Global warming: 2023 is confirmed as the hottest year on record by several science agencies. [35] NASA reports a figure of 1.4 degrees Celsius above the late 19th century average, when modern record-keeping began. [36] NOAA reports a figure of 1.35 degrees Celsius. [37] Berkeley Earth reports a figure of 1.54 degrees Celsius. [38]
Space exploration, like its classical form astronomy, is one of the main sources for space science. While the observation of objects in space, known as astronomy , predates reliable recorded history , it was the development of large and relatively efficient rockets during the mid-twentieth century that allowed physical space exploration to ...
NASA plans a return of humans to the Moon by 2025. The first uncrewed launch of the Space Launch System happened in 2022. [1] The first crewed launch is planned for September 2025. [2] In addition NASA plans to assemble the Lunar Gateway in lunar orbit. A crewed exploration of Mars could follow in the mid 2030s.
NASA's Space Launch System rocket is seen atop pad 39B at the Kennedy Space Center before its maiden flight in 2022. Its second flight, carrying a crew of four, is scheduled for launch in April 2026.
From a total solar eclipse to a near-global Northern Lights display, it was a big year for the Sun and the impacts of space weather on Earth. The Sun is always the center of attention in our solar ...
A new record was set for the largest number of humans in orbit (14) on 16 September 2021, [9] and a new record for the largest number of humans in space (19) at one time (10 in the ISS, 3 on board the Tiangong Space Station, 6 on board New Shepard-19) was set on 11 December 2021. [10]
Spaceflight in 2025 promises to follow the 2020s trend of record breaking orbital launches (with at least 300 expected) and increased developments in lunar, Mars and low-earth orbit exploration.
NASA's IMAP probe will launch toward Lagrange point 1 to collect interstellar dust and investigate space weather. [2] The Venus Life Finder spacecraft is expected to arrive at Venus. [3] [4] The Vera C. Rubin Observatory is expected to begin science operations in late 2025. [5] [6] Science-related budgets
