NASA radar on Chandrayaan-I spots Water Ice on Moon

A NASA radar aboard India’s Chandrayaan-1 lunar orbiter has detected ice deposits, near the moon’s north pole. Using data from NASA’s Mini-SAR instrument, a lightweight, synthetic aperture radar, scientists found more than 40 small craters with water ice. The Moon craters range in size from 1 to 9 miles (2 to15 km) in diameter and [...]

NASA “Puffin” Personal Aircraft Design unveiled

US space agency NASA is working on a flying suit or jet pack that can fly at 240 kilometers per hour speed carrying a person. The conceptual project has been named "Puffin" and NASA officially unveil the design on January 20, 2010 at an American Helicopter Society meeting in San Francisco. Take a look at [...]

Annular Solar Eclipse on January 15

On Friday, January 15th, a nearly total solar eclipse will be visible from Africa and Asia. The first solar eclipse of 2010 is special because it is an annular eclipse, in which the Moon doesn’t completely cover the disc of the Sun, and a small "annulus" (ring) of Sun surrounds the Moon.
According to NASA, [...]

Hubble uncovers earliest Galaxies of the Universe

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has broken all the previous distance limits for galaxies and uncovered a population of compact and ultra-blue galaxies that have never been seen before. These newly found galaxies pushes back the time when galaxies began to form to 500-600 million years after the Big Bang, which took place about 13.7 billion [...]

Tropical Cyclone 05B to hit India on Monday

Tropical Cyclone 05B has formed out of "System 96B" in the Northern Indian Ocean and is forecast to approach southeastern India by Sunday, December 13 and make landfall on Monday. On Friday, December 11 at 15:00 UTC (10 a.m. ET or 8 p.m. local Asia/ Kolkata time in Chennai, India), Tropical Storm 05B had maximum [...]

NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope looks at Microquasars

NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has made the first unambiguous detection of high-energy gamma-rays from an enigmatic binary system known as Cygnus X-3. The system pairs a hot, massive star with a compact object — either a neutron star or a black hole — that blasts twin radio-emitting jets of matter into space at more [...]

Spitzer Space Telescope discovers Youngest Brown Dwarf

NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope has contributed to the discovery of the youngest brown dwarf ever observed. Spitzer’s longer-wavelength infrared camera penetrated the dusty natal cloud to observe a baby brown dwarf named SSTB213 J041757. The data, confirmed with near-infrared imaging from Calar Alto Observatory in Spain, revealed not one but two of what would potentially [...]

Ares I-X First Test Flight Successful

US space agency NASA’s first flight test for the agency’s next-generation spacecraft and launch vehicle system, called Ares I-X, was successfully completed today. Ares I-X lifted off at 11:30 a.m. EDT Wednesday from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The flight test lasted about six minutes from its launch from the newly modified Launch Pad [...]

NASA Spacecraft Hits Moon in Search for Water

(Assams.Info) - US space agency NASA’s Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) created twin impacts on the moon’s surface early Friday in a search for water ice. Now scientists will analyze data from the spacecraft’s instruments to assess whether water ice is present under moon surface.
LCROSS traveled 5.6 million miles during an historic 113-day [...]

NASA Telescope Discovers Largest Saturn Ring

(Assams.Info) - US space agency NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope has discovered an enormous ring around Saturn, which is by far the largest of the giant planet’s many rings. The new belt lies at the far reaches of the Saturnian system, with an orbit tilted 27 degrees from the main ring plane. The bulk of its [...]
