Crew-4 is expected to return to Earth today after two consecutive days of delays over weather concerns. NASA SpaceX’s Crew-4 Dragon Capsule, titled Freedom, is expected to splashdown at the coast of Florida at 4:50 PM EDT (Saturday, 1:30 AM IST), with undocking from the International Space Station at no earlier than 11:35 AM EDT (approximately 9:00 PM IST) SpaceX’s Crew-4 mission will leave the International Space Station today after two failed attempts due to weather concerns. This marks the end of nearly a six-month mission for NASA astronauts Bob Hines, Kjell Lindgren, and Jessica Watkins, as well as Italian…

New research on Supernovas shows stars emit early signs of the end before their eventual celestial death, allowing researchers to gather more data on the lifecycle of stars. An early predictive system has been developed by astronomers from Liverpool John Moores University and the University of Montpellier to alert when a major star is ready to end its life in a supernova explosion. The paper, (Ben Davies et al, Explosion Imminent: the Appearance of Red Supergiants at the Point of Core-Collapse) published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, discusses how large stars (between 8-20 solar masses), in…

NASA’s ARTEMIS’s exciting venture into the lunar south pole preparations continues through moonwalking and rover operation tests. As NASA readies itself for the ARTEMIS research phase for the surface of the Moon, two multi-week field test plans are set to be conducted near Flagstaff, Arizona with the active involvement of NASA astronauts, engineers and scientists. These tests are expected to provide crucial data and a practice arena for ARTEMIS astronauts. The test is also conducted as a lunar surface environmental simulation for ARTEMIS astronauts, as the ecosystem of the Arizona desert parallels actual lunar conditions, such as difficult terrains and…

Selinsgrove- Micheal Davis, an engineer at NASA, gives his glowing approval of the James Webb Telescope, during Monday’s annual Claritas Distinguished Lecture in the Sciences at Susquehanna Degenstein Center Theater. The session, attended by the students and faculty of Susquehanna University, was excited at Davis’s presence as the deputy systems engineer of the telescope and as a representative of NASA. “The James Webb Telescope works, and it works, perfectly,” said Davis, as he addressed the crowd. As the deputy mission systems engineer, Davis is entrusted with the responsibility of ensuring the accuracy and fulfilment of over 30,000 day-to-day requirements concerning…
