking out the bedrock at a spot called Vernodden, Perseverance spotted a rock that stood out. This rock, named Phippsaksla, is about 31 inches wide and looks
Deep inside a cave in southern Italy, a remarkable discovery has been made. The Altamura Man, a Neanderthal fossil trapped in rock, has given scientists their first-ever look at a Neanderthal's nasal cavity. This is a big deal because these delicate bones usually don't survive in fossils. Researche
A strange object from deep space is getting closer to Earth. Scientists are watching it very closely. This object is called 3I/ATLAS. It is not behaving like a normal comet. It is brightening and speeding up in ways that scientists do not fully understand. Tonight, telescopes all over the world wil
A new Mars mission is testing if cheaper, faster space science can really work. The ESCAPADE mission, launched by Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket, aims to study Mars’s interaction with the sun’s charged particles. But the real test isn’t just the science—it’s whether a mix of academic and commercial
