The superficially Earthlike appearance of Titan, as imaged by the James Webb Space Telescope, is belied by its cold and inhospitable weirdness. Titan is a strange world — a little bit Earthlike, if land were made of water ice, rivers and seas were filled with liquid methane and other hydrocarbons, and the atmosphere were thick and hazy, dotted with methane clouds. — Read the rest
On Christmas Day, 2021, an Ariane 5 rocket leaped from its launch pad in French Guiana. Perched on the rocket’s nose was the long-awaited James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). The JWST was designed to perform several tasks, but one of the most important was to study the first stars and galaxies to come into existence. The telescope has performed magnificently; however, some troubling observations have been reported. When the JWST took its first look at the sky, it seemed to have found galaxies...
NEW MEXICO (KRQE) –Scientists have been sounding the alarm on climate change for years now. To maximize the yield of solar energy, they are now looking 250 miles above Earth for a technology that could revolutionize the way people harness the sun's power. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), between the years 2030 and 2050, []
The new, tripartite Space Force Generation readiness model will create "a more experienced, capable, and threat-focused crew force," according to an internal memo obtained by Breaking Defense.

Last September, the James Webb Space Telescope, or JWST, discovered JWST-ER1g, a massive ancient galaxy that formed when the universe was just a quarter of its current age. Surprisingly, an Einstein ring is associated with this galaxy. That's because JWST-ER1g acts as a lens and bends light from a distant source, which then appears as a ring—a phenomenon called strong gravitational lensing, predicted in Einstein's theory of general relativity.

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope embarks on a cosmic treasure hunt for small belt asteroids. NASA's Hubble Space Telescope embarks on a cosmic treasure hunt, scanning the vast expanse to capture the trails of small asteroids that dart through space.
Engineers at L3Harris Technologies in Rochester, New York, have combined all 10 mirrors for NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. Preliminary tests show the newly aligned optics, collectively called the IOA (Imaging Optics Assembly), will direct light into Roman's science instruments extremely precisely. This will yield crisp images of space once the observatory launches.
On March 8, a piece of space debris plunged through a roof in Naples, FL, ripped through two floors and (fortunately) missed the son of homeowner Alejandro Otero. On Tuesday, NASA confirmed the results of its analysis of the incident. As suspected, it’s a piece of equipment dumped from the International Space Station (ISS) three years ago. NASA’s investigation of the object at Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral confirmed it was a piece of the EP-9 support equipment used to mount batteries...
