They are “potentially dangerous” objects, according to official parameters. NASA assured that two asteroids will pass close to Earth in May. They are classified as “potentially dangerous” objects due to their proximity to the planet, although for now, they are not in real danger. Asteroid 438908 (2009 XO) has a diameter of between 210 and […]

A new species of green viper was named “Salazar’s Viper” (Trimeresurus salazar) in honor of Salazar Slytherin, a character from the fictional world of Harry Potter. The reptile was discovered during an expedition to Arunachal Pradesh, one of the states of India, points to a study led by the National Center for Biological Sciences in […]

NASA, with support from scientists at the University of Central Lancashire, published an investigation into the Sun’s magnetic plasma strands in The Astrophysical Journal, something never seen before. The images are courtesy of High-Resolution Coronal Imager, also known as Hi-C, as they obtained photographs of structures of the corona of the Sun’s atmosphere, with 70 […]

In 2016, one of the PAN STARRS Observatory telescopes spotted a supernova so bright that it far surpassed its own galaxy, located 3.6 billion light-years from Earth. After more in-depth reviews, made possible by Hubble, the Keck and Gemini observatories (Hawaii), and the MDM and MMT observatories (Arizona), it ultimately turned out that the object, […]

If you ever wondered what the International Space Station will be like, what are they doing at NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center in California? How would it feel to go in SOFIA, the ship that explores the stratosphere? In short, if those childhood dreams of being an astronaut don’t stop hanging around your head, this […]

NASA estimates that by the end of this month, the 1998 OR2 asteroid will pass very close to our planet’s orbit. They ensure that there is no opportunity for the collision. NASA reported that on April 29 a large asteroid will fly very close to the orbit of planet Earth. However, the Aeronautics and Space […]

NASA completes the DART Mission, scheduled for July 2021, which studies the feasibility of kinetic impact deflection of asteroids, a technique that could prevent a dangerous asteroid from impacting Earth by changing the motion of the star in space. Although the probability of an asteroid hitting Earth is low according to NASA predictions, the US […]

NASA announced this Friday, March 27, 2020, the award to the company SpaceX, owned by billionaire Elon Musk, of the first contract to deliver cargo, experiments and other supplies to its mission The Gateway, with which it seeks to put astronauts into lunar orbit in 2022. This was announced by NASA in a statement in […]

NASA reported that six asteroids will pass close to Earth this week and that one of them is of considerable size. This stellar object is almost 400 meters wide and if it were to deviate from its orbit it could be considered dangerous, as it exceeds its size similar to that of the Empire State […]

Two extremely rare white giraffes were recently killed in northeast Kenya, presumably by poachers, according to environmentalists. There were only three in Kenya; there is only one left today. The bodies of two extremely rare white giraffes (a female and her baby born in summer 2019) were indeed found yesterday (March 10) by forest rangers […]
