The astronauts stranded on the International Space Station are still not able to come home, Nasa has said.Two astronauts went to the space station almost 50 days ago as part of a test of Boeing’s Starliner capsule. But the spacecraft was plagued by problems both before and after the launch – and since then engineers have delayed the return until they can understand what went wrong.That work is still not finished and the space agency cannot give a date for them to come back, it said on an update on Wednesday.Test pilots Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams were supposed to visit...

The next 72 hours will be critical to determining just how crowded the International Space Station (ISS) could soon get. This afternoon, the program manager of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program, Steve Stich, will meet with the program manager of the ISS, Dana Weigel. They’ll discuss different options to accommodate, or avoid altogether, tying the record for most people to ever live on the space station at once.

NASA’s Curiosity rover recently made an astonishing discovery on Mars by accidentally crushing a boulder, revealing yellow sulfur crystals. This find is groundbreaking as it marks the first time rocks composed of pure sulfur have been observed on the Red Planet. The conditions required for sulfur crystal formation are typically limited and were not considered present in the region Curiosity explored. Since October 2023, Curiosity has been navigating an area abundant in sulfates, which are sulfur-containing salts formed through water evaporation. While previous detections involved sulfur mixed with other materials, this discovery of elemental sulfur challenges scientists’ understanding of Mars’s geological history. The unexpected nature of this find has sparked excitement among scientists, highlighting the unpredictable and thrilling aspects of planetary exploration.

An international team of astronomers employing NASA’s Webb Space Telescope captured an exoplanet 12 light years away, and in a location that may be familiar to fans of science fiction. The alien planet orbits the K-type star Epsilon Indi A, which is around the same age as Earth’s Sun, but is slightly cooler.

There’s an awful lot of junk floating around in space, with recent estimates suggesting there could be more than 25,000 objects in orbit around the Earth right now. We don’t often get to see this junk up close to find out how a lifetime in space affects man-made objects, until now.

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.
