Watch: SpaceX successfully lands rocket at sea for the first time
They did it. After several unsuccessful tries, SpaceX successfully landed its first-stage booster on an ocean platform for the first time in its first space station supply run for NASA since last year. The company also launched the first inflatable room ever built for astronauts. The unmanned Falcon rocket soared into a clear afternoon sky, carrying a full load of supplies for the International Space Station as well as its futuristic pop-up room. After sending the Dragon capsule on its way, th..>> view originalTeam identifies clathrate ices in comet 67P
Southwest Research Institute scientists led an international team studying the composition of comet 67P's coma to better understand the ice structures and the possible origin of its nucleus. The team found evidence of water ice clathrates …more. For ...>> view originalThis is how hypothetical Planet Nine looks like
A team of European scientists have used planetary formation models and their knowledge about the hypothetical Planet Nine to know how it might look like and of what it is made of. Till date, astronomers have not been able to prove the existence of Planet Nine. But scientists believe that there is something present far beyond Pluto. Astrophysicist Christoph Mordasini from the University of Bern and his PhD Student Esther Linder, planet model specialists, has tried to find out interesting things ..>> view originalEarth could become hotter than thought, study warns
Global warming could make the planet far hotter than currently projected because today's scientific models do not correctly account for the influence of clouds, researchers said this week. The study in the journal Science was led by researchers at Yale University and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. When climate scientists look ahead to how much the planet's surface temperature may warm up in response to a doubling of carbon dioxide -- a byproduct of fossil fuel burning -- they typically..>> view originalArtificial Comet Holds Key To Creating Building Blocks Of Life
French researchers showed for the first time that artificial comet ice contains ribose and other sugar molecules believed to be building blocks for RNA and DNA.
