Last week, Plato, the European Space Agency’s (ESA) planet-hunting nation, received the green light to continue its development after reviewing important milestones to be completed successfully. According to ESA, the review verified the maturity of the complete space segment (space platform and payload module), confirmed interface solidity and payload schedule with particular focus on 26 … Read more
The James Webb Space Telescope, which lifted off on Christmas Day, is expected to reach its goal by January 22 or 23. He aims for a Lagrange point, a quite exotic place, with phantom moons, even cemeteries of abandoned ships. Lagrange points – named after the mathematician who theorized them in the 18th century – … Read more
The shape of a comet’s orbit when it orbits the Sun is generally elliptical. Comets take hundreds of thousands of years to complete one orbit. When a comet approaches the Sun, it will heat up rapidly. As a result, solid ice turns directly into a gas through a process called sublimation. The gas contains carbon … Read more
astronaut taking blood Red blood cells, the blood cells responsible for transporting oxygen through blood vessels, were found to die out 54% more in space than on Earth. For the first time, it was discovered that this causes so-called ‘space anemia’, in which the red blood cell count of astronauts who traveled to space decreases. … Read more

The James Webb Space Telescope begins the long process of aligning 18 segments REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, MARYLAND — As the James Webb Space Telescope began the long process of aligning its 18 main mirror segments. A question then arose in the astronomical community: What would the large observatory see first? Webb successfully flew into space on December … Read more
On December 25, space exploration experienced a historic moment, the James Webb Space Telescope successfully completed its takeoff and began a new era of sidereal research. What we already explained in Xataka, its importance lies in the fact that it is a hundred times more powerful than its predecessor, so it will allow humanity to … Read more
Not much is known about Asteroid 2022 AE1 – only two possible collision dates. After its discovery, it moved to the top of the risk lists at NASA and ESA. Frankfurt – about 70 meters in diameter, only known for a few days – has jumped to number one on NASA and its European partner, … Read more
