Future of Commercial Space Flight
TITUSVILLE, Florida - The first commercial SpaceX commercial aircraft comes after a successful launch at the Kennedy Space facility on Sunday night. Crew Dragon Capture will now go to the International Space Station with its first official astronauts: Michael Hopkins of NASA, Victor Glover and Shannon Walker, and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency astronaut Shoichi Noguchi. The plane follows a recent SpaceX exploration in May when Americans Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley return to space on an American plane.

How old is the universe?
The Messier 69 global collection is very unusual because it is old, with indications that it forms only 5% of the current universe (13 billion years ago).

Travelling across the Universe at the Speed of Light
Light is a form of energy, an electromagnetic radiation which is the fastest traveling entity. It travels at a baffling speed of 299,792,458 m/s. This is fast enough to travel around the earth over 7 times in a single second. The fastest humans have ability to travel across space is 587,000 km/h, which is attained by the recently launched Parker Solar Probe, which is currently revolving around the sun. This is a measly 0.0005433333 times the speed of light. This is enough to travel to the moon and back in close to an hour and 20mins. Though the light from moon travels to earth in less than 2.5 seconds.

Can we live on other planets?
The idea of life on other planets has always been a mystery to science. Currently, Earth is the only planet where human beings survive. There is less to no probability of human beings to survive on any other planets with help of no special equipment. On the other hand, if the star were too hot, radiation would quickly disperse the solar nebula, leaving smaller planets with no atmosphere or system of millions of tiny asteroids. If it were too cold, the protoplanet's atmosphere would not be destroyed, which could lead to the formation of a planet system similar to Jupiter, but much larger and much larger. If the formation of planetary systems and the decline of astronomical rotation are the result of the presence of solar nebulae, then the hot stars that disperse their solar nebulae and do not form planets should be expected to orbit rapidly.

Elon Musk and China: Where's the Beef?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but does it make sense to you, that a private citizen - any private citizen, can potentially cause this country to come that much closer to the brink of war?

Titaness
‘She’s out there again,’ Maria said. Julien sat at the table behind her as she looked out of the large, semi-circular window that occupied one side of the room. Their apartment sat atop a towering, cylindrical block that droned quietly each day as it worked hard to mimic Earth’s gravity within. It sat near the centre of activity on Saturn’s satellite, Titan, and Maria was not able to shake the feeling of being always on display.

2021 was a colossal year for space investigation. 2022 could be much greater.
The year 2021 will likely go down in the archives of room history as a defining moment, a second when conventional residents began leaving Earth consistently. Numerous groups took off on a few diverse space apparatus, and for a short second this month, there were a record 19 individuals in the weightless climate of the room — and eight of them were private residents.

James Wabb Space Telescope
Unlike Hubble, which enters and exits the Earth's shadow every 90 minutes, Webb will have an unmistakable vision that will allow scientific work to be done 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. As it will always be in the same position concerning the Earth, in the sky at midnight. about 1.5 million miles from there, we can have regular contact with it as the Earth orbits a deep space network (DSN) using three large earth horns found in Australia, Spain and California. Data will be transmitted from JWST to Earth via NASA's extensive space network, processed and rated at STScI, and distributed online to astronomers around the world.

Leonids, the Most Anticipated Meteor Shower of the Year!
We all know the classic story about the wishes that come true if they are uttered the moment we see a shooting star. Don't you have a lot of desires and want to see at least one star so that you can hope that you can fulfill at least one dream?

Asteroid to Enter Earth's Orbit, is a Disaster on the Horizon?
It seems that every few weeks, I see a terrifying headline (much like the one for this article) that reads something like, "Gigantic and Potentially Hazardous Asteroid to Enter Earth's Orbit." Heart pounding, with a queasy feeling in my stomach, I click every time, and every time it's nothing to worry about. However, the Earth has been hit before and likely will again. So, when should we worry?

Why does Einstein's hypothesis of general relativity breezes through perhaps its hardest evaluation yet?
General relativity has withstood maybe its hardest test to date. The hypothesis, which Albert Einstein distributed in 1916, upset our comprehension of material science and the universe. It clarifies gravity as a result of room time's adaptability: Massive articles twist space-time, making miseries around which different bodies circle.

The Fascinating Planets in Our Solar System
Outer space! Astronomy is one of the sciences that has always fascinated me. The planets, the stars all contained in our Milky Way galaxy, the mysteries of what lies beyond our universe, past Pluto. Outer space is full of so many fascinating and infinite wonders.
