Scientists Find Strange Black “Superionic Ice” That Could Exist Deep Inside Other Planets
Posted by Saúl Morales Rodriguéz in category: space
Using the Advanced Photon Source, scientists have recreated the structure of ice formed at the center of planets like Neptune.
Neptune is the farthest planet from the sun. In our solar system, it is the fourth-largest planet by size, and third densest. It is named after the Roman god of the sea.

Gas Stations on Mars Could One Day Be a Reality
Posted by Gemechu Taye in categories: energy, space
Scientists are experimenting with technologies for creating rocket fuel on Mars. The studies could also help combat greenhouse gas emissions on Earth.
Humanity’s quest to set foot on Mars is one of its most ambitious and complex endeavors. Yet, despite all the innovative ideas and intricate technology this goal requires, we may be able to achieve it by improving what we already know how to do. A number of research projects attempt to figure out how to we can utilize the exis… See more.

Sun fires off major solar flare from Earth-facing sunspot
Posted by Quinn Sena in categories: particle physics, space
Solar particles blasted out in association with the flare could hit Earth tomorrow (Oct. 29).
A major solar flare erupted from the sun on Thursday (Oct. 28) in the strongest storm yet of our star’s current weather cycle.
The sun fired off an X1-class solar flare, its most powerful kind of flare, that peaked at 11:35 a.m. EDT (1535 GMT), according to an alert from the U.S. Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC), which tracks space weather events.

Gitai successfully demos autonomous robot inside the International Space Station
Posted by Quinn Sena in categories: robotics/AI, space
Tokyo space startup Gitai Japan successfully conducted a technology demonstration of its autonomous robotic arm inside the International Space Station last week, a key milestone as the company prepares to provide robotics as a service in space.
The S1 robotic arm performed two tasks: operating cables and switches, and assembling structures and panels. These tasks — common crew activities — can be used in a general-purpose way for a range of in-space activities. The successful demo raised what NASA calls the “technology readiness level” of the Gitai robot to TRL 7. There are nine TRLs in total and hitting all of them will be critical for Gitai commercializing its robots.
