NASA has revealed it is building a new space telescope to survey the sky for potentially hazardous asteroids that may be on a collision course with Earth. The infrared telescope, which is expected to cost $600 million (480 million), could reportedly launch as soon as 2025. It will enable the US space agency to find

Nasa’s most recent illustration of a black hole surrounded by an ‘accretion disc’ of gas, dust and other material (Image: Nasa) A Nasa satellite has detected a black hole feasting on an unfortunate star. The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) watched as the monster ate its victim after ‘ripping it to shreds’. This monstrous mukbang

What if there were a safe way to approach a black hole, like in the movie Interstellar? It would probably look something like this NASA visualization. This simulated black hole is surrounded by accumulated matter being pulled toward it, and the particles are in a thin accretion disk, where the swirling pace nears the speed
This striking black and white image was captured by Nasa’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (Photo: Nasa) We don’t know whether alien life ever existed on Mars. But we know there’s some pretty strange stuff on the Red Planet regardless of whether extraterrestrial organisms ever lived there. Now Nasa has spotted a gigantic and very unusual natural

NASA’s InSight lander has detected strange magnetic pulses in Mars’ magnetic field – and scientists are unsure what’s causing them. The pulses start at around midnight local time, and can last as long as two hours, with wave periods of longer than 1 minute, according to scientists. They are strongest in the north direction and
This weekend, two enormous asteroids will whizz past our planet, NASA has revealed. The first asteroid, called 2010 C01, is estimated to be around 120 to 260 metres in diameter. At the higher end of that estimate, that’s about the same size as the QE2. Meanwhile, the second asteroid, called 2000 QW7, is estimated to
