19 May 00:00:21 | Universe Today
I always remember hearing the comparison of how the Space Shuttle?s main engines would drain an average family swimming pool in under 25 seconds. Or that the Saturn V used the equivalent of 763 elephants of fuel. But just how much fuel does a rocket burn during its ascent to orbit? As you might expect, …

18 May 00:00:04 | Universe Today
We’re inching closer and closer to the James Webb Space Telescope’s (JWST) launch date of March 30th, 2021, (or maybe July 2021.) We never thought we’d get this close, with only a year to go before we send this powerful space telescope on its way. Now the telescope has been put in its launch configuration. …

Take a Peek Inside a Giant Star Right Before it Dies
17 May 00:00:17 | Universe Today
The biggest stars in our universe are some of the most fascinatingly complex objects to inhabit the cosmos. Indeed,giant stars have defied full explanation for decades. Especially when they’re near the end of their lives. Stars power themselves through nuclear fusion, from the smashing together of lighter elements into heavier ones. This process leaves behind …

Was Betelgeuse Formed by Merging Stars
16 May 00:00:03 | Universe Today
Modern humans?or Homo Sapiens?have only been around for about 250,000 years. That’s only the blink of an eye in cosmological terms. As it turns out, the star Betelgeuse may only be about the same age. A new study explores the idea that Betelgeuse formed from a merger of two stars only a few hundred thousand …

15 May 00:00:17 | Universe Today
When NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft flew past Pluto, studying the atmosphere was a key scientific objective. Most of what we know about the ice dwarf came from that flyby. That happened in July 2015, but it took over 15 months to send all the data home, and it’s taking even longer to analyze it. But …

Even More Evidence that Europa has Geysers
15 May 00:00:17 | Universe Today
Earlier this week, we shared some stunning, newly reprocessed images of Europa from NASA?s Galileo spacecraft, which visited Jupiter and its moons from December 1995 to September 2003. Now, as scientists continue to revisit Galileo?s data, even more details are coming into focus about Jupiter?s enticing moon. Not only is there evidence within the past …
