This achievement not only solidified India's position in space exploration but also showcased that lunar landers can...

Standing at 6 feet 2 inches (188 centimeters) tall and weighing 300 pounds (136 kilograms), NASA's humanoid robot Valkyrie is an imposing figure. Valkyrie, named after a female figure in Norse mythology and being tested at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, is designed to operate in "degraded or damaged human-engineered environments," like areas hit by natural disasters, according to NASA. But robots like her could also one day operate in space. A humanoid robot resembles a person, typically with a torso, head, two arms and two legs. Engineers believe with the right software, humanoid robots will eventually be able to function similarly to humans and use the same tools and equipment. NASA Dexterous Robotics Team Leader Shaun Azimi said humanoid robots in space could potentially handle risky tasks like cleaning solar panels or inspecting malfunctioning equipment outside the space craft so astronauts can prioritize exploration and discovery. "We'r...

A NASA spacecraft captured remarkable images of a solar storm eruption as it was flying by the sun. The pictures captured depict the fiery ejection “vacuuming up” space dust left over from the formation of the solar system. NASA’s Parker Solar Probe captured the images on September 5, and NASA shared the images with the public on Monday. The probe was lucky enough to take images of one of the most powerful coronal mass ejections (CMEs) ever recorded, according to the space agency. Another first! Our Parker Solar Probe flew through an eruption from the Sun, and saw it “vacuuming up” space dust left over from the formation of the solar system.

The task of tracking down the source of a mystery object found beach ed in Western Australia continues for state and federal authorities, with the large metallic cylinder set to be moved to a secret location. The item was discovered near Green Head, 250km north of Perth on the state’s Mid West Coast, on Saturday. WATCH THE VIDEO ABOVE: Mystery object that washed up on WA beach set to be moved.

The Australian Space Agency (ASA) said the device, which appears to be partly made of a woven material, could be part of a space vehicle and is contacting other international agencies in a bid to identify it. The find — which was dubbed an “unidentified floating object ” — is understood to have been at sea for months before washing up in WA, given it...

He’s embarking on uncharted territory but, as a self-described “ space tragic ”, Daniel Joinbee is in his element. Joinbee, 33, owns and operates Australia’s only Indigenous space consultancy firm. His goal: Get more First Nations people involved in the space industry. Watch the latest News on Channel 7 or stream for free on 7plus >> “Mob have been sleeping under the stars, hunting by the stars, navigating by the stars for over 60,000 years,” he told 7NEWS.com.au. “There’s a strong cultural connection to space and I think it’s really fitting, as the space industry is going through unprecedented growth in Australia, that we have some First Nations leadership and involvement in that conversation and those opportunities.” A proud Gunggandji man who grew up in Melbourne, Joinbee’s background is in defence aviation. Daniel Joinbee has set up Gunggandji Aerospace to increase First Nations participation in Australia’s space industry. Credit: Supplied He joined the Royal Australian Ai...

TOKYO: Japanese startup ispace inc said its attempt to make the first private moon landing had failed after losing contact with its Hakuto-R Mission 1 (M1) lander, concluding it had most likely crashed on the lunar surface. "We lost communication, so we have to assume that we could not complete the landing on the lunar surface," founder and Chief Executive Takeshi Hakamada said on a company live stream. It was the second setback for private space development in a week after SpaceX's Starship rocket exploded spectacularly minutes after soaring off its launch pad. A private firm has yet to succeed with a lunar landing. Only the United States, the former Soviet Union and China have soft-landed spacecraft on the moon, with attempts in recent years by India and a private Israeli company ending in failure. Shares in ispace, which delivers payloads such as rovers to the moon and sells related data, were untraded Wednesday morning but indicated to fall by t...

NASA's Earth Radiation Budget Satellite (ERBS) is expected to enter Earth on Sunday, nearly four decades after the agency sent it to space .  After a long journey, the satellite is set to fall back into the planet today at approximately 6:40 PM ET, give or take 17 hours. Since the ERBS will mostly burn up when it reaches here, it is likely to be less harmful. Read Twitter further cuts staff overseeing global content moderation While the initial assumption was that the satellite would only survive for two years , it exceeded expectations. However, according to the Engadget, the ERBS only achieved a little. It was launched in 1984 to collect ozone and atmospheric measurements until 2005 and help in understanding how Earth absorbed and radiated solar energy.

WASHINGTON: The Pentagon's new push to investigate reports of UFOs has so far not yielded any evidence to suggest that aliens have visited Earth or crash-landed here, senior military leaders said on Friday. However, the Pentagon's effort to investigate anomalous, unidentified objects -- whether they are in space , the skies or even underwater -- led to hundreds of new reports that are now being investigated, they say. But so far they have seen nothing that indicates intelligent alien life. "I have not seen anything in those holdings to date that would suggest that there has been an alien visitation, an alien crash or anything like that," said Ronald Moultrie, undersecretary of defence for intelligence and security. Sean Kirkpatrick, director of the Pentagon's newly formed All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), did not rule out the possibility of extraterrestrial life and said he was taking a scientific approach to the research. "I would just s...

Most galaxies are built around humongous black holes . While many of these are comparatively docile, like the one at our Milky Way’s centre, some are fierce - guzzling surrounding material and unleashing huge and blazingly bright jets of high-energy particles far into space. WATCH THE VIDEO: First look at monster black hole. Watch the latest News on Channel 7 or stream for free on 7plus >> Using data from the recently deployed Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) orbiting observatory, researchers this week offered an explanation for how these jets become so luminous: subatomic particles called electrons becoming energised by shock waves moving at supersonic speed away from the black hole. The researchers studied an exotic object called a blazar at the centre of a large elliptical galaxy named Markarian 501 located about 460 million light years away from Earth in the direction of the constellation Hercules. A light year is the distance light travels in a year, 9.5 trillion...
