The SpaceX and NASA Crew-6 launch from the Kennedy Space Center, Florida was cancelled on February 27 due to an issue with loading the ignition fuel on the Falcon 9 rocket. News of the scrubbed launch came with just over two minutes left on the countdown clock.
The winds, which may trigger auroras, will likely reach our planet on Friday or Saturday, Daniel Verscharen from University College London said.
An expert witness on the stand in the Gwyneth Paltrow trial used Newton’s theory of gravity to explain why he believed the actress’s account of the Utah ski collision was more likely than her accuser’s.
An ultramassive black hole around 33 billion times the mass of the sun has been discovered by UK astronomers. Scientists from Durham University said the gargantuan black hole is one of the biggest ever found. The team described its findings, published in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, as "extremely exciting".
It was 60 years ago, on September 12, 1962, that President John F Kennedy pledged to put a man on the Moon before that decade was through. Now NASA has stated that humans will be living and working there within the next 10 years.
The gamma-ray burst occurred two billion light-years away from Earth.

Humans using sugar in cockroach traps has inadvertently led to female roaches being turned off by the sugary "gifts" males use to entice them into mating.The big losers are ordinary male cockroaches, who now secrete a gift too rich in glucose and take too long to start mating for the taste of many females.
Lockheed Martin announced today the creation of a wholly owned subsidiary called Crescent Space Services that will focus on infrastructure for the moon, the latest sign that the aerospace and defense giant is bullish on the future of a lunar economy. The new venture will focus initially on a communications and navigation network in cislunar orbit it's calling Parsec. The Parsec network will be owned and operated by Crescent, with Lockheed designing and building the spacecraft.
Scientists have developed a sensor that can test for COVID and flu at the same time and tell which one you have within 10 seconds. "They can improve the ability to detect very small quantities of basically anything that needs to be sensed," he said.
The very notion of resurrecting the long-extinct woolly mammoth was the stuff of fantasy not that long ago, but scientists are already working on ways to achieve something close to that, using DNA from soft-tissue in frozen mammoth remains and meshing it with that of a modern-day elephant. Vow, an Australian cultivated food company that creates meat in a laboratory setting from animal cells, says that it has used advanced molecular engineering to resurrect the woolly mammoth in meatball form, by combining original mammoth DNA with fragments of an African elephant's DNA.

A follow-up investigation unveils new secrets about the explosion in unprecedented detail—giving scientists a better understanding of what happened and how such an event rollicked through space.The gamma ray burst “gave

Scientists have created a new building material from potato starch which, with a pinch of salt, could help build houses on the Moon and Mars.
Scientists have discovered a new and renewable source of water on the moon for future explorers in lunar samples from a Chinese mission. Water was embedded in tiny glass beads in the lunar dirt where meteorite impacts occur. The beads range in size from the width of one hair to several hairs; the water content was just a miniscule fraction of that, said Hejiu Hui of Nanjing University, who took part in the study.
Quantum physics is a famously challenging idea to grasp – a series of interactions between atomic and subatomic particles whose behaviour often seems to contradict our own experience of the world.
Could a puff of air one day replace the needle in delivering medicines and vaccines? These scientists are working on it.
