NASA Cracks 30-Year X-ray Mystery With Blazing Black Hole Light Show May 7, 2025 Astronomers using NASA’s IXPE satellite have finally cracked a cosmic mystery—how X-rays are produced in… Space Once-in-a-Lifetime Sky Show: A “New Star” Will Soon Light Up the Night ...
National Aeronautics & Space Administration (NASA) has cancelled the space flight to deploy the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS), which is designed to detect high-energy charged cosmic rays in space and perhaps discover unknown pulsars and x-ray sources and observe dark matter. The project was ...
The Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer, or IXPE, mission is assigned to launch on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. IXPE is designed to measure the polarization of high-energy cosmic X-rays, collecting data that will allow astronomers to study the unseen...
"We don't have the solution yet in terms of shielding, in terms of protecting you from cosmic rays and solar flares that you experience during this transit time," Jones said. Aerospace experts have identified several technologies that need rapid development, including spacecraft that can survive...
Water: While Mars is dry and arid today, evidence suggests that it may have had liquid water in the past. Ancient riverbeds, lake basins, and signs of water erosion indicate that Mars once had a much wetter and possibly warmer environment. ...
Rocket launch today: Is there a rocket launch and what time? Moon mining machine: Interlune unveils helium-3 harvester prototype (photo) SpaceX gets updated Starship launch license but still awaits Flight 9 approval James Webb Space Telescope discovers an alien planetary system's icy edge Our...
NASA’s interactive Eyes on Earth satellite map shows the location and rendering of NASA satellites orbiting Earth, as well as decades of data that they’ve collected.
NASA’s Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) mission is the first satellite dedicated to measuring the polarization of X-rays from a variety of cosmic sources, such as black holes and neutron stars. Credit: NASA Cassiopeia A is the shredded remains of a star that exploded several thousand...
