Shanghai and parts of eastern China are preparing to face one of the biggest typhoons in recent years called Muifa, which is expected to bring torrential rains and heavy winds as it passes by.
Boeing Co (BA.N) announced plans to launch its seven-seat spaceship on a test run to the International Space Station in 2015 using Atlas 5 rockets built by its United Launch Alliance venture.
NASA scientists said on Thursday that new evidence indicates that highly salty water may flow on Mars during its summer, which also empowers the possibility of life on the planet. The reason behind the thought that life could be possible in Mars is that compared to ice, liquid water is more likely to sustain life, a fact that stresses the significance of the latest discovery.
"There is a reason we have never gone back to the moon," says the official Apollo 18 Web site.
NASA scientists have discovered new evidence that briny water flows on Mars during its warmest months, raising chances that life could exist on the Red Planet, the space agency said on Thursday.
Scientists announced on Thursday that they saw dark, finger-like features appearing and extending down some Martian slopes during late spring through summer, which fade in the winter and return during next spring.
NASA spacecraft will launch a five-year journey on Friday to conduct a deep examination of the interior of the largest planet in the solar system to see if there is actually a hidden core below the thick atmosphere.
With 70 percent chance of acceptable conditions, noon (EDT) Friday will mark the launch of a NASA spacecraft on its deep probe to Jupiter, on a five-year mission dubbed Juno, with the hope of unfolding the origin and life of the largest planet in the solar system.
Scientists have discovered a new phenomenon on the surface of Mars which can potentially prove that seasonal water, and therefore life, could exist in the Red Planet. This new finding can help scientists big time in their search for life on Mars.
NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter have taken high-resolution photographs of possible flowing water during the warmest months on Mars, when dark, finger-like lines are seen on some Martian slopes. In the middle latitudes of the Planet's southern hemisphere.
The recent discovery of possible salt water on mars could lead to extraterrestrial life on Mars. NASA's Reconnaissance Orbiter release photos of possible flowing water extending onto a rocky slope. The images show dark colored slim streaks flowing down from slopes and crevices. Brown streaks appear and disappear throughout Mars' winter spring and summer seasons. Briny water has been speculated to be flowing during those seasons.
NASA announced Thursday that they've potentially discovered liquid water on the surface of Mars. Researchers are studying satellite images that appear to have the consistency of salty brine water.
NASA scientists have discovered fresh evidence that water is flowing on Mars during its warmest months, raising the likelihood that life could exist on the red planet, the agency said on Thursday.
NASA's possible water discovery could mean there is life on the red planet. However, one prominent scientist disputes that notion.
Mysterious dark lines discovered on Mars by a search algorithm shows indications of flowing water on the surface today. NASA officials also raised the possibility of how life such as micro-organisms could possibly survive in such an environment.
The images of the findings show flows lengthen and darken on rocky equator-facing slopes from late spring to early fall, and the seasonality, latitude distribution and brightness changes suggest a volatile material is involved, but there is no direct detection of one, NASA said.
The latest findings suggest signs of water in lower latitudes of Mars. Previously, it was known that water (in the form of ice) existed at the poles of the planet.
At one Martian crater, McEwen said, about a thousand ?water flows? were identified.
Galileo Galilei, the Roman god Jupiter and his wife Juno are going into space
NASA is tracking the tropical storm Emily as it approaches Haiti and other nations.
In a surprising move on Thursday, Kraft Foods decided to split its company into two different sections: one focusing on candy and one focusing on grocery foods. IBTimes takes a look at where Kraft's most famous brands will be headed.
Scientists believe that they may be able to finally explain why the two sides of the lunar body are so different from each other. A new study published in the journal Nature has suggested that Earth originally had two moons in orbit around it until a second moon flattened itself to the bigger moon more than 4 billion years ago.
