Nasa has released the first photographs from its Artemis II mission, offering a breathtaking view of Earth as the astronauts race toward the moon, marking humanity’s first journey beyond Earth orbit in more than five decades. The images showcase our blue planet’s radiant beauty as the crew approaches their lunar flyby.Downlinked Friday, just 1½ days…
A new frontier in biotechnology is beginning to blur the line between science fiction and reality. A startup backed by wealthy investors, including R3 Bio, is working on growing so-called “bodyoids”, human-like biological systems developed from stem cells but deliberately designed without brains. These structures are not conscious or sentient, yet they can potentially sustain…
Researchers detected the building blocks of DNA in samples collected from asteroid Ryugu/ (Image credit: JAXA, University of Tokyo) A detailed analysis of samples returned from the asteroid Ryugu has revealed the presence of all five canonical “letters” of DNA and RNA, a finding scientists say strengthens the case that the basic ingredients for life…
Since the April 2026 earthquake in Turkey, the world has watched in awe as floating lights have appeared following this seismic event. With their origins rooted deeply in folklore, combined with modern geophysical knowledge, these luminous displays can bridge ancient cultural beliefs with new scientific discoveries. While often dismissed as mere optical illusions or UFO…
Screengrab from video released by Nasa A new video released by Nasa captures a defining moment of the Artemis II mission, the ignition of the Orion spacecraft’s main engine. The footage posted on social media by the space agency shows the service module engine firing in deep space, marking a crucial step as the spacecraft…
Artemis II was launched on Thursday. In a major leap for human spaceflight, Nasa’s Artemis II mission successfully executed a critical engine burn late Thursday, sending its crew out of Earth’s orbit and onto a path toward the moon.The trans-lunar injection took place about 25 hours after liftoff, placing three American astronauts and one Canadian…
In 1980, when the event occurred, it was labelled Britain’s Roswell. At that point, there were many US Air Force members at the site who had all independently observed a metallic object that emitted light. Based on the release of government documents by the Ministry of Defence under the Freedom of Information Act, there were…
Artemis II astronauts embark on historic Nasa mission (AP image) As Nasa’s Artemis II mission launches, the astronauts have brought along a carefully curated stockpile of food designed to keep them healthy, full and energized throughout their journey around the Moon. Ever wondered what the crew is eating as they make history, venturing beyond Earth…
Quote of the day by Neil Armstrong (Image source: Wikipedia) There is a clear pattern in human history. People don’t always pick the easiest way. Instead, they often move toward challenges, even when the risks are high and the results are unknown. When we think about space exploration, this idea becomes even clearer. Neil Armstrong,…
A profound shift in botanical research reveals that the massive physical structures of our forests are not ‘built’ from the ground up as previously believed. The physical structure of trees is still stable and has its foundational base in the earth; however, research done by NASA shows there is 95 per cent to 98 per…
