Hubble Space Telescope is one of the most talked about telescopes these days. The latest images from the telescope conclude that the bright red supergiant star Betelgeuse “blew its top” in 2019, shedding a significant amount of its visible surface and releasing a massive Surface Mass Ejection (SME). Let’s learn more about it!

NASA is launching two more mini helicopters to Mars to bring Martian rocks and soil samples back to Earth for study as part of its Mars exploration project. According to NASA’s mission plan, the Perseverance rover will serve a dual purpose by delivering the cache to the rocket that will take them off the red planet in ten years.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has a number of space missions planned for the next few years, all of which will explore various areas of outer space and expand mankind’s knowledge of the world beyond Earth. Following the historic Apollo 11 mission, which sent the first humans to the moon in 1969, NASA is planning another mission to the lunar surface, dubbed Artemis 1. The United States space agency’s new lunar mission is set to be iconic in a different way.

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is an infrared space observatory launched on Dec 25, 2021, as the most powerful telescope ever launched into space. This amazing telescope offers improved infrared resolution and sensitivity that further permits it to view objects too old, distant, or faint. It is expected to help astrophysicists study some of the earliest galaxies and cosmic bodies. The JWST development is led in collaboration with ESA and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA).Â

Scientists for many years now have been discovering various stars and planets that are scattered around the galaxy. To say the least, each one is unique in its own self, but, what if we were to tell you that one found very recently is truly special.
Scientists have found a set of six planets orbiting in almost perfect harmony around the star HD 158259. HD 158259 is almost the same mass and a litter larger than the Sun, which in itself is a minority in our exoplanet hunts. Read on to know more.
