Next generation experimental aircraft becomes NASA’s newest X-Plane. Meet the sustainable X-66A.

NASA's newest X-Plane - the sustainable X-66A

NASA and Boeing announced on Monday that the aircraft created through the agency’s Sustainable Flight Demonstrator project has been given the designation X-66A by the U.S. Air Force.

An international team of astrophysicists has made a new discovery in the center of the Milky Way galaxy. In the 1980s, Farhad Yusef-Zadeh from Northwestern University discovered one-dimensional filaments near Sagittarius A*, the galaxy’s central supermassive black hole. Yusef-Zadeh and his collaborators have now discovered a new population of filaments.

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has detected a water vapor plume from Saturn’s moon, Enceladus that spans over 6,000 miles, which is approximately the distance from Los Angeles, California to Buenos Aires, Argentina.

NASA has chosen Blue Origin of Kent, Washington to create a human landing system for the Artemis V mission to the Moon. The Artemis program aims to expand human exploration of the Moon by uncovering new scientific discoveries and preparing for future astronaut missions to Mars.

The second phase of NASA’s Deep Space Food Challenge concluded with the announcement of eight winning teams who received a total of $750,000 in prizes. These teams will now advance to the third and final phase of the competition.

Astronomers have found a planet outside of our solar system that is the same size as Earth. It is called LP 791-18 d and the scientists believe it may have volcanoes on its surface.

NASA’s second super pressure balloon (SPB) carrying EUSO-2 had a successful launch today and was in flight for more than 24 hours. However, it developed a leak, and as a safety measure, flight controllers decided to terminate the flight over the Pacific Ocean, near New Zealand.

Water on Comet 238P in place where it seems it shouldn’t be Researchers have made a major discovery about the origins of Earth’s water, using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. The telescope’s NIRSpec tool has confirmed that water vapor is present around a comet in the main asteroid belt, suggesting that water ice from the…

The Japanese company ispace was able to communicate with its Hakuto-R spacecraft until just before it was supposed to land on the Moon, according to the company’s founder, Takeshi Hakamada. Approximately 25 minutes after the lander’s scheduled soft touchdown on the lunar surface, communication was lost. This suggests that the lander likely crashed into the…

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has begun to provide new insights into the history of the universe, revealing the formation and assembly of galaxies that were previously beyond our reach. The telescope has confirmed the existence of a protocluster of seven galaxies at a distance of redshift 7.9, or a mere 650 million years after…
