NASA has released the first high-resolution images of Earth taken by the Artemis II crew as they pass the halfway point to the Moon. Mission commander Reid Wiseman captured these stunning images after the crew completed a final engine burn, setting them on a trajectory toward our closest celestial neighbor. NASA’s online dashboard showed that the Orion spacecraft was 142,000 miles from Earth and 132,000 miles from the Moon. Astronaut Christina Koch said the crew shared a moment of joy upon...
58 tortillas, five hot sauces and one toilet: life aboard spacecraft Orion
They’re sipping smoothies, snapping phone pics, dealing with crashed email and fixing broken toilets: astronauts, they’re just like us. The four crew members zipping through space toward the Moon are carrying out a mission unlike any before it, but they’re also still muddling on through life’s mundanities — all while they float around together in a square footage equivalent to two minivans. Mission specialist Christina Koch, the first woman to venture into deep space, said preparing for the 10-d...

Optical darkness travels faster than light, scientists say
It is a commonly accepted idea that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light, but this is not entirely accurate. Albert Einstein stated in 1905 that information cannot travel faster than light; however, something that is massless and devoid of information could potentially exceed this cosmic speed limit—such as “darkness” itself. A team of international scientists, led by researchers at the Technion Institute of Technology, did not measure “darkness” or the absen...
Scientists find evidence for theorised gargantuan star explosions
WASHINGTON: A supernova — the explosive death of a star — is always violent, blasting material into space while typically leaving behind a compact stellar remnant like a neutron star or black hole. But some supernovas involving the largest stars in the cosmos may be so immensely powerful they leave absolutely nothing behind. Scientists since the 1960s have theorised the existence of these ultra-powerful supernovas, and have now come up with evidence for them — albeit indirect — in research invol...
