'Man to Mars' is a dream for all of us on Earth. NASA is assessing the feasibility of adding a crew to the first integrated flight of the agency's Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft, Exploration Mission 1 (EM-1). It is building new deep space capabilities to take humans farther into the solar system, to Mars.

NASA 's Cassini is tracking several small, persistent objects as it travels and continues its weekly ring-grazing orbit. It discovered these objects while diving just past the outside of Saturn's F-ring.
The images captured by Cassini's narrow-angle camera show two such objects. Cassini captured these objects on Feb. 5, 2017. A team of scientists at Space Science Institute in Boulder,...
Inspite of being just pea-sized, bumblebees are well know for their exceptional organizational dynamics and they've once again proved to be the rulers of intelligence by displaying their amazing soccer skills. Biologist Clint Perry, who is currently studying the evolution of cognition in insects at Queen Mary University of London, carried out a series of experiments along with his colleagues in which...
At about 40 light-years (235 trillion miles) away from our solar system, an international team of astronomers (NASA and the European Southern Observatory team) have discovered seven Earth-sized worlds, which have been spotted orbiting closely around a tiny, a Jupiter-sized ultra-cool dwarf star called TRAPPIST-1 in the constellation of Aquarius, according to a study published Wednesday in the journal...
Scientists have discovered seven new species of night frogs from the Western Ghats in India, of which four are among the smallest frogs known to man.
The newly found species belong to the Nyctibatrachus genus. The four smaller frogs, measuring between 0.5 and 0.6 inches, are Nyctibatrachus manalari, N. pulivijayani, N. robinmoorei and N. Sabarimalai.
The others namely N. Webilla, N. athirappillyensis, and N....
'Dawn' NASA's mission to the dwarf planet, Ceres has made a stunning discovery. It has found evidence for organic material on Ceres. Scientists found the organic material in and around Ernutet, a crater in the northern-hemisphere. It covers approximately 1000 square kilometers, in and around the crater. A very small area in Inamahari Crater, which is about 250 miles away...
We’re taught in primary school that there are seven continents exist on the globe: Asia, Africa, Antarctica, Australia, Europe, North America and South America. However, some geologists do believe that Europe and Asia are into a supercontinent, known as Eurasia. But according to a new study, a team of New Zealand geologists have identified a new concealed underwater continent...
SpaceX on Sunday launched the first private rocket from NASA's historic launch pad at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. NASA closely monitored the activities in order to learn more about SpaceX. The California-based company aims to fly US astronauts on their rockets.
The 70-meter tall Falcon 9 rocket blasted off from Launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center. This...
In the cave of Naica Mine, Mexico, a team of researchers have discovered life forms (40 strains of microbes and some viruses) trapped inside giant crystals. The biologists estimate that these ancient life forms could be 50,000 years old.
Penelope Boston, chief of NASA’s Astro-biology Institute in California, on Friday announced that the bizarre and ancient microbes were found dormant...
Looks like the mammoths are coming again, and very soon we would be sharing the earth with them, as scientists at the Harvard University have revealed that they are just two years away from creating a hybrid woolly mammoth embryo.
They would be making the embryo using the technique of gene editing, to incorporate characteristics of the woolly mammoth into...
