You can remove space debris using a robot gripper
Credit: NASA/SUNI WILLIAMS The blue tentacle-like arm attached to the Astrobee Free Flying Robot will grab onto the “Capture Cube” in this image from February 4th, 2025. The experimental gripper demonstrated autonomous detection and capture techniques that can be used to remove space debris and service satellites. In low Earth orbit. The Astrobee system was designed and built at NASA’s…

Researchers identify potentially life-sustainable exoplanets
Credit: CC0 Public Domain International teams have confirmed the discovery of super-Earth orbits in habitable zones of nearby sun-like stars. The planet was originally detected two years ago by Oxford University scientist Dr. Michael Cletinier. The results open a window into future research on exoplanets like Earth that may have life-friendly conditions, based on observations over 20 years. The new…

A large Magellan cloud star throwing stars in the Milky Way could have a super-large black hole
This beautiful image shows four auxiliary telescopes, large and small Magellan clouds above the Naar Observatory of ESO, as well as a very large telescope (VLT) array. New research shows that the LMC holds an ultra-high Massive black hole that serves part of the multi-speed star in the Milky Way. Credit: By ESO/J.

Efforts to find an alien life can be boosted by simple tests that drive microorganisms
Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain Finding life in space is one of the great efforts of humanity. One approach is to find motile microorganisms that can move independently. This is an ability that is a strong hint in life. When movement is induced by a chemical and the organism moves accordingly, it is known as chemotactic. Currently, German researchers are developing…

Do you have a life there? The existence of other technical types is very possible
Credit: CC0 Public domain We live in the golden age for space exploration. Scientists collect a lot of new information and scientific evidence at a record pace. However, old questions remain unprecedented. Are we alone? New telescope technology, including space -based tools such as James Webb Telescope, has discovered thousands of residents that can support the same life as the…

New analysis of asteroid dust reveals evidence of salt water in the early solar system.
In October 2020, a bans -size robot spacecraft temporarily touched the surface of Benne, a 525 -meter planet, 32 million kilometers from the earth. As part of NASA’s OSIRIS-REX mission, spacecraft not only spent two years of imaging as an planet, but also collected valuable samples of dust and small rocks from the poor surface of Bennu. In September 2023,…
