A video that appeared on CGTN’s Hot Take details four missions that China will be sending to space in the coming years, including a survey telescope that will search for
We’ve been waiting a long time for the Vera Rubin Observatory to begin its work. The observatory features the largest digital camera ever built. It’ll create a time-lapse of the
Environmental and operational parallels and differences between submarines and spacecraft relevant to fungal persistence. Submarines operate under Earth’s gravity and are surrounded by seawater, while spacecraft operate under microgravity, are
The radio telescope LOFAR, with a major contribution from Leiden Observatory, has produced the most detailed radio map of the Universe ever made. Never before have so many cosmic radio
