Officials have announced that South Korea will launch its indigenous Nuri rocket on Thursday, a day after the launch was postponed due to a technical malfunction just hours before liftoff. It will be the third launch of the Nuri, which successfully launched test payloads into orbit last year after its third-stage engine prematurely burned out in 2021. A communication error between the launch control computer and another computer managing the launch site led to the cancellation of Wednesday's launch. This issue was resolved on Thursday morning, according to officials, who reported that the Nuri is now operational. After a delay, South Korea will launch a rocket it made itself. Vice minister Oh Tae-seog stated, "The Ministry of Science and ICT made the final decision to p...

Following its launch on a Soyuz rocket at 8:56 a.m. (5:56 p.m. Baikonur time) from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, the unmanned Roscosmos Progress 84 spacecraft arrived at the Poisk module of the International Space Station at 12:19 p.m. EDT on Wednesday, May 24. The cargo ship Progress is now transporting around three tons' worth of provisions, fuel, and supplies to the International Space Station on behalf of the Expedition 69 crew.

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) found another crowded galaxy 25 million light-years distant. Researchers estimate GS-9209, the oldest known galaxy, developed 600 to 800 million years after the Big Bang. "The James Webb Space Telescope has already demonstrated that galaxies were growing larger and earlier than we ever suspected during the first billion years of cosmic history," stated lead researcher Dr. Adam Carnall of Edinburgh's School of Physics and Astronomy. The world's most costly telescope revealed GS-9209's characteristics for the first time. GS-9209, which formed as many stars as our Milky Way 800 million years after the Big Bang, is the first early galaxy to be studied in detail. The discovery of a huge black hole in this galaxy was a surprise and sup...

As locals and travelers enter Mississippi from Louisiana, they observe a massive Saturn V rocket, which was used to send the first man to the moon in 1969. As space-age thrill-seekers enter the INFINITY Science Center that houses the rocket, they will find an exhibit showcasing some of the most breathtaking high-resolution images of stars, galaxies, and planets captured by the Hubble Space Telescope. This exhibit represents the center's educational mission to bring science to the masses. "I would describe us as a one-stop shop for all things STEM," said the center's chief executive officer, Michelle Coleman Anderson. The Hubble Traveling Exhibit is a 2,200-square-foot traveling NASA exhibit featuring a scale model of the Hubble and artifacts from the satellite's history, as well ...
