The photo has over 11 lakh likes as of now.
Scientists have put serious doubts about a large asteroid strike claim. This is what a chief scientist believes caused the miscalculation in assessing the risk. The findings came after he and his team used satellite images to re-examine the weathered remains of some of the largest impact craters.
The space launch system core stage for the artemis 2 crewed mission around the moon was assembled on March 17, 2023. It will use a rocket core stage that is nearly ready, aside from its four RS-25 engines, which will be popped on shortly. In less than two weeks, on April 3, it will take NASA 2 years to send astronauts to the moon.
All five of the core stage’s major structures have been put together, according to the space agency. The engine section is the most complex part of the rocket stage, helping to power artemis missions to the moon. It connects the RS-25 engines with the two solid rocket boosters.
The asteroid, 2023 DZ2, was discovered in february by astronomers at the observatory of la Palma, in the canary Islands, Spain. It could be anywhere from 134 to 305 feet. Astronomer says it will have its closest approach on Saturday, March 25 at approximately 3:51 p.m. ET.
Two teams of astronomers have released images of the collision’s aftermath taken by the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope. They found that th e ejected cloud of debris from the asteroid appeared more blue than the space rock itself. As time passed after the crash, the debris formed a tail and clumps that may have been made up of larger particles.

The lunar far side of the moon is the perfect place for a radio telescope like LuSEE-Night, because it is protected from the constant barrage of radio waves emanating from Earth’s surface. The moon lacks a strong ionosphere, which can interfere with incoming radio waves a telescope may capture.
The suit will be worn during the artemis III mission, the program’s first moon landing, which is scheduled for 2025. It is called the Axiom Extravehicular Mobility Unit.
The new suits are designed for the first astronauts to venture back to the moon's surface in the next few years. They will be designed to fit a broad range of potential wearers, accommodating at least 90% of the u.s. Male and female population. The suits will also incorporate advances in life-support systems and pressure garments.

Noise levels were recorded using five different microphones located between 0.9 miles and 3.2 miles (1.5 to 5.2 kilometers) from launch pad 39B at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Noise levels at each of the five microphones exceeded those predicted to be created by the launch of NASA's Space Launch System (SLS) rocket.

The results of this experiment will help shed light on how humans and other organisms might respond to space travel.
The Geminids meteor shower is one of the best and most constant annual meteor showers. It is made up of fragments of rock comets that pass close to Earth once a year. According to NASA, these meteors move at 78,000 mph and are 1000 times faster than a cheetah. They are expected to be active from November 19 to December 24, 2022.
Coolant coolant leak could have been caused by tiny meteoroid strike, Russian space official says. NASA and Russian space agency say no astronauts were endangered by the leak. The coolant spewed from a radiator cooling loop on the exterior of Russia’s Soyuz MS-22 spacecraft. The leak forced mission control officers in Moscow to call off a planned spacewalk.
