NASA’s Artemis 2 mission is currently moving towards the Earth after the successful lunar flyby. The astronauts were given some time off on Tuesday to recover after spending hours observing and making notes about the lunar surface. On Wednesday, the crew was back to conducting tests, including demonstrating manual piloting of the Orion spacecraft, named Integrity.

New results from COSINE-100 and ANAIS-112 show no signal matching the DAMA experiment claim, weakening evidence for dark matter detection and shifting focus toward new search strategies.

The Vera Rubin Observatory has discovered over 11,000 new asteroids within weeks of early observations. The findings highlight its ability to rapidly map the solar system and improve tracking of near-Earth objects for planetary defence.

NASA’s Artemis II created history on Monday, as the mission crew completed the lunar flyby. With this, the four astronauts became the first humans to see the far side of the Moon directly. Additionally, the crew also set the record for travelling the farthest distance from the Earth, breaking the previous record, which had remained untouched since 1970.

A new theory called Quadratic Quantum Gravity extends General Relativity to extreme energies, removing the Big Bang singularity and predicting testable gravitational wave signals from the early universe.

Astronomers have discovered that fast-spinning pulsars emit radio waves far beyond their magnetic poles, reaching the edges of their magnetic fields. The finding challenges long-held theories and could help scientists discover more pulsars and improve gravitational wave detection.

Netflix will offer live coverage of the Artemis II lunar flyby. Viewers in India can watch live starting 10:30pm IST today (April 6). It will also be streamed via the NASA+, Amazon Prime, Apple TV, Hulu, Netflix, HBO Max and Roku starting at 1:00pm Eastern Time, alongside the agency's coverage on its YouTube channel. During the lunar flyby, Orion is set to break t...

Rocket Lab launched two Celeste satellites for the European Space Agency, testing a new low Earth orbit layer for the Galileo navigation system to deliver stronger, more reliable navigation signals worldwide.

Using data from Gaia mission and NASA Exoplanet Archive, scientists identified 45 rocky planets in habitable zones. These worlds, including TRAPPIST-1 e and Proxima b, are prime targets in the search for extraterrestrial life.

NASA made history on Wednesday after successfully launching the Artemis 2 mission, which is carrying four astronauts to a lunar flyby. This is the first time in the 21st century that NASA has attempted a crewed mission, more than 50 years after the Apollo 17 mission in 1972. During the initial phase, the spacecraft flew around Earth a couple of times to build up momen...
