SpaceX also announced its new BFR rocket. The new BFR has the highest capacity payload of any rocket ever built, meaning it has the lowest launch cost, due to its status as a fully reusable rocket while also being the most powerful.
Like Chandrayaan 1 mission, Chandrayaan 2 will also be an example of ISRO’s “frugal engineering” and it will cost a meagre $91 million.
The bowl-shaped ridges in Pluto’s ‘bladed’ or ‘snakeskin’ terrain composed largely of methane ice and are primarily a result of dramatic climate change.
Scientists announced on Wednesday that they have detected a fourth gravitational wave signal coming from the merger of two black holes
Scientists have claimed that the scorching temperatures across Southern Europe – nicknamed ‘Lucifer’ – were made at least ten times more likely by climate change.
Lava tubes - underground caves created by volcanic activity - could provide protected habitats large enough to house streets or even towns on the Moon and Mars
A recent study has revealed that the botanic gardens across the world contain at least 30 per cent of all known plant species, including 41 per cent those which have been classified as “threatened”
Interestingly, the mission of Mangalyaan, the satellite prepared with the lowest cost in history, was planned for just six months but is going strong even at this point
A recent study has found that jellyfish go into a sleep-like state, making them the Earth’s first primitive animals without a brain or central nervous system to do so
Even as the public sightings of the butterflies rose to their highest since 2010, the number of red admirals in Britain soared over the summer despite the wet weather conditions causing problems for other butterflies
The long-standing mystery about the origin of cosmic rays, the high-energy participles that zoom throughout the space, finally seems to have found a solution
Cosmic rays are atomic nuclei that travel through space at speeds close to that of light.
The OSIRIS-REx spacecraft came within 17,237 km of Antarctica at 12.52 pm EDT on Friday, just south of Cape Horn, Chile, before following a route north over the Pacific Ocean.
Many satellites of many other galaxies are actively pumping out new stars, but the Milky Way's satellites are mostly inert, the researchers found.
Understanding its origin and evolution may provide new insights into the early days of the solar system, NASA said
By 2100, human activities will add 310 gigatons of carbon to the world’s oceans, a threshold that could ultimately lead to mass extinction
A study by MIT scientists have predicted that the sixth mass extinction in Earth’s history will be triggered by increasing carbon levels in the oceans and may begin around 2100.
The idea of lifelike robots has moved a step closer to reality with scientists developing a new type of synthetic soft muscle capable of lifting 1,000 times its own weight
Two Pune-based scientists are involved in the discovery of two closest-ever black holes, in a super-massive binary black hole system, which is about 400 million light years from Earth
