The discovery of water on the Moon was once a paradigm-shifting discovery that would revolutionise deep-space logistics in the universe in ways we never thought possible; this would allow astronauts to travel to and stay on the Moon or beyond before leaving. However, recent scientific data from agencies like NASA and the ESA reveal a…

The CSIRO, RMIT and the University of Melbourne have successfully built a quantum battery prototype from theory into practice, meaning both energy and physics sciences have now made this transition to energy technology. Whereas traditional electrochemical cells rely on chemical reactions for their energy storage, this organic battery uses principles of quantum mechanics, specifically superposition…

Quote of the day by Nicolaus Copernicus (Image source: Wikipedia) Quotes from great thinkers are still relevant today because they deal with ideas that never go out of style. Nicolaus Copernicus, a name closely linked to one of the most important scientific changes in human history, wrote one of these powerful lines. People’s understanding of…

Exploration of space has always been viewed from a perspective of science and discovery. However, it cannot be overlooked that exploration of space continues to have a very profound human element to it. Prior to the launch of NASA‘s next manned lunar exploration mission, named Artemis II, a touching tribute by astronauts was uncovered in…

Love You to the Moon and Back. The Moon and love have long kept each other’s company. Since the earliest ages of human expression, poets have used the Moon to speak of longing, lovers have looked up at it for comfort, husbands have reached for it when words ran dry, and newly married couples have…

On April 6, 2026, SpaceX carried out a Starlink mission using a Falcon 9 rocket. The launch placed 25 satellites into low-Earth orbit. It took place at 7:50 pm Pacific Time from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. The mission followed a short delay caused by upper-level wind conditions, which required a shift from the…

NASA’s Artemis II mission has made a significant step in its flight program by taking astronauts to the closest point to the Moon, which was last done during the Apollo 17 mission. While no landing took place during this mission, the mission objectives were to test space systems and make observations during a seven-hour flight…

Quote of the day by Alexander Fleming (Image source: Wikipedia) Sometimes, even when you plan carefully, things don’t go as planned. Some of the most important discoveries in history have happened when things didn’t go as planned. Alexander Fleming, whose work changed modern medicine, said this idea in a famous quote. His words show how…

What would a future look like with no darkness because people learned how to produce limitless amounts of power instead of saving electricity? It seems like this scenario was considered by the engineers from Japan in a project called the “Lunar Solar Ring.” The idea offered by Shimizu Corporation is a solar ring made of…

Artemis II nears historic lunar flyby as Nasa tests path back to the Moon (Picture credit: AP) BENGALURU: Four astronauts are now closing in on the Moon, as Nasa prepares for the most critical phase of its first crewed deep-space mission in over five decades — the Artemis II lunar flyby.Launched on April 2, the…
