NASA discovers “Super Earth” with Possibility of Water

NASA has discovered the planet TOI-1846 b. It is almost twice the size of Earth and four times more massive. The planet is emitting a repeating signal. The planet orbits a red dwarf star every four days. It lies 154 light-years away from Earth.  Signal caught by TESS It orbits a small, cool red dwarf star closely. The orbit is tight, taking only about four days to complete a revolution. This tight orbit causes a strange, repeated dimming of the star’s light. This signal first caught the attention of scientists. NASA's TESS space telescope observed a dimming pattern in March…

Will Sunita Williams Receive Extra Compensation for Her Unexpectedly Long Space Mission?

Indian-American astronaut Sunita Williams recently returned to Earth on March 18, 2025. She had spent over nine months in space and is currently undergoing rehabilitation. She was originally assigned to a two-week mission aboard Boeing’s first crewed Starliner flight with fellow astronaut Butch Wilmore. However, their journey extended to 262 days because of persistent technical issues. This has sparked curiosity about whether Williams will receive additional pay for her prolonged mission. NASA’s Pay Structure: What Astronauts Earn in Space NASA's pay structure for astronauts typically ranges between $100,000 and $161,000 annually, depending on rank and experience. Time spent in space…

NASA Astronaut Sunita Williams Return Delayed Again

NASA astronaut Sunita Williams’ long-awaited return from the International Space Station (ISS) has been postponed once more. This is due to a delay in SpaceX’s Crew-10 mission. Williams and fellow astronaut Butch Wilmore originally planned for an eight-day mission. However, they have now spent nine months aboard the ISS. This is due to safety concerns with Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft. The Crew-10 mission was intended to bring a new team of astronauts to the ISS. It would also allow Williams and Wilmore to return. The launch was scheduled but was scrubbed due to a technical issue. The problem was with a…

NASA Tracks 2024 YR4: India, Pakistan at High Risk

Collision Risk Rises to 2.3% as Impact Corridor Spans Multiple Continents The rising probability of a collision has prompted international efforts. These efforts focus on monitoring the asteroid more closely. They also aim to develop strategies to protect vulnerable populations in the potential impact zone. Scientists continue to refine their estimates and track the asteroid’s path. This evolving situation serves as a stark reminder of the need for robust planetary defense measures. The importance of these measures grows in an increasingly uncertain cosmic environment. Asteroid 2024 YR4 was discovered last December. It is now drawing increased global attention. Its collision…
