Hubble photographs a stunning “mirror galaxy” 6.9 billion light years away from Earth.

According to a news release from the European Space Agency, gravitational lensing enabled the Hubble Space Telescope to take a stunning "mirror image" of a galaxy. The image captured above looks to be of two galaxies that are linked to one another. There is only one, and its name is SGAS J143845+145407. The light from a distant galaxy cluster, which is reaching us from two separate sides, is visible while we observe the magnified galaxy. Hubble photographs a far-off "mirror galaxy" Astronomers can see far further into the distant galaxy thanks to gravitational lensing. This is caused by a peculiarity of gravity that warps light flowing through the gravitational field of a large object, such as a galaxy cluster. The term "lensed" refers to the gravitational distortion of an object...

Starship fits the world’s highest 3D-printed space habitat.

How would life in space be like? A Starship-ready space home was constructed by the Danish architecture firm SAGA Space Architects in collaboration with students at the Institut auf dem Rosenberg, ranging in age from 6 to 18. A Swiss boarding school called Institut auf dem Rosenberg thinks that the program would inspire students to imagine creating brand-new space inventions. The space habitat prototype has been under development for years and is now on exhibit in a Swiss experimental park, according to a press release. A student space habitat that is Starship-ready The housing was created to fit inside the Starship launch vehicle from SpaceX, which is headed for Mars and could make its first orbital launch this summer. Astronauts can work at numerous workstations around th...

Super-Earths might be able to support life for 80 billion years.

Super-Earths keep their atmospheres habitable, living up to their moniker. That's because, according to a recent study, enormous Super-Earth planets can preserve their atmosphere and water for tens of billions of years. Theoretically, the Earth-like exoplanets can sustain life for considerably longer periods of time than Earth; researchers on the latest study believe they may be habitable for up to 80 billion years. The age of the entire cosmos is estimated to be 13.7 billion years old as a point of comparison. Super-Earths have atmospheres with increased power. Computer simulations, according to the astronomers who conducted the new study, which was published in the journal Nature Astronomy, demonstrate that Super-Earths are capable of sustaining their primary atmospheres, which ar...

Finally! A date was selected for the moon-bound Artemis I mission by NASA.

A specific date for the SLS launch has been specified by NASA. According to a report from Ars Technica, U.S. space agency officials stated on Wednesday, July 20, that they are on track to launch the moon-bound Space Launch System (SLS) this summer. We may be less than five weeks away from witnessing the Artemis I mission to lift off because the agency established a provisional launch date of August 29. NASA's SLS has a set date for the launch. According to current plans, SLS would be used to launch NASA's Orion spacecraft toward the moon. On August 18, the organization's big rocket will be transported to the launch site. The space agency then decided to launch on August 29, September 2, and September 5, respectively. "These are the dates we are working toward today," said ...
