Cosmos 482, an old Soviet spacecraft, likely fell from the sky early Saturday morning, according to the European Space Agency. The space object, also known as Kosmos 482, was sent toward Venus more than 50 years ago to study its environment, but it failed and instead remained trapped in Earth orbit for decades. Cosmos 482…
Cosmos 482, a piece of an old Soviet spacecraft, is expected to fall back to Earth around May 10, more than 50 years after it was sent toward Venus, CNN reported.

Saturn is famous for its rings, which make it look different from all the other planets in our solar system. However, the rings are likely to âdisappearâ in a few months. In March 2025, Saturn’s rings will no longer be visible from Earth due to the planetâs axis tilt, which will align the rings from…
Scientists believe vast amounts of water may be stored within Marsâ crust. A retired NASA mission uncovered signs of significant underground water on the Red Planet, a recent study suggests. The water would possibly be enough to create oceans if it were on the surface, CNN reported. The study mentions that astronauts aiming to reach…
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) continues to share images from space of celestial bodies, planets, nebula, moon, star clusters, interacting galaxies, etc. Most of these images are captured by NASA’s James Webb Telescope, NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, and NASA’s Chandra Space-based observatory. Here are a few images from space shared by NASA so…
NASA News: The Curiosity rover made its most unusual discovery on Mars: rocks made of pure sulfur. The rover drove over a rock and cracked it open, revealing yellowish-green crystals which had never been seen before on Mars. Ashwin Vasavada, the Curiosity project scientist at NASA‘s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), called it the Mars mission’s…
