A planet only 40 light-years away was discovered by NASA with the Spitzer Space Telescope. These orbit the star TRAPPIST-1. Of the seven planets in this system, as many as three meet the characteristics that life could exist on them, or that all the conditions for the formation of life are met.

In the 1946 film It's a Wonderful Life, George Bailey asks Mary if she wants the moon and tells her to just say so and he'll throw a lasso around her and pull her down to Earth. Today it's a little easier, because Sonja Waldraff has made jewelry that is a mini replica of the Moon. How much, as evidenced by the fact that the Mondschatz space jewelry collection was created on the basis of NASA's topographical map of the Moon.
No, these are not the spacesuits from the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey, this is a new model of clothing for astronauts from the American space agency Nasa. The new spacesuit is named Boeing Starliner, after the spacecraft that astronauts will use for trips to space in the near future.
Photographer Benedict Redgrove got exclusive access to the premises of the American space agency Nasa, where he took stunning photos of their present and past 'railway'.
Want a replica of the golden gramophone record that explains humanity to aliens? In 1977, the American agency NASA had a big dream. They wanted to find the Aliens and make contact with them. With this purpose, the probes Voyager I and Voyager II were sent into space, which also carried a time capsule in the form of a golden gramophone record, which carries images of our civilization and teaches about humanity. Among other things, about how we reproduce, how we transport ourselves and what we eat. We greet the aliens in 55 languages (also in Serbo-Croatian, which was the official language of Yugoslavia at the time: "We wish you all the best from our planet"), and they can also play different genres of music and typical sounds of our planet. There are playback instructions on the back of the disc. On the 40th anniversary of the launch, you can for approx. For 90 euros, consider the jubilee replica of The Voyager Golden Record: 40th Anniversary Edition, which also comes with a book.
Mars as you have never known it! We have been led to believe that Mars is red. Last but not least, we also call it the red planet. But as you can see in the new NASA images (in total, the American space agency has published as many as 1035 never-before-seen photos from space), the latest and most stunning photos of the planet Mars tell a different story and show that we have been living in error all our lives! Mars is much more colorful than we thought! Mountains, rivers, fluffy clouds, lakes and a kingdom of colors... no, we are not talking about our Earth, we are still at Mars. Get to know him in a whole new light.
Just when we thought that the northern lights (aurora borealis) couldn't get any more exciting, NASA surprises us with a video of this natural phenomenon, which has published a video showing the characteristic reddish-greenish light that usually illuminates the sky of the North and South Poles , we admire from the air, and in 4K technology. Check out what the Northern Lights look like from space!
Nasa's QueSST Passenger Jet will be the second supersonic passenger jet after the Concorde, which was retired in 2003, or the third if we include the Soviet Tupolev Tu-144 (1977), which was in commercial use for only seven months, which is a drop in sea compared to Concord's twenty-seven years of service. Since 2003, jet passenger planes have not been flying in the air, that is, planes that fly faster than sound, but thanks to the American space agency NASA, we are one step closer to the return of these steel birds. Namely, they unveiled the design for Concorde's successor, the QueSST Passenger Jet, a silent supersonic passenger jet, the first of NASA's upcoming new series of X-planes.
The US space agency Nasa has unveiled a new series of retro posters advertising trips to Jupiter, Mars and beyond. It is a continuation of last year's series of posters advertising space tourism and travel to distant worlds, created with NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
Are you interested in what an "excursion" to Mars looks like? NASA takes you across the surface of the red planet with a video of a 360-degree panorama from the perspective of the Curiosity rover. In the video, you can see the varied surface of Mars - both sand dunes and rocky surfaces.
If in 1960 the first woman who wanted to become an astronaut was rejected at NASA, today women are writing a new history of flights into space. Half of NASA's future astronauts who have trained at the training center for the past two years are women. Will they also become members of the first human expedition to Mars?
