Since bringing an Asteroid's momentum to a complete stop is unfeasible with our current level of technology, and we've yet to construct a sci-fi energy shield around...

It may sound like a Hollywood plot, but what if an Earth-killing asteroid really was barreling towards our planet? That possibility is Something the folks at NASA are taking seriously with their latest mission known as DART.

NASA launches a spacecraft this week whose mission will end in a terrific crash if all goes well. As NPR explains, the space agency on Tuesday will send up a spacecraft for...

Asteroids may be small as compared to Earth, but their destructive power is huge due to momentum imparted to them by their speed. An asteroid struck Earth millions of years ago and ended the reign of dinosaurs. Such a rogue asteroid will very much be capable of ending human civilisation as we know it. Planetary defence hence is an important aspect of our space studies.

James Webb space telescope This Nasa telescope, which is to replace the Hubble, has been subject to many delays – its first planned launch was in 2007. A March 2020 takeoff was delayed due to Covid, while its initial $500m budget has spiralled to more than $10bn (£7.4bn). It is a more sensitive telescope than the Hubble and once operational it will be able to observe the formation of some of the first galaxies. It will be launched on a European Ariane 5 rocket on 31 October. Mars missions Th...
