A scientist explained how new observatories, such as NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, can measure the habitability of exoplanets by analyzing the biosignatures of their atmospheres.

NASA’s asteroid tracking system is currently monitoring six space rocks that are currently approaching Earth.

The European Space Agency’s (ESA) vast network of sky-watching cameras has detected a fireball event brighter than Venus over Germany. Based on the appearance and characteristics of the strange fiery object, the ESA believes it was caused by a meteor that hit Earth.

Astronomers from Harvard claimed in a new study that tiny meteors traveling at a fraction of the speed of light could hit Earth. These tiny fragments could reach incredible speeds if they get ejected by supernova events.

The world’s first commercial launch service provider Arianespace successfully deployed its third rocket for the year. The launch of the company’s Ariane 5 rocket was able to send communication and weather satellites from Japan and South Korea into space.

The European Space Agency (ESA) is preparing to launch a new mission that will serve as Earth’s first line of defense against hazardous solar storms from the Sun. The mission involves deploying a satellite in a specific location in space between the Earth and the Sun.

A total of five asteroids will approach Earth tomorrow, according to NASA, As indicated in the agency’s database, all of the approaching space rocks belong to groups of asteroids that are known to intersect Earth’s orbit.

Scientists recently made a key discovery that could explain the atmospheric conditions of Titan, which is Saturn’s largest moon. According to the scientists, cosmic rays coming from beyond the Solar System are affecting the chemical process in the natural satellite’s atmosphere.

NASA is currently monitoring two asteroids that are expected to approach Earth tomorrow. One of the approaching asteroids is almost as big as a pyramid and could cause an impact event on Earth if it collides with the planet.

Residents of Arizona reported seeing a bright streak of light in the sky, followed by a loud noise on Sunday. Based on eyewitness reports, it is believed that an asteroid hit Earth and exploded over the state.

A team of astronomers released a new study explaining how satellite constellation projects such as SpaceX’s Starlink are harming ground-based astronomy. This is the latest move by astronomers to criticize the effects of thousands of satellites in low-Earth orbit.

NASA’s asteroid tracking system has detected three near-Earth objects that are expected to approach the planet tomorrow. According to the agency’s Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS), the approaching asteroids all have Earth-crossing orbits.

NASA’s asteroid tracking system is currently monitoring two space rocks that will visit Earth’s vicinity this weekend.

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope was able to snap a photo of a nebula created by a dying star’s explosion.

NASA reported that it has detected a near-Earth asteroid that has the potential to hit Earth almost 470 times.

A cybersecurity expert warned how vulnerable orbiting satellites are to getting hacked. Once this happens, these robotic spacecraft could be used to carry out attacks on Earth and space-based facilities such as the International space station.

An asteroid collided with Earth recently and created a bright daytime fireball over Calgary, Alberta in Canada.

According to a new study, the chances of alien life existing on Saturn’s Earth-like moon Titan is very unlikely due to a certain important factor.

A space weather forecasting site reported that a hole in the Sun’s atmosphere is currently facing Earth.

A potentially hazardous asteroid that’s big enough to trigger a nuclear winter and mass extinction events on Earth following a collision will intersect the planet’s path this weekend.

A scientific video explained what would happen to Earth if the strongest natural magnet in the universe suddenly enters the Solar System. According to the video, the presence of a nearby magnetar could wipe out all life on Earth by affecting atoms or ripping apart the Earth’s ozone layer.
