In November, China’s moon rover, Yutu-2, spotted a cube-shaped object on the horizon while it was traveling along the Von Kármán crater on the far side of the moon, according to Canada’s Global News. Our Space, a Chinese site that is part of the government-run China National Space Administration, called the unidentified shape a “mystery hut.” The object was about 80 meters (87 yards) away when the grainy photograph of it was taken. The robotic rover is inching its way toward the object, a journey that reportedly will take two to three months. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/space/space_exploration/news.php?q=1636998975 text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/space/space_exploration/news.php?q=1634316211 10-15-21 MOSCOW —A forthcoming flight to space by a Japanese billionaire will allow the public to have a closer look at life on board the orbiting outpost, the president of Space Adventures, a company that organized the flight, said Friday.

Launched back in 1977, Voyager 1 is currently the most distant man-made object ever. Its 44-year journey has taken it past the edge of the solar system into the interstellar medium. Now, instruments aboard Voyager 1 that have attempted to analyze that interstellar medium have discovered a constant humming, which appears to be the “noise” of the universe beyond our solar system. This drone appears to be emitted by interstellar gas or plasma waves found in the mostly empty space between star systems. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/space/space_exploration/news.php?q=1620494295 5- 8-21 A new study published in the Physical Review Letters suggests that the remnant cores of dead average-size stars can explode like a nuclear bomb. Known as white dwarfs, these dense cores are packed with heavy radioactive elements called actinides that can spontaneously undergo nuclear fission – the splitting of atoms. Depending on certain conditions, these cores can eventually undergo uncontrolled fission, culminating in a massive stellar explosion known as a supernova. “The conditions to build and set off an atomic bomb seemed very difficult. I was surprised that these conditions might be satisfied in a natural way inside a very dense white dwarf,” Charles Horowitz, a nuclear astrophysicist from Indiana University Bloomington and one of the study’s researchers, told Space. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/space/space_exploration/news.php?q=1619198640 4-23-21 NASA and Elon Musk’s commercial rocket company SpaceX launched a new four-astronaut team on a flight to the International Space Station on Friday, the first crew ever propelled into orbit by a rocket booster recycled from a previous spaceflight.

NASA’s Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) detected water in the Clavius Crater, according to a media release from NASA. The Clavius Crater is the largest crater visible from Earth, NASA reported. “We had indications that H2O – the familiar water we know – might be present on the sunlit side of the Moon,” Director of the Astrophysics Division in the Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters Paul Hertz said in a press release. “Now we know it is there. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/space/space_exploration/news.php?q=1601569649 Discover the cosmos!

Join the crowd. Oddly, details about how lightning is produced remains a topic of research. What is known is that updrafts carry light ice crystals into collisions with larger and softer ice balls, causing the smaller crystals to become positively charged. After enough charge becomes separated, the rapid electrical discharge that is lightning occurs. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/space/space_exploration/news.php?q=1600521730 9-18-20 Scientists have studied the Sun for a long time. But solar phenomena such as sunspots have remained a mystery. Researchers from the University of Washington attempted to solve the puzzle by creating a model of the Sun’s plasma flow. They showed that a thin layer beneath its surface plays a vital role in the formation of sunspots and other solar features. This layer is composed of flowing plasma, or free-floating electrons, and magnetic flux, which is the number of magnetic field lines passing through a given closed surface. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/space/space_exploration/news.php?q=1598709718 8-28-20 The Earth is flying through a cloud of radioactive debris left behind by an ancient supernova explosion, according to a new report by scientists looking at our oceans. A team from the Australian National University (ANU) has made this conclusion after studying radioactive dust found at the bottom of our oceans. While this dust is in small enough amounts that it presents no harm to humans, it does give clues about the nature of the part of space our planet is flying through. The presence of this dust, a rare isotope of iron forged in supernovae called iron-60, contributes to a growing body of evidence that our planet is still moving through an interstellar cloud of dust that could have originated from a supernova that occurred millions of years ago. The researchers, led by ANU physicist Anton Wallner, published their findings in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/space/space_exploration/news.php?q=1598289263   8-24-20 Asteroid 2020 QG broke the record for the closest flyby to Earth that did not result in an impact. But while it managed to avoid collision, the asteroid didn’t fly past the planet unscathed. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) said that the path of 2020 QG was forever changed by the gravitational force of Earth. The asteroid is now traveling in space in a new trajectory since its close run-in. “It’s really cool to see a small asteroid come by this close because we can see the Earth’s gravity dramatically bend its trajectory,” said Paul Chodas, director of the Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/space/space_exploration/news.php?q=1592415461 text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/space/space_exploration/news.php?q=1590585755 text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/space/space_exploration/news.php?q=1589459659 5-13-20 Researchers from the University of California believe there is a lot more water on the Moon than previously thought. There are patches of water ice in the craters in the Moon’s southern region. These patches have been preserved for thousands – possibly even millions – of years due to the Moon’s lack of an atmosphere and to the fact that some of the Moon’s southern regions almost never see sunlight. Scientists believe that the water trapped in these areas, which have temperatures that can reach as low as -388 F, will remain there forever. However, this research has shown that this may not be the case. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/space/space_exploration/news.php?q=1581276138 text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/space/space_exploration/news.php?q=1580490087 1-30-20 NASA has captured what appears to be a new 50-foot wide impact crater on the surface of Mars. Onboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO), a spacecraft circling and taking photographs of the Red Planet, NASA’s High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) instrument – a 143-pound camera – snapped a picture of a new crater, which researchers have estimated to be between 49 to 53 feet wide. The image was captured in April 2019 and was posted in June. It shows what appears to be a large black-and-blue bruise on the landscape of an otherwise flat and red area of Mars. The limitations of the MRO means that it can’t look everywhere at the same time – therefore NASA, along with researchers from the University of Arizona (UA) who operate HiRISE, are unsure of when exactly the impact occurred. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/space/space_exploration/news.php?q=1579533904 1-18-20 Astronomers believe that they have found two new Earth-like exoplanets situated within their host star’s habitable zone, or the area around a star that can support the existence of liquid water. These are the conclusions of the scientists who have been observing the star known as Teegarden’s Star, an ultra-cool dwarf that sits just 12.5 light-years away from Earth. Their observations suggested that, due to the diminished heat produced by Teegarden’s Star, the two Earth-like exoplanets have a smaller orbit. “The two planets resemble the inner planets of our solar system,” said lead researcher Mathias Zechmeister. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/space/space_exploration/news.php?q=1578159484 1-4-20 "Astronomers tell us that we are in the middle of an interlocking wheel-within-a-wheel within a cosmic time machine that the Mayans and also Egyptians understood, and just as we go around in relationship to our immediate solar paradigm, our entire galactic system currently is moving around in relationship to the larger configuration of the Pleiades, now known to astronomers as Messier 45 (M45).  This larger wheel is known as the Precession of the Equinoxes, the period of time that it takes the Earth to pass through one complete cycle of the constellations of the zodiac.  It is the earth’s wobble or spinning axis (at an angle) that makes the zodiac appear to move “backward” one sign about every 2200 years, or about one degree every 72 years.  This averages to 12 signs in 26,000 years.  The Pleiades occupies a key role in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres during the Equinoxes and Solstices which are established by this Precession. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/space/space_exploration/news.php?q=1577804042 text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/space/space_exploration/news.php?q=1576600295 text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/space/space_exploration/news.php?q=1576520810 text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/space/space_exploration/news.php?q=1576337933 12-13-19 For over 50 years, scientists have been baffled by events known as “transient lunar phenomena” (TLP).

But researchers said that the Red Planet might harbor flowing water hundreds of meters underground. Previous studies have indicated that the Martian south pole contained lakes of liquid water buried far below the surface. In contrast, the equatorial region displayed terrain features that originated in ancient streams and rivers, which moved across the ground level or slightly below the surface millions of years ago.
