NASA to announce astronauts for Artemis II Mission On Tuesday|Oneindia News

NASA is set to announce the four astronauts who will be part of the Artemis 2 mission on Monday, April 3.

After the success of the Artemis 1 mission, NASA is going full steam ahead on its path to putting humanity back on the Moon.

With the uncrewed Artemis 1 mission, NASA had tested the foundations of Its new human space exploration capabilities, including the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket, Orion spacecraft, and all associated ground systems. Artemis 2 will be the first crewed mission to test these.

During the 10-day-long mission, the four astronauts will fly around the Moon to test and stress Orion’s life-support systems to make sure that it is capable of supporting astronauts to live and work in deep space.

LP 791-18 D: Canada researchers claims to discover new, fiery exoplanet strewn with volcanoes [Video]

LP 791-18 D: Canada researchers claims to discover new, fiery exoplanet strewn with volcanoes

Astronomers have found an Earth-size planet that isn’t like Earth at all. Instead, the exoplanet, called LP 791-18 D, is likely covered in volcanoes and may experience eruptions with the same frequency as Jupiter’s moon Io, the most volcanically active place in our solar system, according to researchers. Data from NASA’s planet-hunting Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, the retired Spitzer Space Telescope and ground-based telescopes was used to find the exoplanet. A study detailing the findings was published Wednesday in the journal Nature. LP 791-18 d is located about 90 light-years from Earth in the Crater constellation, where it orbits a small red dwarf star. #Lp79118d #NASA #exoplanet ~PR.153~ED.155~GR.125~HT.96~

NASA terminates Lunar Flashlight mission after failing to fix propulsion issues | Oneindia News

NASA has decided to end one of its crucial missions. After months of trying to salvage its lunar cubesat, NASA is calling an end to its water-hunting mission. The organization is finally giving up on its tiny water-hunting cubesat, officially named the Lunar Flashlight mission after failing to fix its propulsion issues. NASA engineers had has until the end of April to generate the required to conduct monthly flybys of the lunar South Pole. Lunar Flashlight’s miniaturized propulsion system was the first of its kind to be flown beyond Earth’s orbit as a demonstration of a new technology. It was highly successful from the standpoint of being a testbed for new systems that had never flown in space before. The briefcase-sized satellite was launched in December 2022 on a mission to shine infrared light on some of the Moon’s permanently shadowed areas…scanning the lunar South Pole for ice water reservoirs. Shortly after launch, however, the cubesat began experiencing problems with its propulsion system. Three of the Lunar Flashlight’s four thrusters were underperforming due to obstructed fuel lines…most likely due to debris buildup. #Lunarflashlight #NASA #NASAspacemission ~PR.153~ED.102~GR.124~HT.178~

NASA's WEBB Telescope Reveals Evidence of Massive Collision Around Nearby Star

NASA's WEBB Telescope Reveals, Evidence of Massive Collision , Around Nearby Star. 'The Guardian' reports that astronomers have discovered an enormous cloud of dust surrounding one of the brightest and closest stars in the night sky. . Approximately 25 light years from Earth, the star known as Fomalhaut appears as part of the Piscis Austrinus, or the southern fish, constellation. Images previously captured by NASA's Hubble space telescope and other instruments were only able to provide a partial picture of Fomalhaut's cloud of cosmic material. 'The Guardian' reports that new images provided by the James Webb space telescope have revealed exciting details of the star's surroundings. . What we see is the dust produced in collisions between planetesimals, which themselves are the long forgotten remnants of the formation of the planetary system itself, András Gáspár, Lead author on the study at the University of Arizona, via 'The Guardian'. András Gáspár, lead author on the study at the University of Arizona, says the team discovered that Fomalhaut has an inner asteroid belt surrounded by a second ring of rubble. Surrounding these first two asteroid belts is a third ring of debris that resembles our own solar system's Kuiper belt. . 'The Guardian' reports that the team believe this massive dust cloud was produced by a collision between two 400-mile-wide space rocks. The team believe that unseen planets are circling within Fomalhaut's nested belts, determining the shape of the star system with their gravitational fields. . Planets as low in mass as Neptune are sufficient to carve the inner belts, 'Spatially resolved imaging of the inner Fomalhaut disk using JWST/MIRI' authors, via 'Nature Astronomy'

Date set for trial of first of 3 Russian missile scientists accused of treason | Oneindia News

The first of the three Russian hypersonic missile scientists to be arrested on suspicion of treason will go on trial next week in a case which apparently involves accusations of betraying secrets to foreign adversaries. The criminal case against Anatoly Maslov, 76, will open in Saint Petersburg’s city court on June 1. The St. Petersburg City Court also ruled on May 24 that Maslov's detention would be extended until at least November 10. Soon after his arrest, authorities had flown him to Moscow and put him in pre-trial detention in Lefortovo prison…a former KGB interrogation site where Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich is also being held. The details of the case are classified, but some local media reports cited sources close to scientific circles as saying that the three scholars are suspected of handing information related to their research to China. #Russiascientisttreason #russianmissile #russia #russianarmy #russiaukrainewar ~PR.153~HT.99~ED.103~

Multiple Interstellar Objects Have Visited Our Solar System, Study Suggests

Multiple Interstellar Objects , Have Visited Our Solar System, , Study Suggests. In 2017, astronomers identified the first-ever Interstellar Object (ISO), dubbed Oumuamua, traveling through our solar system. ScienceAlert reports that Comet 2I Borisov became the second ISO to enter our solar system in August 2019. A new study suggests that many ISOs have likely visited in the past. Some may have even been captured in solar orbits around our sun. Interstellar objects present a unique mechanism to investigate the formation and evolution of planetary systems including our own, 'Close Encounters of the Interstellar Kind: Exploring the Presence of Interstellar Objects in Near Earth Orbit,' via ScienceAlert . ScienceAlert reports that ISOs offer astronomers insight into how other solar systems form and evolve. According to the paper's authors, ISOs offer an opportunity to "… investigate the formation and evolution of planetary systems, including our own.". The team found that the Earth, Moon and Jupiter create a capture cross-section that dominates , "the capture of interstellar objects into near-Earth orbits by a factor of 104 compared to that of Earth-Moon.".

'Da Vinci Glow': Know the rare phenomenon that will cast an eerie glow over the moon | Oneindia News

A ghostly shine is predicted to appear on the moon glowing on the edge of the lunar body. A lunar phenomenon called the "Da Vinci glow" which lights up the unlit side of the moon, is expected to be visible from Earth this week and over the coming weekend. It is named after Italian polymath Leonardo da Vinci, who explained the phenomenon for the first time in the 15th century. This process is a faint glow of the moon's shadowed "dark" side due to sunlight reflecting off the Earth’s surface and back onto the moon. This dull glow is visible only on a slim crescent lunar surface when the moon is close to the horizon during both the last few days and the first few days of its orbit around the Earth. During this time, the Earth's Northern or Southern Hemisphere tilts towards the Moon enabling sea ice and clouds to bounce an exceptional amount of sunlight towards the dark parts of the lunar surface. This sunlight reflected by our planet is termed ‘Earthshine’, and it will render an eerie glow to the Moon. #DaVinciGlow #MoonGlow #Space ~PR.153~HT.99~ED.155~
