Water found under Mars

Image
 Water has been found under Mars in historic discovery. This has been discovered by the TGO.  Trace Gas Orbiter. It was discovered 15 December by the ESA under the Valles Marineris Canyon System. The area was ten times the length of the grand canyon and five times as deep. Previously it had only been discovered on mars as ice. 

SpaceX Plans To Test First Orbital Starship Flight In January 2022

Reported first by  TechCrunch ,  Musk In a joint meeting of space research boards -- Space Studies Board and the Board on Physics and Astronomy -- revealed that SpaceX is aiming for the first Starship orbital flight to take place sometime in January next year. Musk aims to complete the work on the pad and the launch tower at Starbase in Boca Chica, Texas, and with the first orbital launch in January 2022, will follow a dozen more launches throughout the year.   Musk didn’t shy away from admitting that there was a “lot of risk” and that the launch could not be successful. However, Musk said the team would at least “make a lot of progress”.   The timing is also based on an FAA environment impact review of the aforementioned facility, and any delays in the completion of the review could push back launch dates further.

China begins surveying Mars from above

  China, which this year became the only country to orbit, land and move around a rover on another planet in a maiden attempt, has begun surveying Mars. The mission began with Tianwen-1 changing its orbit to launch global remote sensing exploration of the Red Planet. The orbiter has been circling the planet thrice every Martian day or Sol while relaying communication between Earth and the Zhurong rover on the ground. In a bid to begin a remote sensing mission, engineers revved up the speed of the orbiter by 78 meters per second shifting the orbit time around the planet. The orbiter that was initially used to complete one orbit in eight hours and 12 minutes, can now circle the planet in seven hours and five minutes, coming as close as 265 km to the planet.

Heinz begins new range of sauce that is created in the same conditions as Mars. Created by Astrobiologists in a special greenhouse called the redhouse. The redhouse simulates conditions on Mars with heat and soil differences. The special sauce is named the no 57 range. Will not be for sale to the public but will be launched to the international space station ISS.

Scientists warn of possible ‘apocalypse’- Here’s why T20 World Cup 2021: Would love to have Virat Kohli walk into our dressing room for… By instructing NASA's Mars Curiosity rover to mix a sample of Martian dirt with chemical reagents inside a cup, a team of researchers successfully analysed a sample of Martian dirt initially picked up by the rover in March 2017. © Provided by WION According to Inverse, this combination then produced organic molecules that NASA has never discovered on the surface of Mars previously. While this is an intriguing discovery, it does not prove that carbon-based life existed on Mars' surface. However, it is a step in the right direction.  "This experiment was successful," MaĆ«va Millan, a postdoctoral fellow at NASA’s Goddard Spaceflight Center and lead author o

How to use NASA's APOD API

Image
  Nasa publishes one astronomy-related picture(or videos sometimes) every day, i.e., Astronomy Picture of the Day. But do you know? That there is an API that lets you access that information, and you can make a website out of it? So I recently tried doing that, and   this   is what I was able to come up with. And here are the steps so you can do it too. 1.Get your API key: You can get your unique API key from  https://api.nasa.gov/  .What you need to do is just sign up and this website will generate your API key. We will need this key to use this API which has an Hourly Limit of 1,000 requests per hour. 2.Let's get done with HTML first There are a few things for which we want to make space in our HTML Doc. And those things are title, date picker, date(yyyy-mm-dd), copyright, image/video URL, HD URL in case of the image, explanation about image or video, and footer if you want to add your social handles or something. so this will be our code inside the  <body>  of the HTML. &
