In September, we wrote about the gold asteroid named 16 Psyche after NASA announced that it was working to uncover the mystery behind an asteroid that may contain a priceless treasure trove of minerals. The asteroid is estimated to be worth […]
We covered WiBotic back in July when the Seattle-based tech startup partners with Ubiquity Robotics to offer wireless charging for Magni Robot. The partnership makes it possible for Magni users to program the robot to navigate to a charging station where […]
Researchers at the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have made one of the highest-performance cameras ever composed of sensors that count single photons, or particles of light. With over 1,000 sensors or pixels, NIST’s superconducting camera can count […]
We wrote about NASA back in 2018 after the U.S. space agency received a response from Voyager 1 spacecraft that was 13 billion miles away after 37 years of inactivity. The twin space probe, Voyager 2 was launched by NASA 16 days […]
Back in August, we wrote about Rocket Lab after the space startup announced its plans to recover and reuse the first stage of its electron first stage and then capture them mid-air by a helicopter. Today, Rocket Lab announced its next Electron […]
Last week, we wrote about SpaceX after Elon Musk space company launched 60 new Starlink internet satellites, totaling more than 800 Starlink satellites in orbit. Starlink is a satellite internet constellation that provides satellite Internet access. According to SpaceX, the constellation will […]
Researchers from NASA’s Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) confirmed for the first time that molecular water has been discovered on the sunlit surface of the moon, indicating “water may be distributed across the lunar surface, and not limited to […]
Struggling to get a phone signal at home on planet Earth? Perhaps you’ll have better luck on the moon. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) announced it has selected Nokia to build the first broadband wireless network on the moon, the Finnish […]
Since World War II, speed has been a key factor in warfare. Toward the end of World War II in 1944, Nazi Germany developed the world’s first long-range guided ballistic missile called the V-2 rocket (or “Vengeance Weapon 2”). V-2 rocket later […]

Back in August, we wrote about SpaceX after Elon Musk’s space company was selected by NASA as one of three prime contractors to develop the Artemis Human Lunar Landing System. The other two companies are Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin and Dynetics (a subsidiary of Leidos). According […]
Momentus, a Silicon Valley-based space startup that provides in-space flights for satellites between orbits, is in final talks to go public through the special purpose acquisition company, or SPAC, which Stable Road raised $172.5 million for in November 2019. A SPAC […]
SpaceX reached another milestone today after it Falcon 9 successfully launched 60 Starlink satellites. In a tweet, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said, “Once these satellites reach their target position, we will be able to roll out a fairly wide public beta […]
Albert Einstein formulated his theory of general relativity over 100 years ago. Using the equation E = mc2, Einstein reasoned that gravity is the warping of space and time. E = mc2 is the world’s most famous equation, but what […]
Scientists have recently discovered three new underground lakes near the south pole of Mars. According to a new study published in the journal Nature Astronomy, the detection of liquid water by the Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionosphere Sounding […]
Late last year, the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) said it would be landing the first woman ever on the Moon within four years. At the time, the agency said it plans to return human back on the lunar surface for […]
In August we wrote about NASA after the space agency awarded a multi-million contract to SpaceX, Blue Origins, and Dynetics as part of its efforts to return astronauts to the moon by 2024. As part of the contract, SpaceX will develop […]
Remember the California Gold Rush? That’s a child’s play compared to the asteroid mineral rush that NASA is set to launch in 2022. Known as 16 Psyche, it is one of the most massive asteroids in the asteroid belt. The asteroid is […]
Scientists announced on Monday they’ve detected trace amounts of phosphine gas in the clouds of Venus, which could be a potential indicator of life on Earth’s inhospitable neighbor. This is the first compelling sign of potential life beyond Earth. The same phosphine gas, […]
Have you ever wondered how potential asteroids have not hit our planet? We earthlings might have the giant planet that is 10 times larger than the Earth to thank for our very existence. It turns out that Jupiter may be more than just an […]
