Northrop Grumman will be working for the next year on a new defense against hypersonic weapons.
For the first time, a team of astronomers was able to conduct a detailed and complete observation of an explosive emission by a comet. They were able to study the natural phenomenon using NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS).
A UFO expert claimed that NASA was able to capture images of three alien vessels flying next to its space shuttles in different missions. As indicated in NASA’s database, the alleged vessels were classified as unknown objects.
OrbitsEdge, provider of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Edge micro-data centers, partners up with Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) to help make data more accessible for companies in space.
An expert discussed what would happen to Earth if its gravity suddenly drops by just one percent. According to the expert, the slight change in the Earth’s gravity would cause a series of events that would immediately kill off billions of people and eventually trigger an extinction-level event.
NASA shared a beautiful image of a bright and massive nebula that was left behind by a dying star.
NASA explained how a black hole affected the formation of Earth. The agency also discussed the role of these massive cosmic objects in the formation of galaxies such as the Milky Way.
A video explained what would happen if a star as massive as the Sun enters the Solar System. According to the video, this would trigger a series of catastrophic events that would eventually destroy Earth.
NASA is currently monitoring a massive asteroid that’s expected to approach Earth on Wednesday. According to the agency, the approaching asteroid is almost as big as the Statue of Liberty.
