Apollo 8 is setting ground-work for Apollo 11 as Christmas Day arrived. Three astronauts Frank Borman, James Lovell, and William celebrated Christmas day in space. A very rare experience by people. Celebrating Christmas day in space with three people only is interesting and sometimes sad as you far away from people on earth. For such occasion, one astronaut said, “The vast loneliness up here... 

Hubble Space Telescope captured, Sharples 2-106, a bipolar shaped new forming star in our milky way galaxy. Sharples 2-106 looks like a snow angel in deep space. The images are stunning, colorful but depicts violent scene in deep space. Sharples 2-106 is located in the isolated part in the direction of the constellation of Cygnus with 2,000 light years away. The new forming star consists of gas clouds... 

A video was released earlier this year to give tribute to the Hubble Space Telescope. David Schombert added music effects to the video and made it everlasting.The video, infact is a journey to space. Video and the music take viewers to the space and make them feel a part of the trip. It will force you down to praise ALLAH for his magnificent creation. Its a master piece, you will really enjoy watching... 

NASA started Voyager Interstellar Mission (VIM) in 1977 to explore Jupiter and Saturn but extended to explore solar system beyond the Sun’s sphere of influence. NASA launched two spacecrafts named Voyager 1 and 2 for Voyager Interstellar Mission (VIM). The two spacecrafts are exploring the area near ”Heliosheath” where nothing has flown before.  “Heliosheath” is the... 

NASA launched a project earlier called “NASA’s Kepler Mission”. Well it achieved the goal. The mission discovered a new earth like planet which orbits in the “habitable zone”. Habitable zone is the area where liquid water can exist. So we may say a great discovery, isn’t? Douglas Hudgins, Kepler program scientist said, “This is a major milestone on the road... 

Fobos-Grunt, the Russian space probe has failed to reach Martian moon.  Fobos-Grunt was launched on Nov. 9 this year but it got stuck in the earth’s orbit with 200km (perigee) and 340km (apogee). European Space Agency scientists kept making efforts to revive it but they are not successful. Many efforts are made to revive it, commands are sent, receive data back but nothing really happened...

NASA is going to launch its most advanced Rover named Curiosity to Mars on 25, November 2011.  Atlas V rocket will carry Curiosity to Mars which is ready at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. Its weight is one ton. Cameras and laser firing instruments are placed over a 7 feet long mast. It is capable of studying targets from a long distance. For close up studies it uses a7 feet long... 

DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) is guiding scientists to make Frankensteinian satellites  using dead communication equipment orbiting the earth. Its a better solution for over 19000 different pieces of space debris to re-use them instead of wasting. This solution on other hand, will secure space flights and expensive items like the Hubble space telescope. Figure shows Space...
