To explain the origins of dark market, a new model of the universe has been proposed by researchers, reports Phys.org.
“Their idea is that dark matter would be produced during a infinitesimally short inflationary phase when the size of the universe q… Continue reading New Cosmological Model Proposes Dark Matter Production During Pre-Big Bang Inflation
Longtime Slashdot reader AmiMoJo shares a report from Phys.org: Researchers from Imperial College London have discovered that a space-returned sample from asteroid Ryugu was rapidly colonized by terrestrial microorganisms, even under stringent contamin… Continue reading Ryugu Asteroid Sample Rapidly Colonized By Terrestrial Life
Samples taken from the space-returned piece of asteroid Ryugu were collected and prepared under strict anti-contamination controls. Inside the cleanest of clean rooms, a tiny particle was collected from the …read more Continue reading Life Found On Ryugu Asteroid Sample, But It Looks Very Familiar
There’s an old joke that they want to send an exploratory mission to the sun, but to save money, they are going at night. The European Space Agency’s Solar Orbiter …read more Continue reading Solar Orbiter Takes Amazing Solar Pictures
When it comes to space exploration, we often think of billion-dollar projects—NASA’s Artemis missions, ESA’s Mars rovers, or China’s Tiangong station. Yet, a group of U.S. students at USC’s Rocket …read more Continue reading Aftershock II: How Students Shattered 20-Year Amateur Rocket Records
A team of undergraduate students from the University of Southern California’s Rocket Propulsion Lab set multiple amateur spaceflight records with their rocket, Aftershock II. “The student-made missile soared 90,000 feet (27,400 meters) beyond the previ… Continue reading Student-Built Rocket Breaks Multiple 20-Year Spaceflight Records
SpaceX’s Starship is the most powerful launch system ever built, dwarfing even the mighty Saturn V both in terms of mass and total thrust. The scale of the vehicle is …read more Continue reading Measuring the Mighty Roar of SpaceX’s Starship Rocket
SpaceX’s Starship rocket successfully completed its sixth launch today. Not only did it carry the first-ever payload but it also briefly re-lit one of its six Raptor engines about 38 minutes into flight, a crucial milestone for future space missions. S… Continue reading SpaceX Launches Massive Starship On Its Sixth Test Flight
In-space manufacturing is a big challenge, even with many of the same manufacturing methods being available as on the ground. These methods include rivets, bolts, but also welding, the latter …read more Continue reading NASA Announces New Trials for In-Space Laser Welding
