  Moscow (Sputnik) Nov 06, 2018 Russian space agency Roscosmos is planning to explore the possibility to 3D print details made of lunar soil in order to use them for space hardware repairs on the Moon, Dmitry Rogozin, Roscosmos chief, told Sputnik on Sunday. "We need powder to be able to use additive technologies. And we want to understand if it is possible to make powder that can be baked and then used for the creation of certain constructions out of the lunar soil," Rogozin said. He specified that these constructions wou ... read more |

 Boston MA (SPX) Nov 06, 2018 
If extraterrestrial intelligence exists somewhere in our galaxy, a new MIT study proposes that laser technology on Earth could, in principle, be fashioned into something of a planetary porch light - a beacon strong enough to attract attention from as far as 20,000 light years away.
The research, which author James Clark calls a "feasibility study," appears in The Astrophysical Journal. The ... more |

 Jackson MS (SPX) Nov 06, 2018  The presence of water on Mars has been theorized for centuries. Early telescopes revealed ice caps, and early astronomers noted channels that were hypothesized to be natural rivers or creature-created canals. Over the past two decades, rovers Sojourner, Spirit, Opportunity, and Curiosity have sent back invaluable data to scientists who are trying to interpret the planet's surface and uncover evidence of past or present water. Since its landing on the "Red Planet" in August of 2012, Curiosity Rover has traveled about 20 kilometers within Gale Crater. ... more |

As you walk away from a campfire on a cool autumn night, you quickly feel colder. The same thing happens in outer space. As it spins, the sun continuously flings hot material into space, out to the furthest reaches of our solar system. This material, called the solar wind, is very hot close to the sun, and we expect it to cool quickly as it streams away.
Satellite observations, however, sh ... more |
