Look at that large black stain on the face of the Earth. That black mark would be courtesy of BP's disastrous oil leak, a giant stain on the crystalline blue…
The German Aerospace Center have developed a robot that a human operator can control from Earth, or perhaps from orbit, that can perform tasks in space that would be too dangerous for an astronaut.
Scientists at Colorado University-Boulder, analyzing data collected by NASA, have concluded that a massive ocean covering one-third of the planet’s entire surface existed on Mars 3.5 billion years ago. The scientists aren’t the first to suggest that Mars was once home to large oceans, but their research does support earlier assertions to that effect, assertions that have been challenged repeatedly over the years.
Check out these spectacular images of the planet Saturn sent back recently by the Cassini spacecraft. NASA just released these beautiful and surreal photos of the distant planet. The spacecraft has been swinging around Saturn and its moons for six years now (its arrival anniversary is June 30), returning interesting and sometimes surprising data about the extreme environments found at the sixth planet.
New data sent back by the Cassini spacecraft is hinting at the possible existence of methane-based lifeforms on Saturn’s moon Titan. The data received by scientists at NASA show that for some unknown reason, hydrogen and organic molecules are disappearing at the moon’s surface. The reason could be alien microbes breathing the gas like we breathe air.
The Airforce's experimental wingless aircraft. the X-51A Waverider, has successfully created a new hypersonic flight record by streaking across the sky Wednesday for more than three minutes while flying at…
