The Milky Way is a breathtaking example of the wonders of cosmic creation within the vast and mysterious realm of the cosmos. The Milky Way’s music has been discovered by scientists and artists alike as they have investigated additional sensory qualities of the galaxy beyond the visual spectacle. This article will take readers on a ...
Have you ever dreamed of gazing down at Earth from the comfort of your room? As space travel becomes more accessible, companies plan to build the first-ever space hotel. Developers envision a rotating space station with artificial gravity that will provide stunning views of Earth and space. While significant technical and safety hurdles remain, the ...
A world-first study has revealed how space travel can cause lower red blood cell counts, known as space anemia. Analysis of 14 astronauts showed their bodies destroyed 54 percent more red blood cells in space than they normally would on Earth.

The historic NASA Twins Study investigated identical twin astronauts Scott and Mark Kelly and provided new information on the health effects of spending time in space. Colorado State University Professor Susan Bailey was one of more than 80 scientists across 12 universities who conducted research on the textbook experiment; Mark remained on Earth while Scott orbited high ...
It appears that gravity affects genes Living at low gravity affects cells at the genetic level, according to a study of worms in space. Genetic analysis of Caenorhabditis elegans worms on the International Space Station showed “subtle changes” in about 1,000 genes. Gravity affects genes in the low gravity conditions of space travel Stronger effects were found in some ...
Artificial gravity has long been the stuff of science fiction. Picture the wheel-shaped ships from films like 2001: A Space Odyssey and The Martian, imaginary craft that generate their gravity by spinning around in space. Now, a team from CU Boulder is working to make those out-there technologies a reality. The researchers, led by aerospace ...
NASA’s Voyager 2 probe, currently on a journey toward interstellar space, has detected an increase in cosmic rays that originate outside our solar system. Launched in 1977, Voyager 2 is a little less than 11 billion miles (about 17.7 billion kilometers) from Earth, or more than 118 times the distance from the Earth to the ...
If you think that the entire universe is made up of matter that can be seen or detected, you are dead wrong. In fact, almost 85 percent of the matter present in the universe is thought to be composed of “dark matter,” a form of matter that scientists are yet to directly observe. Dark matter ...
