The launch of Boeing’s Starliner Crew Flight Test (CFT) tomorrow (Monday) is hands-down the BIG EVENT this week. But there’s lots of other good stuff going on, too, including the annual Humans to Mars Summit and the first meeting of the NASA Advisory Council in almost a year and a...
Ancient people didn't have the sophisticated understanding of gravity to predict if the eclipse would be full or partial, but they did have enough astronomical knowledge to recognize that if an eclipse happened, there was a good chance of another one happening 6,600 days later. Get the Space...
Instead, all signs point to it being an untouched and hidden planet where the values and society of the Old Republic (far before the time of the prequels) just kept going. Many galaxy-altering events have happened since that era, so chances are the entire planet w...

To figure this out, the researchers used 2D computer models of subduction zones and programmed them using known physics of how materials behave, such as how rocks deform under certain forces. Then, they observed the model to see what happened at the subduction zone and compared their findings ...
The next year, the term "fast radio burst" was coined to describe this type of event, according to the California Institute of Technology. Although these FRBs were the first to be detected, they are by no means the earliest FRBs to have occurred. In June 2022, astronomers using the Aust...
