Ariane 5 doesn't want to fly away. It knows it's for good - OuterSpace24

This was to be the one hundred and seventeenth and at the same time the last ever flight of the already legendary Ariane 5 rocket, so it’s no surprise that the eyes of the entire space sector were on the spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana, today. The launch, however, will not take place today. Evidently, […]

A new explanation for planet formation? Why not! - OuterSpace24

If you want to find out how small planets might form, there is only one place you can turn to. Protoplanetary disks encircling young stars – this is where the scientists from University of Warwick in England had to look to find new information about processes within the discs of swirling gas and dust. They […]

James Webb Space Telescope looks at Saturn. What a mesmerizing photo! - OuterSpace24

The main task of the James Webb Space Telescope, thanks to its infrared observation capabilities, is to look into the most remote regions of the universe and search for the first galaxies that appeared just a few hundred million years after the Big Bang. But that doesn’t change the fact that astronomers and planetologists, whose […]

Ingenuity phones home! Well, that was a long stretch of silence - OuterSpace24

It’s hard to believe today that just two years ago, shortly after the Perseverance rover landed on Mars, engineers were giving the first drone on the Red Planet a maximum of 30 days to live. Time flies, months pass, years pass, and this one still has no intention of letting go. Ingenuity arrived on Mars […]

Funny! After writing about #space and #astronomy for eight years in Polish, I decided to create an English language astro website. I know the competition is crazy and the outlook for a simple news website is well, not very positive, but who cares. I love writing that. To get readers, had to create FB, TT, IG account for it. TT decided that I am a bot after just five tweets, so I thought: maybe I'll just try Mastodon. And I did.
OuterSpace24's first subscriber was on Mastodon. First visitor too
Up, up and away! Euclid is on its way to study the dark universe - OuterSpace24

Vision of the future: flying above the surface of Titan - OuterSpace24

At NASA, work on more near and far space missions is going on almost constantly. However, some scientists are engaged in preparing concepts for space missions that will not be possible for a very long time. On the one hand, the authors of such concepts do not have to limit themselves to today’s technologies, and […]
