A NASA probe ventured closer to the sun than any spacecraft in history on Christmas Eve — and it whirled by at astounding speeds that also made it the fastest thing ever made by humans. Just ...
The Parker Solar Probe (PSP; previously Solar Probe, Solar Probe Plus or Solar Probe+) [6] is a NASA space probe launched in 2018 to make observations of the Sun's outer corona. It used repeated gravity assists from Venus to develop an eccentric orbit, approaching within 9.86 solar radii (6.9 million km or 4.3 million miles) [ 7 ] [ 8 ] from ...
The Parker Solar Probe is also the fastest thing ever made on Earth. Nasa said the mission operations team at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel , Maryland , received the ...
In Project Hail Mary, also by Weir, the protagonist's spaceship uses a constant 1.5 g acceleration spin drive to travel between the Solar System, Tau Ceti and 40 Eridani. Explorers on the Moon, one of the Adventures of Tintin series of comic albums by Hergé, features a crewed Moon rocket with an unspecified 'atomic rocket motor'. The ship ...
PSR J1748−2446ad is the fastest-spinning pulsar known, at 716 Hz (times per second), [2] or 42,960 revolutions per minute.This pulsar was discovered by Jason W. T. Hessels of McGill University on November 10, 2004, and confirmed on January 8, 2005.
The most powerful telescope to be launched into space has made history by detecting a record number of new stars in a distant galaxy. NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, history's largest and most ...
