NASA is looking for volunteers to live in its Mars simulation for a year
NASA is looking for volunteers to participate in its second year-long simulated Mars mission called Crew Health and Performance Exploration Analog (CHAPEA 2). The mission will start in spring 2025 and involve 4 crew members living in a 3D-printed 1,700 sq ft habitat at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston for a year. The habitat […]
Intuitive Machines’ moon lander sent home its first images and they’re breathtaking
Intuitive Machines’ lunar lander called Odysseus sent back its first images shortly after separating from its SpaceX rocket on February 16, 2024. The images included a view of Earth, some selfies of the Odysseus lander, and the SpaceX rocket’s second stage falling away in the distance. Odysseus is on a journey to the Moon and […]
A Study Suggests Black Holes Can Create Space Lasers—Just Like Einstein Thought
A new study published on arXiv theorizes that gravitational waves from black holes could propagate through space in the form of “gravitational lasers.” Einstein first proposed gravitational waves in 1916 and the idea of stimulated emission of radiation which is the basis of lasers in 1917. The study suggests gravitational waves could mimic lasers if […]

New Chinese Lander to Start Building Base From Moon Dust Bricks
– China plans to use its upcoming Chang’e 8 lunar mission in 2028 to start constructing structures on the moon’s surface. – The lander will carry equipment to melt moon dust using solar power and compress it into bricks measuring around 16 cubic inches each. – Researchers aim to 3D print a prototype habitat from […]
Vittrup Man’ violently died in a bog 5,200 years ago. Now, researchers know his story
– The remains of “Vittrup Man” were discovered in a peat bog in Denmark in 1915, dating back around 5,200 years ago. – Through detailed analysis of his DNA, teeth, bones and isotopic signatures, researchers were able to piece together his life story. – He was born and grew up along the coast of Scandinavia, […]
We found love up in space: See the hearts captured in the cosmos
– NASA spacecraft and telescopes have discovered naturally occurring formations on celestial bodies that resemble hearts, showing that “space loves us back.” – The Mars Global Surveyor orbiter found mesa and depression features on Mars in the shape of hearts. – Images of asteroid 433 Eros from the NEAR Shoemaker probe revealed a heart-shaped depression […]
Scientists Confirm the Incredible Existence of ‘Second Sound’
– Scientists at MIT have successfully imaged and observed “second sound” propagating through an exotic superfluid quantum gas for the first time. Second sound refers to the phenomenon where heat travels as a wave through such superfluids, rather than spreading out from the source as in normal materials. – Normally heat spreads outward from its […]
