The Moon lacks a global magnetic field today, making it unclear how these rocks became magnetized.

One of the key findings is that the lunar impact record began during the solidification of the lunar magma ocean, with clear impact structures being preserved from about 4.46 billion years ago.

China describes itself as one of the world's most climate-vulnerable countries, and it is coming under increasing pressure to adapt to rapidly changing weather patterns and sea levels that are rising faster than the global average.

The four-person civilian crew, led by billionaire Jared Isaacman as Mission Commander, will embark on a journey lasting up to five days.

The first asteroid, 2011 UL21, passed Earth on June 27, 2024, at a distance of about 6.6 million kilometers, or roughly 17 times the distance between Earth and the Moon.

Isro has already secured a major contract for launching a satellite aboard SSLV in 2026. The 450kg Optimus spacecraft, the largest Australian-designed and built probe to date, will be launched on SSLV.

Glacier melt is a major contributor to rising sea levels, a threat to coastal settlements worldwide. Current rates of ice melt could result in a permanent decline of Juneau Icefield, researchers said.

They conducted "Marswalks," cultivated and harvested vegetables to supplement their shelf-stable food supplies, and maintained both their equipment and habitat.

Space Pioneer, a Beijing-based firm, was conducting a routine ground test of its new Tianlong-3 rocket in Gongyi, a city in China's central Henan province, when the mishap occurred.

The first Indian spacecraft to be tasked with studying the Sun, the lone star which powers life on the planet, Aditya L1 has been hard at work since it arrived at its new home.

The OSIRIS-REx Sample Analysis Team found that Bennu's dust is rich in carbon, nitrogen, and organic compounds, all essential components for life as we know it.

To maintain the halo orbit, Aditya-L1 underwent two station-keeping maneuvers on February 22 and June 7, 2024.

These conical ribbon-type parachutes, measuring 5.8 meters in diameter, are designed to minimise canopy mechanics and mitigate opening shock, ensuring a smooth deceleration.

Boeing's maiden human space flight was postponed and cancelled several times before it eventually launched. However, instead of returning home after about eight days, the spacecraft remains docked to the station.

This colour change, while subtle to the human eye, provides crucial insights into the health and composition of ocean ecosystems.

An extinction crisis that has mostly been blamed on climate change and the environment. But there is more than meets the eye.

A nova explosion is a powerful and sudden increase in brightness of a star, caused by a thermonuclear explosion on the surface.

The video, taken from approximately 400 kilometers above Earth, reveals the sheer magnitude and intensity of this potentially catastrophic weather system.

The findings, which shed light on the distribution and origin of rock fragments in the area, mark a significant advancement in our understanding of lunar geology.

The discovery is particularly significant as it coincides with the period following the massive asteroid impact 66 million years ago, which triggered a global reset of plant life.
