Astronomers at W. M. Keck Observatory on Maunakea, Hawai'i, have traced the origin of 2024 YR4, an Earth-crossing asteroid discovered in December 2024, to a surprising location. Contrary to expectations, the solid, stony asteroid appears to have emerged from a central Main Belt asteroid family between Mars and Jupiter-a region not previously associated with Earth-crossing bodies. "YR4 spin

Earth planning date: Wednesday, April 9, 2025: Our drive from Monday's plan was mostly successful, putting us ~22 meters down the "road" out of an expected 30 meters. A steering command halted the drive a little short when we tried to turn-in-place but instead turned into a rock, which also had the effect of making our position too unstable for arm activities. Oh well! APXS data has been showing

Surviving re-entry into Earth's atmosphere is among the most technically demanding tasks in spaceflight. During low-Earth orbit returns, spacecraft experience searing temperatures up to 1,600oC. This figure skyrockets to over 16,000oC in extreme cases, such as the Galileo probe's plunge into Jupiter. Heat shields are indispensable for protecting both payloads and human passengers from this inten

Chinese researchers analyzing rock samples from the Chang'e-6 lunar mission have determined that the Moon's farside mantle holds significantly less water than the nearside. The study, led by Prof. HU Sen of the Institute of Geology and Geophysics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, sheds new light on the internal structure and evolution of the Moon. Published in Nature, the team's findings
