New Jupiter photos from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope show rainbow auroras, enormous storms, and distant galaxies. Something scientists were surprised by and not expecting at all.
This Thursday, August 11, 2022, will see the final supermoon of the year. August’s full moon, also known as the “Sturgeon Moon,” peaks on Thursday at 9:36 p.m. EDT (0:136 a.m. GMT on Friday), however, it will also be bright and full on Wednesday and Friday nights (August 10 and Aug. 12).
On Saturday night, August 6, India’s brand-new rocket successfully launched for the first time, but due to a sensor problem, it was unable to place its satellite payloads into the desired orbit.
On August 29, 2022, NASA will launch Artemis 1, the first space mission back to the Moon since Apollo in 1972.
On Wednesday, August 3, the Earth’s magnetic field is expected to be hit by fast solar winds coming from a “hole” in the sun’s atmosphere, which will cause a mild G-1 geomagnetic storm.
If you ever heard about the ‘Ingenuity’ helicopter then fine, but if you didn’t, then let us tell you that it’s a small helicopter sent by NASA to Mars along with the ‘Perseverance’ rover. Though its main purpose was to just test the idea of ‘helicopter working on Mars’, unexpectedly it performed so well in all areas that NASA considers replacing rovers with helicopters in the next Mars missions.
The US may have imposed economic sanctions against Russia over the war in Ukraine, but in space, the two countries are finding ways to continue working together. NASA and Roscosmos have signed a long-awaited agreement to swap seats on flights to the International Space Station. The agreement will ensure that both the US- and the Russian-operated segments of the station will never be unmanned in case of canceled flights or other emergencies.
On July 11, 2022, President Joe Biden revealed an image at the White House alongside Vice President Kamala Harris and NASA officials. Dubbed “Webb’s First Deep Field,” it is the first full-color image from the $10 billion observatory that launched into space last year, and the highest-resolution infrared view of the universe yet captured.
China might be contemplating a “takeover” of the Moon as part of its military space program and Chinese astronauts are busy learning how to destroy other nations’ satellites, NASA chief Bill Nelson claimed. In 2035, he said that Beijing could have its Moon station completed and be able to begin experimentation a year later.
NASA’s CAPSTONE mission, which will chart a new orbit around the moon that will hopefully be used for a future crewed lunar space station, is underway after a successful launch on Tuesday morning. Rocket Lab’s Electron launch vehicle delivered the CAPSTONE satellite, which is roughly the size of a large microwave oven, to Earth orbit for step one of its lunar journey.
Very soon, humanity will get to view the deepest images of the universe that have ever been captured. In two weeks, the $10 billion James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) — NASA’s super expensive, super-powerful deep-space optical imager — will release its first full-color images, and agency officials today suggested that they could just be the beginning.
