As NASA prepares to land the first woman and the next man on the South Pole of the Moon by 2024 under its Artemis programme and then send humans to Mars, the US space agency wants to hire more astronauts.
The likely presence of hydrothermal vents inside Enceladus could be seen as another phenomenon that contributes to this. At Earth's ocean floor, hydrothermal vents emit hot, energy-rich, mineral-laden fluids that allow unique ecosystems teeming with unusual creatures to thrive.
Instead of habitats made of metal and glass, NASA is exploring technologies that could grow structures out of fungi to become our future homes in the stars, and perhaps lead to more sustainable ways of living on Earth as well.
An Indian-American will be among astronauts who may get a chance to go to the moon or Mars following his graduation from NASA's programme to train astronauts for those missions and the International Space Station.
Wolf moon eclipse: January 10 (Friday) is going to be a wolf moon eclipse night as we approach towards one of the four lunar eclipses in 2020. It is going to be a penumbral (partial) lunar eclipse when the earth will come between Sun and Moon.
We all know that the Earth has its own magnetic field. But have we heard the same for the moon? Not until now. Scientists believe that a lunar magnetic field existed a billion years ago and was twice as strong as the earth's field today.
We've heard of Full Moon, Blood Moon and so on. But Cold Moon? Well this might be a new term for some. More on that in this article,
Chandrayaan-2's Terrain Mapping Camera has captured a three-dimensional (3D) view of a crater on the Moon. The imaged 3D view was posted by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) on Wednesday.
This image presents many interesting facts about the secondary craters of different ages and origins in the lunar south polar region, the space agency said. According to ISRO, the image shows craters of vertical impact and oblique impact on the top-right and bottom-right, respectively.
Chandrayaan-2's IIRS payload has acquired the first illuminated image of the lunar surface, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) said on Thursday. IIRS is designed to measure reflected sunlight from the lunar surface in narrow and continguous spectral channels.
NASA will go live today, as the first woman and man will explore the Moon wearing their spacesuits as part of the international space agency's Artemis program.
The lander of the Chang'e-4 probe and the Yutu-2 rover have resumed work for the 10th lunar day on the far side of the moon after "sleeping" during the extremely cold lunar night.
10 interesting facts: Chandrayaan 2 will make history on Saturday (September 7) as it will join the elite club of nations to carry out soft landing on the surface of the Moon. As the world, including leading space agencies like NASA look to ISRO as it takes a giant leap, read things which you would love to know.
With Chandrayan 2 landing its module Vikram on the surface of moon tonight, everyone seems to be talking about the moon. So we bring to you a list of festivals that remain incomplete without the presence of moon
In a huge disappointment, communications from Chandrayaan-2's Vikram lander to ISRO's ground station was lost before touchdown while the nation eagerly awaited its soft landing on the hitherto unexplored lunar south pole in the early hours of Saturday. Addressing the scientists after the link was snapped, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said: "Nation is proud of you, be courageous."
ISRO officials are tight-lipped ahead of the highly crucial event of the Chandrayaan-2 moon landing on Saturday. The entire nation is on tenterhooks, praying for the successful soft landing of Chandrayaan-2. They are nervous, they are anxious, and they are silent. They are waiting for the final moment to speak volumes of India's scientific prowess with Chandrayaan-2 historic touchdown.
In what will be a historic event for India, Chandrayaan-2 will land on moon's South Pole on September 7, an untouched avenue so far. After a strenuous journey spanning 48 days, Chandrayaan-2 will have this golden touchdown on the lunar surface.
India's second moon mission -- Chandrayaan-2 -- will make landing on the lunar surface on September 7. The moon lander 'Vikram' separated from Chandrayaan-2 orbiter on Monday. On Sunday, Chandrayaan-2 completed its fifth and final manoeuvre and achieved an orbit of 119km x 127km. Before landing on the Moon's South Pole, Chandrayaan-2 has two deorbit manoeuvres of Vikram Lander.
ISRO on Monday released a fresh set of photographs of the surface of the moon and its craters taken by the Terrain Mapping Camera-2 of the Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft.
India's second moon mission 'Chandrayaan-2' left the earth's orbit early on Wednesday, 23 days after being launched, and is moving towards the moon following the successful completion of a crucial manoeuvre by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).
