NASA has unveiled a range of futuristic and visionary technologies that could be used in future space missions.
A new paper examining the technical aspects of a planetary defense system says yes: we can save the Earth from an asteroid.
Space exploration continues to produce enormous innovations. Scientists are close to discovering whether there is life in the universe beyond Earth.
Water on earth and other celestial bodies? It (also) comes from the sun in 'isotopic' form. The thesis can help space exploration.
A study of the second closest planet to the sun shows that the presence of water within the mantle may be a constant there and elsewhere.
If current space missions already make us dream, think of the visionary projects that NASA has in the pipeline for the future. Here are 4.
NASA will attempt to crash a spacecraft into an asteroid to redirect it.
Research on asteroids in our solar system detects celestial bodies with complex organic matter that simply shouldn't be there.
Last week, space agencies simulated the impact of an asteroid to figure out what response to organize. Here's how it went.
NASA is developing a simulation that will take place in 5 days to assess the response of agencies and governments to the impact of an asteroid with the Earth.
There is no shortage of existential threats to life on Earth. How could a modern Noah's Ark be to save our species?
An all-metal asteroid, Psyche 16, is the next target of a NASA mission that is entering the final stage of development.

The asteroid "with the mask" 1998 OR2 will pass close to the Earth tomorrow, 12 pm Italian time. We won't see him with the naked eye (and thank goodness), but here's a photo of him, and where to see him online.
Precise research reveals: if there is life on Europa or Enceladus it is not like ours. In any case, we'll find out soon enough.
Asteroid JF1 is as large as the pyramid of Ghiza and is pointing a little towards us. We'll know later. Estimated date: May 6, 2022. The Mayans have nothing to do with it.
