New York (AP) — A team of scientists has captured the most detailed images yet of the sun’s surface, revealing a rugged and dynamic facade. It is dangerous to look directly at the sun without eye protection. However, researchers were able to examine the scorching surface with the help of the Daniel K. Inouye Solar […]
On Wednesday, a SpaceX rocket carrying lunar landers collided with the moon, aligning with scientists’ predictions after drifting off course for an extended period. Although the 5,400 mph (8,700 kph) impact wasn’t directly observed, astronomers in Chile recorded a debris plume from the collision using a telescope. Experts in space tracking anticipated this outcome, considering […]
Scientists have presented the clearest video ever obtained of the sun’s surface, recorded at a wavelength of 416 nanometers. This video supports existing theories regarding solar surface phenomena. Released on August 5, 2026, the video offers a unique glimpse into the sun’s turbulent surface, showcasing vortex-like formations in staggering detail. The resolution achieved is comparable […]
The upper stage of a rocket launched by SpaceX last year is predicted to crash into the moon’s surface early Wednesday. This unintentional impact will create another crater on the moon, which already bears marks from various natural and human-made objects. The rocket part, originally intended for a lunar lander mission, was left in a […]

Before Apollo 11 landed on the moon in 1969, David Bowie sang about “Major Tom,” an astronaut who drifted into the unknown. Contrastingly, my family sings a joyful tune—our astronaut, Chris Williams, has returned to Earth. Chris landed Sunday morning in Kazakhstan after an astonishing journey of 102 million miles, spanning eight months on the […]
By July 26, 2026, at 7:35 AM EDT, two Russian cosmonauts and a NASA astronaut concluded a 241-day mission on the International Space Station (ISS). Their journey back to Earth involved a controlled descent, landing safely in Kazakhstan. Sergey Kud-Sverchkov, Sergey Mikaev, and NASA’s Chris Williams departed the station using the Soyuz MS-28/74S spacecraft at […]
America’s historic achievement of landing astronauts on the moon stands as a pinnacle of human exploration. This extraordinary feat began over half a century ago with Apollo 11. Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to set foot on another world, landing on the moon’s Sea of Tranquility on July 20, 1969. This […]
