Welcome to Future Space World, a place where we connect the present with the future.
Astronomers just received short and rapid bursts of radio waves which traveled billions of light years from distant galaxies to arrive on Earth. The fast radio burst is emitted in one millisecond, the same amount of energy that the Sun generates over several weeks. Scientists were amazed by this discovery as they had never seen…
Astronomers have been curious to find another civilization sharing the Milky Way galaxy with us. Hence, ever since we commenced space exploration, scientists have continued to observe the Universe with the hope that they could spot something extraordinary. After years of searching, astronomers have discovered something that has never been seen before. In a recent…
On February 27th, Blue Origin announced its plan for the forthcoming New Shepard’s 31st Mission. The American commercial aerospace company wants to fly the first all female crew into space this Spring. This mission named NS-31 will carry its six crew to experience weightlessness for a short duration before returning them to Earth. The NS-31…
On Feb. 20th, 2025, Elon Musk wrote on X expressing how he wants the International Space Station to be deorbited as soon as possible to enable America to focus more on landing humans on Mars. Someone later asked him to clarify further on this. Musk suggested that the orbiting laboratory should retire to point Nemo…
On December 27, 2024, astronomers discovered asteroid 2024 YR4. After its discovery, scientists began to track its movement to learn if it stands a chance of hitting Earth anytime soon. Weeks of study enabled astronomers to understand that the city-destroyer asteroid stands a 2.3% chance of impacting Earth in the year 2032. While many scientists…
If you have seen the Pale Blue Dot image of Earth, you may have always wondered about the inspiring story behind it. The Pale Blue Dot is simply an image of Earth captured by NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft on Feb. 14, 1990. However, we would not have seen such an inspiring image if not for…
Most people will look at the current state of Venus and conclude that the Hellish planet is permanently out of reach for humankind and our technologies. With its scorching surface temperature of 870 degrees Fahrenheit or about 465 degrees Celsius, no form of living organism known to earthlings could survive on Venus. Most scientists suggest…
Sending humans to Mars has remained the primary goal of space agencies like NASA, CNSA, and many others. However, these space agencies need to consider other options for reaching the red planet much faster than traditional chemical rockets. Ad Astra, a Costa Rica and U.S.-based company recently announced that it has completed a record 88-hour…
Black holes often get messy after they consume a nearby star. Scientists recently spotted a supermassive black hole consuming a massive star that moved close to its event horizon. The recent astronomical event was known as ASASSN-14li and the massive black hole ejected the consumed star after destroying it. In general, black holes often pose…
Space rocks have been making their way into our home planet on various occasions. On February 12, at around 10 pm EST (0300 GMT, February 13), a space rock burned up through Earth’s atmosphere and made its way over Europe. A few hours after this dramatic event, a space-focus citizen science volunteer group found a…
