The largest male specimen of the world’s most venomous arachnid, the Sydney funnel-web spider, has been relocated to the Australian Reptile Park. The spider will contribute to the reptile park’s antivenom program, as its venom will be extracted through milking. Recent rainy and humid weather along Australia’s east coast has created ideal conditions for funnel-web…
For the first time in U.S. history, samples from an asteroid in deep space that were captured by NASA fell to Earth and landed in the Utah desert on Sunday, ending a seven-year journey. The Osiris-Rex spacecraft flew by Earth on Sunday morning, releasing a capsule containing the sample, from nearly 63,000 miles away. Four…
A NASA astronaut now holds the record for the longest U.S. spaceflight after returning to Earth Wednesday, but the feat did not come voluntarily. American Frank Rubio and two Russian cosmonauts were stuck in space for just over a year. The trio landed in a remote area of Kazakhstan, descending in a Soyuz capsule that…
A new compilation of images from NASA’s Perseverance Mars Rover appears to show a dust devil twister dancing across the surface of the red planet, about 2.5 miles away from the six-wheeled geologist. NASA said only the lower portion of the twister was seen moving along the western rim of Mars’ Jezero Crater, on Aug….
NASA’s mission to investigate the metal-rich asteroid “Psyche” has been delayed over the spacecraft’s thrusters, the agency announced last week. The launch of the Psyche spacecraft was pushed back a week, with a new target date of Oct. 12 at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, NASA wrote in a blog post. “The change allows the…
China is preparing to launch a space telescope that, Chinese researchers claim, will surpass the capabilities of NASA’s Hubble telescope, according to a report on LiveScience. The spacecraft, called Xuntian, known as the Chinese Survey Space Telescope or the Chinese Space Station Telescope (CSST), is expected to start scientific operations in 2024. The name “Xuntian” can…
Living in space for months inevitably leads to unforeseen problems, and overcoming them requires adaptability and flexibility, an astronaut aboard the International Space Station told Fox News. “We have had some unexpected challenges in the last couple of weeks,” European Space Agency astronaut Andreas Mogensen said. “We were planning to do two spacewalks that have…
Is it Halloween in outer space? NASA has released X-ray images of a dead collapsed star that looks eerily like the bones of a “ghostly cosmic hand.” The spooky images, released just before Halloween and taken from two of NASA’s X-ray space telescopes, show the remnants of a dead collapsed star that lives on through…
With last year’s undersea volcano injecting massive amounts of water high into the atmosphere, scientists were bracing for a big Antarctica ozone hole this fall. But it didn’t happen. Instead this year’s ozone hole was about average size for the last 20 years, even a bit smaller than 2022’s, according to NASA and the National…
NASA’s Lucy spacecraft, which was launched in October 2021 to research Jupiter’s asteroids, snapped a picture of a smaller asteroid near Mars last week, which presented scientists with a shocking surprise. The asteroid Lucy snapped a picture of is named Dinkinesh, and it turns out the space rock has a dinky moon orbiting it. The…

If humankind is ever to establish long-term bases on the moon, there will be a need for a regular source of food. It is not practical, however, to think you can plant corn or wheat in plain lunar soil in greenhouses on the moon and expect a bumper crop – or any crop at all….
The most distant and oldest black hole ever seen using NASA telescopes may explain how some of the celestial voids in the universe formed, according to the agency’s Chandra X-ray Observatory. A black hole 13.2 billion light-years from Earth was spotted at the center of the UHZ1 galaxy using the Chandra X-ray Observatory and the…
A robotic space chemist could create oxygen on Mars using materials from the planet’s surface, Chinese researchers behind the project say. A refrigerator-sized machine equipped with artificial intelligence and a robotic arm broke down material from five meteorites and analyzed it to identify a chemical formula that creates a substance that can cause oxygen to…
To infinity and beyond? A NASA spacecraft has beamed a near-infrared laser nearly 10 million miles into space breaking new ground for the agency. The laser, which is encoded with test data, was fired from NASA’s Psyche spacecraft and then sent back to Hale Telescope at Caltech’s Palomar Observatory in San Diego County, California, the…
The world’s largest iceberg has moved for the first time in 30 years after finally freeing itself from the ocean floor near Antarctica — and it could end up causing problems for wildlife. Iceberg A23a “calved,” or fell off the greater glacier on the continent, from the western side of the Ronne Ice Shelf and…
Have you ever dreamed of going to space? Well, now part of you can, through NASA’s Message in a Bottle campaign.
