The partnership aims at building infrastructures, such as landing pads, habitats, and roads on the lunar surface.

In a quest to find practical solutions to build sustainable structures on the moon, NASA has furthered its partnership with ICON, a construction technologies company based in Austin, Texas. The firm is known for building the first-ever habitable 3D-printed home in the United States in 2018.

Lifeboat Earth appears tiny in the immense blackness of space, a compelling and iconic image.

This is Lifeboat Earth, currently, the only known place where life exists in The Universe., and we are putting it at risk.

Ideas for quantum computing change the way we think about space and time.

Icon co-founder Jason Ballard says the NASA moon project is something Icon’s leaders “want to do on behalf of humanity.”

This glittering star cluster lives so close to the center of our galaxy that tidal forces are stripping away its outermost stars.

A new study equates a green view and the proximity of green space with better mental health in urban settings.

The space elevator — a structure that reaches into the sky — might feel like a distant, farfetched concept, but it could be closer than we think. In an op-ed for Scientific American.

In an op-ed for Scientific American, Physics professor Stephen Cohen at Vanier College in Montreal, Quebec, said he believes the sci-fi-like technology could be a reality within “the next two or three decades.”

Further studies of the meteorite are in peril, though.

A meteorite that fell in Somalia in 2020 is home to at least two minerals that are not found on our planet. The two minerals were identified by researchers at the University of Alberta, a press release said.

Large meteorites are rare but do occur, such as the one that fell near the town of El Ali in Somalia a couple of years ago. The celestial piece of rock weighs a massive 16.
