Technologies for Mars Colonization: How Engineers and Scientists Plan to Terraform the Red Planet for the Future of Humanity

Technologies for Mars Colonization: How ...

Engineers and scientists are developing advanced technologies for Mars colonization, including 3D printing of residential structures and creating an atmosphere suitable for life. These efforts could transform Mars into a habitable planet and bring new technologies that will enhance life on Earth

Dark Matter Astronomical Surveys: Hubble Telescope Reveals Star Dynamics in the Dwarf Galaxy Draco

Dark Matter Astronomical Surveys: Hubble ...

A team of astronomers using the Hubble Telescope has created a three-dimensional model of star motion in the Draco galaxy, bringing us closer to understanding dark matter. Years of observations bring new insights into the evolution of galaxies and the distribution of dark matter.

Galaxies avoid premature death thanks to the "heart and lungs" that regulate their growth and respiration, preventing them from becoming uncontrollable "zombie" galaxies

Galaxies avoid premature death thanks to the ...

New research reveals how galaxies control their own growth and prevent premature death thanks to supermassive black holes that act like hearts, emitting jets of gas and radiation, thereby regulating gas accretion and star growth.

Magnetized lunar vortices on the moon: unraveling the secret of bright highlights and the influence of underground lava on magnetic fields

Magnetized lunar vortices on the moon: ...

Lunar vortices are bright, meandering shapes on the surface of the Moon that remain a mystery to scientists. Recent research reveals that these phenomena are the result of magnetic anomalies caused by underground lava and the influence of solar wind.

Historic splashdowns: Gus Grissom

Historic splashdowns: Gus Grissom's dramatic ...

On 21 July 1961 Gus Grissom has survived one of the most dramatic splashdowns in the history of space exploration. Since then, splashdown has remained the most common way for spacecraft to return to Earth, with the recent successes of SpaceX and its Dragon capsules.

New insights into sub-Neptunes in our galaxy reveal a correlation between planetary density and orbit resonance, according to research from the Universities of Geneva and Bern.

New insights into sub-Neptunes in our galaxy ...

Scientists have found that sub-Neptunes, planets between the size of the Earth and Neptune, show different densities depending on the resonance of their orbits, thus excluding observational biases as the cause, which raises new questions about the formation of planetary systems.
