The largest moon of Saturn is an unique habitat in our Solar System. It appears to be a world different from our own, with its methane-filled lakes, freezing volcanoes, and underground tunnels. However, Titan’s first geomorphological map demonstrates that, while its landscape is spectacular and diverse, these elements actually make it surprisingly similar to Earth.…

One of Stephen Hawking’s most famous hypotheses on dark matter — that this mysterious and invisible element is made up of primordial black holes — was recently destroyed. A massive telescope took an image of a whole galaxy in one shot, leading to this conclusion. The findings do not completely invalidate Stephen Hawking’s famous hypothesis.…

New simulations suggest that when two stars collide, the resulting product can be extremely magnetic, and it may ultimately wind up as a magnetar.   These snapshots of two merging stars in action show the overall strength of the magnetic field in color (yellow is more magnetic), as well as the magnetic field lines (hatching).…

Two highly promising concepts are being funded by the NASA Institute for Advanced Concepts (NIAC). In terms of ISP and power levels, the new ion drives could have been five times better. The development of multi-megawatt ion engines and antimatter propulsion is ongoing. Propulsion and Speed in Space What is the fastest spacecraft we have…

The DEFENTURE’s Groundforce (GRF) system has already been introduced in and is fully verified by the Dutch Army and forms the basis for the planned LuLa vehicle family.   The GRF is a truly MOTS (military of the shelf platform) with a weight of five tons and a payload of two tons, the platform is…

Welcome back to the Daily Aviation for a feature on one of the most elusive fighter aircraft ever built, the F-22 Raptor which is only operated by the US Air Force in order to protect its stealth features. US $100 Million F-22 Jet Shows Off Insane Thrust Vectoring Nozzles    

By calculating the distance from the sun to thousands of pulsating stars across the Milky Way, astronomers have now charted our galaxy in 3D on a larger scale than ever before, a new study finds.These new findings shed light on the warped, twisted shape of the galaxy’s disk, researchers added. The Milky Way is a…

This is Valles Marieris, and it is one of the Solar System’s largest cayos. It’s deeper than the Grand Cayo, and its length encircles the United States from coast to coast. Credit: NASA        

Every once in a while, a stellar cataclysm occurs in our Universe, bringing the life of a star to an end. The most common type of cataclysm is a core-collapse supernova, where a massive star’s interior implodes, leading to a runaway fusion reaction and a tremendous explosion, where the energy emitted by the star can…

Two galaxies collectively known as IC 1623 are seen merging together in these images from Hubble (left) and NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (right). Their collision has ignited a frenzy of starbirth, creating new stars at a rate more than twenty times than that of our Milky Way Galaxy! Hubble’s view shows this interaction in…
