This place is the most isolated place on Earth, and NASA uses it as a spacecraft graveyard ( AI-generated) Point Nemo sits quietly in the southern Pacific, marked on maps but rarely thought about. It is not a destination in any usual sense. There are no ships passing nearby, no islands breaking the surface, and…
What happened to NASA’s ‘Moon Trees’ after they orbited the Moon on Apollo 14 (Image source: Wikipedia) What NASA accomplished in the early 1970s is a little-known but truly impressive feat. Instead of putting rockets or robots in space, they put seeds there. Seeds of different trees accompanied astronauts on the Apollo 14 mission in…

NASA is sending humans around the Moon again after 50 years and here’s why it matters. (AI-generated) For years, the Moon has sat quietly in the background of space news, always present but rarely urgent. That has begun to change. In early 2026, NASA plans to send people around the Moon again, something that has…
January nights do not always feel generous. The cold arrives early, clouds linger, and most evenings seem too quiet for spectacle. Still, the sky keeps moving, mostly unnoticed, offering small moments that reward patience rather than planning. This January, NASA highlights a handful of events that are easy to miss if you are not looking…
Sometimes progress in space science does not arrive with a flash. It comes quietly, through patient observation, and then settles into place. That is how this new result from NASA’s Imaging X-ray Polarisation Explorer fits. For the first time, the mission has been used to study a white dwarf star, not as a distant point…
Some discoveries arrive quietly, without fireworks or clean endings. Astronomers were watching a distant flare from a galaxy far away, the kind that appears when a star wanders too close to something it should not. The data looked strange, not wrong, just unsettled. Signals rose and fell when they normally stay steady. Over time, a…
