Water On the Moon
Experts have long suspected there was water on the moon. Confirmation came from data churned up by two Nasa spacecraft that intentionally slammed into a lunar crater last month. “Indeed, yes, we found water. And we didn’t find just a little bit. We found a significant amount,” said Anthony Colaprete, the principal investigator for Nasa’s [...]
Earth-Type Planets
About 400 “extrasolar” planets orbiting nearby stars have been detected since 1995, starting with a discovery made by the same team, led by Switzerland’s Michel Mayor, of a Jupiter-sized planet orbiting the star 51 Pegasi, 50 light-years away. (One light-year is about 5.9 trillion miles.), usatoday.com reports. “We are on the good track to detect [...]
Nano Technology and Space
According to ScienceDaily there is a new type of rocket propellant made of a frozen mixture of water and “nanoscale aluminum” powder that is more environmentally friendly than conventional propellants and could be manufactured on the moon, Mars and other water-bearing bodies. The aluminum-ice, or ALICE, propellant might be used to launch rockets into orbit [...]
The Sun "Announced" Global Cataclysm
Canadian scientists reported about the sun intensive nuclear fusion. The researchers recorded the acceleration of fusion reaction of light nuclei into heavier nuclei, which occurs at ultra-high temperature and accompanied with a huge amounts of energy. According to scientific concepts, the main source of energy of the sun and other stars is nuclear fusion reaction. [...]
The Smallest Robot in the World
Bruce Donald and his colleagues, engineers and computer scientists from Dartmouth College have built the smallest robot in the world which is the thickness of human hair and shorter than the sharp point of a thumb tack, integrated in a small package, wireless powered and controlled. However, the robot takes over ten thousand steps a [...]
Earthquakes 2009
Statistic shows that earthquakes have become more often, more massive and more unpredicted during last years.

Try To Find Out Polar Lander
You cant try youeself helping to find out Polar Lander which have crashed in 1999, on Mars. Here are links to the pages providing information and downloads for images of an area where the Mars Polar Lander is suspected to have crashed. MPL was the first mission to the high latitudes of Mars, but failed [...]
LCROSS reached the Moon
On Tuesday, June 23, Toda LCROSS executed a swingby of the Moon, NASA reports. LCROSS reached periselene, its closest approach, at 10:30:33 UT, with the spacecraft passing 1,988 miles (3200 km) from the Moon. The flyby resulted in a gravity assist from the Moon which put LCROSS into its cruise Lunar Gravity Assist Lunar Return [...]
