Scientists using NASA’s Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory have made an exciting discovery: a black hole that’s continuously consuming a star similar to our Sun. This phenomenon, known as a tidal disruption event, occurs when a star orbits too close to a black hole. The immense gravitational forces from the black hole tear the star apart, […]

Forty-five years after NASA selected its first group of female astronauts, the agency now has 16 active female astronauts who are eligible to become the first woman to walk on the moon. In a recent interview with collectSPACE, Loren Grush, author of “The Six: The Untold Story of America’s First Women Astronauts,” discussed the diverse […]

Spacecraft navigation has come a long way since the days of mariners relying on the stars to guide their ships. Today, spacecraft use advanced technology such as startrackers to determine their position in space. These startrackers utilize telescopes, cameras, and computers to recognize stellar constellations and calculate precise coordinates. At the heart of this technology […]

In a groundbreaking announcement, the European Space Agency (ESA) has welcomed Sławosz Uznański as their newest project astronaut. With an impressive background in space systems engineering and radiation effects research, Sławosz is set to join a future space mission, marking a significant milestone in his career and for the Polish space community. Sławosz’s journey towards […]

The Mitsubishi Heavy Industries H-IIA launch vehicle continues its successful career with the launch of the Smart Lander for Investigating Moon (SLIM) robotic lunar lander and the X-Ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM) X-ray telescope. This marked the 47th flight of the H-IIA, with only three flights remaining before retirement. Originally scheduled for launch on […]

Scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery in solar imaging thanks to a last-minute modification to the Solar Orbiter’s Extreme Ultraviolet Imager (EUI) camera. This modification has allowed the camera to capture images of the Sun’s atmosphere at extreme ultraviolet wavelengths, which were previously impossible to obtain. The new mode of operation, known as the occulter […]

SpaceX has reached a significant milestone in its Starship program as it rolls out Ship 25 to the launch site and stacks it on top of Super Heavy Booster 9. This marks the first fully stacked Starship rocket to be assembled at Starbase since April 20. Ship 25 has undergone several important upgrades and additions […]
