NASA Develops a New Electronics That Can Withstand Venus’ Extreme Temperature
If you ever wondered – why scientists are trying to colonizing Mars rather than Venus, then the answer is Venus’ extremely unreceptive atmosphere. The extreme inhospitable climatic and temperature conditions are two of the most challenging factors for the scientists to study Venus – the second planet of solar system. Regardless of numerous advancements in […]
Collision of Moon and Earth Will Turn the Planet into an Ocean of Magma
For now, the only natural satellite of Earth – the Moon is turning away from the planet at a variable speed of 3.8 centimetres per year. But soon the scenario is going to change, as scientists are expecting both celestial bodies to collide with each other someday, resulting in the complete destruction of earth. According […]
Radio Telescope ‘Arecibo Observatory’ Films a Fast-Moving, Peanut-Like Asteroid
The huge Radio Telescope called ‘Arecibo Observatory’, intended for searching radio signals from extraterrestrial lives has filmed a faster-moving, peanut-like space rock. The asteroid called “2015 BN509” is spotted moving at a faster pace in the space. It has an adorable appearance like a massive peanut. Scientists expected it to some-day crash into earth’s atmosphere, […]
Saturn May Be Steering Away Asteroids from Earth: Study
In a first-of-its-kind effort to decipher the conundrum if Jovian bodies protect habitable planets from the harsh impacts catastrophic events, scientists have found “Saturn,” instead of “Jupiter” to be the “hero” of the entire episode. The long-established belief that ‘Jupiter is the “planetary shield” for earth’ is likely to be a moderately correct because a […]
NASA to Join Forces with ESA and Airbus for Its Historical 2021 Manned Orion Mission
