An Australian company has released images showing how China constructed its Tiangong space station. HEO Robotics specializes in non-Earth imaging, meaning using space-based sensors to acquire images of objects of interest in orbit such as satellites. The firm released images demonstrating some of these capabilities on Aug. 30, showing step-by-step moves made by China to complete its three-module Tiangong space station. More

Chinese officials on Wednesday unveiled new details about their plans for a manned lunar mission, as China attempts to become only the second nation to put citizens on the moon. Two launch vehicles will send a moon surface lander and manned spacecraft into lunar orbit, before they dock with each other, according to state-run Global times. After docking, the Chinese astronauts on board the spacecraft will enter the lander, which is used to descend to the moon’s surface.

Gas observed moving into a massive galaxy offers evidence of material recycling
Bob Yirka| 05 May2023 | phys.org
An international team of space scientists has found that observation of a gas cloud stream heading into a massive galaxy may offer evidence of gas material recycling. In their paper published in the journal Science, the group describes their observance and analysis of a gas cloud surrounding a dense galaxy cluster 11 billion light years away, and what they learned from their work.

One might argue that living in such a challenging environment is also psychologically extreme. And I completely agree. Living here is mentally taxing for many reasons one of which is the detrimental effects microgravity has on human health. However, these astronauts undergo psychological preparation training which they themselves signed up for. More

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has spotted an early yet tantalizing piece of evidence that an exoplanet some 120 light years away could be covered in a massive ocean — that's possibly harboring life. The telescope detected a molecule called dimethyl sulfide (DMS) — which only living organisms can produce, at least here on Earth — on the planet, which is dubbed K2-18 b. More

Jupiter's Great Red Spot is shrinking: Hubble observes the most powerful storm in Solar System
26 July 2022 | NATIONAL SPACE CENTRE
Space Stations have been around since the 1970s when the Soviet Union began to place their prototype Salyut stations in orbit around Earth. We might recall the impressive Soviet Mir space station that provided a home for first British astronaut Helen Sharman when she travelled to space in 1991. And many will have heard of the International Space Station (ISS) – perhaps humankind’s greatest feat of engineering. But the Chinese have been building a space station of their own called Tiangong and it has big plans. More

The investigation of geological features called coronae sheds light on how Venus loses internal heat and gives clues about its volcanic activity. A new study of circular patches across Venus where lava oozes to the surface suggests the planet's youthful appearance is likely due to volcanic activity. This volcanism is also making the rocky outer layers of Venus "squishy" in these spots. More

What if life doesn’t always appear on planets that can support it? What if we find more and more exoplanets and determine that some of them are habitable? What if we also determine that life hasn’t appeared on them yet?
Could we send life-bringing comets to those planets and seed them with terrestrial life? And if we could do that, should we? More
