We will inevitably find ourselves on a collision course with a CME, the question is what will it do to our society? — The year is 1859. On the 1st of September, British astronomer Richard Carrington observed the sun and noticed something out of the ordinary – for five minutes, there was a white flare from the sun unlike anything ever recorded. 18 hours later, Earth was met with geomagnetic storms of epic…

When we think of life, we normally don’t imagine a frozen hellscape over a hundred degrees colder than Earth, but Titan may be the exception — We as a species have always wondered if life could exist outside our planet. As our science and technology have developed, we are able to explore further and further into our solar system, but alas, we still haven’t found it yet. When you think about the possibility of alien life…

This California-Based Company Hopes to Launch the First Private Mission to Venus! — Venus has been a bit overshadowed over the last few decades. The previous mission to our closest planetary neighbour was in 1994, and NASA’s planned missions aren’t leaving until later this decade. But a California-based company called Rocket Lab is hoping to fill in this gap with their own mission…

There’s only a matter of days until Artemis 1, the mission that will kickstart our lunar future! — Edit: As you’ve probably heard, the Artemis 1 launch has unfortunately been delayed due to issues with adjusting the temperature of the engines. Because of the inherent risk posed by spaceflight, NASA needs to ensure that everything goes according to plan before they launch. …

With new technologies, we would potentially 3D print houses both on Earth and in space! — House prices globally are already excessively high, and rising material costs aren’t helping the problem. So imagine how hard it would be to construct buildings in space, where it costs thousands of dollars to send just one kilogram. Even though the price has decreased dramatically in recent years, it won’t…

Venus's surface is a hellish landscape. The heat would get you if you weren’t crushed to death. But what if we could create habitats that ignored this problem? — When you think of humans colonising the stars, your mind probably jumps to Mars or establishing a base on the moon — after all, that’s where NASA, Elon Musk, and virtually anyone else is vying to reach first. But what if there are some other places to consider? …

Advancements in technology allow us to actually SEE individual atoms! — When you take a picture on your phone, you can usually zoom in around ten times, depending on the model. To zoom even further, you might need a macro lens. To get a glimpse of the micrometer-size cells that make up life, you need a light microscope. However, once you…

With Boom Supersonic’s pitch to bring back supersonic airliners, we might see a new age of high-speed air travel! — Edit: As you may have read, American Airlines has decided to place 20 Boom Supersonic Overtures on order. This just marks one more leap forward for this innovative company and will only help bring supersonic travel back into the public consciousness. It’s been nearly two decades since the Concorde was…

The Gateway will serve as a home to astronauts visiting the moon and as a starting point for further deep-space exploration efforts. — Get ready for our return to the moon! With CAPSTONE’s launch today, NASA is making strides to take humanity back to the moon. Then there’s Artemis I and Artemis II, uncrewed and crewed respectively, which will show off the Orion spacecraft and Space Launch System.
