In 2020, a NASA spacecraft swooped in on Bennu, a near-Earth asteroid, and scooped up rock and dirt from its surface then began the voyage home in May 2021. The spacecraft will eject a capsule full of ...
Using continuous imagery from NASA's PUNCH (Polarimeter to Unify the Corona and Heliosphere) mission, scientists predicted the near-Earth arrival of a solar eruption to within 30 minutes in an initial ...
A TEAM of astrophysicists have made a bombshell scientific discovery after detecting a radio signal coming from beyond the ...
In a new study, researchers measured subtle variations in iron, titanium, and chromium isotopes in Bennu grains. Their ...
Bennu is a small, near-Earth asteroid that makes a close pass to Earth every six years or so. Scientists believe Bennu might have broken off from a much larger carbon-rich asteroid about 700 million ...
Images taken by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter led to the discovery of a moon crater that's 728 feet wide. Impacts like that only happen once a century.
Opterus’ lightweight structural system will deploy and shape the largest solar sail ever flown, converting three SBIR phases into a mission-critical flight system. Opterus has received a $10.2 million ...
