China has officially postponed its Chang’e 7 lunar mission, citing that the spacecraft is not yet ready for its scheduled launch window. China has officially hit the pause button on its ambitious Chang’e 7 lunar mission, opting to scrap the scheduled...

Scientists suggest analyzing lunar soil for microscopic engineered particles that could hold the key to uncovering long-lost extraterrestrial civilizations. The quest to find evidence of extraterrestrial life has long focused on the skies, hunting for...

can differentiate between icy and dry lunar material, offering a new pathway to detect subsurface ice. Recreating Lunar Environments in a Cryogenic Test Chamber The experiments were conducted inside the Frozen Regolith Observation and Sublimation...

Scientists launch next‑gen BALLS to the Moon, testing a novel, ultra‑quiet method for space research that could unlock new ways to study the universe. The Africa2Moon programme has secured a slot on China’s upcoming Chang’e‑8 lunar mission, positioning...

Could the biggest discovery in the search for alien life be hidden in a handful of moon dust? New theories suggest lunar samples may hold the answer. The quest to find evidence of advanced extraterrestrial life has traditionally been synonymous with...

NASA backs a laser-powered drone to probe hidden lunar caves, promising new insights into the Moon’s interior. NASA is backing an innovative proposal that envisions a laser‑driven drone navigating the Moon’s extensive underground lava channels, opening...

Lunar settlements are gaining momentum, but new research suggests that securing enough water may be the ultimate hurdle for future moon bases. Ambitious proposals for sprawling lunar cities, championed by industry titans like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk,...

Could evidence of alien technology be hidden in plain sight? Scientists suggest searching the Moon’s dust for signs of ancient extraterrestrial visitors. A provocative new proposal suggests that the key to finding extraterrestrial life might not lie in...

New infrared analysis reveals Mercury’s surface has far less silicon dioxide than previously thought, pointing to a much more intense volcanic history. New analytical data suggests that the surface of Mercury is significantly less rich in silicon...

Tiny chemical clues inside Moon dust show what kinds of asteroids hit the Earth–Moon system for billions of years, and why those impacts added very little water to Earth. Earth has a short memory. Its surface is always changing as continents move,...

A new study suggests Venus may have once had a moon that was lost after the planet’s slow rotation pulled the satellite back into its surface. New research published in the Astrophysical Journal suggests that Venus may have once hosted a natural...

Scientists are revisiting the Kola Superdeep Borehole, Earth’s deepest artificial hole, to uncover new geological insights from miles beneath the surface. More than half a century after Soviet engineers first breached the surface of the Kola Peninsula,...

New research may have finally solved the long-standing mystery of why Venus lacks a moon, offering fresh insights into the planet’s chaotic orbital history. For decades, planetary scientists have wrestled with a curious cosmic discrepancy: why does...

Tardigrades, the microscopic ’water bears’, survived space vacuum, extreme cold and intense radiation in lab tests, proving near‑indestructibility. The debate over how life first appeared on Earth has long inspired theories that the cosmos could have...

New space elevator concepts could make a lunar connection possible sooner than expected by rethinking the physics of materials required for construction. Breaking free from Earth’s gravity remains one of the most resource-intensive challenges in space...

A radiation resistant black fungus grew faster on the International Space Station than on Earth, and sensors beneath its biomass recorded fewer ionizing events compared to a control surface. When discussions about life in space arise, most people...

Astronaut Ron Garan reveals how a single, life-changing realization from orbit completely transformed his perspective on our planet and humanity. When viewed from the vantage point of low Earth orbit, the structures that define human existence on the...

Venera 13 survived Venus’s crushing heat and pressure far beyond its 32‑minute design, transmitting data long after the surface threatened to crush it. When the Soviet Venera 13 lander touched down on Venus on 1 March 1982, engineers had anticipated...

New research reveals that Mercury’s ancient volcanoes were fueled by a significantly deeper and hotter interior than scientists previously thought possible. New evidence regarding the geological makeup of Mercury indicates that the planet’s surface is...

NASA is upgrading its deep space network with a new California antenna designed to support an expanding fleet of critical space exploration missions. NASA has officially expanded its reach into the cosmos by bringing a new, high-capacity antenna online...
