NASA has growing concerns that the lunar lander version of SpaceX’s Starship vehicle will not be ready in time for the Artemis 3 mission in late 2025.
Starship needs to carry out an uncrewed lunar landing before it transports astronauts to the Moon, but the vehicle has yet to fly to orbit for the first time.
JPL isn't out of the woods, but the internal review board is pleased with the changes made so far.
A solar mission, which has been flying closer to the sun to uncover its secrets, went extremely near to the star's surface to make an important discovery. The data collected by Parker Solar Probe has discovered the source of the solar wind, which is a stream of particles carrying energy that emerges from the corona, or the hot outer atmosphere of the sun, towards the Earth. "It’s like seeing jets of water emanating from a showerhead through the blast of water hitting you in the face," said the researchers at the University of California-Berkley, in a release.
The one-in-a-thousand-year explosion probably represents a class of fainter events that still have brighter afterglows than we thought possible.
Some gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have a tera–electron volt (TeV) afterglow, but the early onset of this has not been observed. We report observations with the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory of the bright GRB 221009A, which serendipitously occurred ...
