NASA's Deep Space Optical Communications (DSOC) technology, demonstrated aboard the Psyche spacecraft, has achieved a groundbreaking milestone by successfully transmitting engineering data over 140 million miles using optical communication. Although Psyche primarily uses radio frequency for data transmission, this feat showcases the potential of optical communication for future missions, including sending humans to Mars ..read more

A new model could explain the "cosmic glitch" at the edge of the expanding universe, where gravity weakens by about a per cent, according to new research. The widely accepted model of gravity comes from Einstein's theory of general relativity, which has been confirmed through multiple tests and experiments ..read more

Astronomer Frederick Walter suggests gamma-ray bursts could have exterminated extraterrestrial civilizations, potentially explaining the lack of contact with alien life. Despite the threat, Earth's chances of being hit are low due to the rare, directed nature of GRBs ..read more

A recent study has shed light on the origin of the near-Earth asteroid known as Kamo’oalewa, revealing that it likely originated from the Giordano Bruno crater on the moon's far side. This discovery marks the first time astronomers have traced a potentially hazardous asteroid back to a specific lunar crater, offering new perspectives on the dynamics between Earth and its celestial neighbor ..read more

New research has presented compelling evidence for the existence of a hypothetical 'Planet Nine' in the outer regions of our solar system, challenging previous skepticism. This potential planet, initially proposed in 2016 by Caltech researchers Konstantin Batygin and Michael Brown, is believed to exert gravitational influence on the orbits of distant icy bodies that intersect Neptune's path ..read more
