NASA’s TEMPO mission has begun providing the first hourly, high-resolution air quality data across North America from geostationary orbit. The instrument tracks pollutants like nitrogen dioxide and ozone, allowing researchers…
A research team at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia has identified mitochondrial dysfunction as a central biological driver for the health risks associated with spaceflight. By analyzing data from dozens…
Researchers have confirmed the existence of a large underground cave on the Moon using radar data from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. Located in the Mare Tranquillitatis, the cave is a…
A study by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers found that long-term exposure to microgravity causes the human heart to shrink and atrophy. Even with regular exercise, the lack of gravitational…
NASA's Lucy mission discovered that the asteroid Dinkinesh is actually a complex binary system, featuring a smaller moonlet that is itself a contact binary. This unexpected finding provides new insights…
Researchers at Mount Sinai have discovered that spaceflight can lead to somatic mutations in the blood-forming stem cells of astronauts. These mutations, known as clonal hematopoiesis, were found at higher-than-expected…
Researchers analyzing seismic data from NASA's InSight lander have discovered evidence of a massive liquid water reservoir deep within the Martian crust. Located between 7 and 13 miles underground, the…
Sierra Space successfully conducted a full-scale burst test of its Large Integrated Flexible Environment (LIFE) habitat, proving the structural integrity of inflatable space modules. The test demonstrated that the soft-goods…
NASA is revamping the Artemis program to fix long flight gaps and reduce mission risks through a new, disciplined schedule. Administrator Jared Isaacman announced that the Artemis III mission will…
