Researchers with the European Space Agency has announced that after about seven years orbiting Mars, its Mars Express satellite has stumbled on a rare find — an ancient Martian lake.

The quest of Amazon chief Jeff Bezos, one of the richest man on this planet, to reach for the stars will continue despite suffering a setback recently when an unmanned rocket funded by the billionaire went out of control during its test flight and had to be destroyed.

As a blow to commercial space programs, an unmanned spacecraft privately funded by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos crashed during a test flight, said the billionaire CEO on Friday.

It's high time to clean up the space otherwise the growing amount of space junk around Earth could prove dangerous for not only satellites, but also manned spacecrafts. This is the warning that the National Research Council has given to NASA in a report released on Thursday.

The amount of space debris floating around Earth has touched the “tipping point,” as per a report released by the National Research Council, which will be putting into danger the safety of operational satellites and spacecraft from NASA and other space agencies.

The European Space Agency's Mars Express satellite has been orbiting Mars since around 2003, but it has just stumbled on a rare find that scientists believe is a glimpse into wetter days on the Red Planet. The satellite found evidence that a huge crater on Mars was once a water-filled lake, and ESA said the rare find was revealed by the presence of a delta, which is an ancient fan-shaped deposit of dark sediments, laid down in water.

An unmanned spacecraft financed by Amazon.com Inc. CEO Jeff Bezos failed during a test flight last week. The experimental suborbital space vehicle was developed by Blue Origin, a space startup founded by Amazon.com chief Jeff Bezos.

During a developmental test, the spacecraft funded by the Amazon chief, Jeff Bezos, misfired and crashed at an altitude of 45,000 feet in West Texas.

The new movie Apollo 18 about a cover up of a failed mission to the moon is not real, says NASA.

Oil and an oil sheen covering several square miles of water are surfacing near the site of last year's BP Macondo Well disaster, prompting concerns that the well might not be plugged as Tropical Storm Lee gathers strength.

Opportunity, the resilient Mars rover that has been exploring the planet for seven years now, recently arrived at the massive Endeavour crater and discovered rocks that hint at an ancient water source and a once warmer plant.

Space debris has touched the “tipping point,” as per a report released by the National Research Council, which appealed to NASA to find methods of monitoring in a better manner as well as cleaning up the orbiting junk which could be ominous for active satellites and manned spacecraft.

The Japanese branch of Domino's, which announced opening a new branch on the moon, has made many claims on its Web site dedicated to the new venture. However, when it comes to finding the base for its pizza joint on Earth's only known natural satellite, it has nothing major which can back the announcement as a proper business plan.

Headed towards the Shikoku and Hiroshima regions of the Japan archipelago, Typhoon Talas is the 5th typhoon of the 2011 Pacific Typhoon season.

NASA's Mars Exploration Robotic Rover Opportunity has reached the Red Planet's Endeavour crater, and the first rock it examined itself is creating waves among astronomers.

Nobody on the road, nobody on the beach; you can feel it at the box office, the summer's out of reach.

The amount of space junk currently in the orbit has reached a threshold where it increases the danger of possible collision with active satellites and manned spacecraft. NASA needs to find ways to clean up the orbital debris, says a report by the National Research Council released on Thursday.

In an effort to explore how robots can help humans experiment and live in space more efficiently, NASA sent two Android-powered Nexus S phones on the last manned space shuttle Atlantis as part of the STS-135 mission.

Space debris orbiting the earth is becoming increasingly hazardous, researchers warn, with junk posing increasing danger to astronauts and space missions.
