Oman is strategically positioning itself as a global space launch hub, leveraging its equatorial proximity and coastal ...

The platter is a 23mm high-mass phenolic model that the firm says delivers smoother rotation and tighter speed stability that you'd normally only find in much more expensive models. There's also a ...

Celestis, which recently conducted a mission from California, will send cremated remains or human DNA to outer space for ...

Celestis says it's the 1st company to offer space burials. Some remains, from "Star Trek" actors to JFK, have flown to orbit ...

Of the moon, we always see a hemisphere and a little more because its rotation is synchronous and blocked by the tide. This means that one lunar rotation on its axis corresponds to the time of ...

The remains of more than 160 deceased people reached orbit yesterday on a spacecraft that hitched a ride on a SpaceX rocket.

An experimental demonstration of induced rotation of a rectangular magnet floating above a superconducting ring is described. Synchronism between the rotating and the applied alternating magnetic ...

As a result, the planet orbiting the white dwarf has a much shorter rotation period of just ten hours. Meanwhile, the Kepler-62 planet takes 155 days to complete one rotation. Both exoplanets likely ...

While both planets would likely be locked into a synchronous orbit — with a permanent dayside and a perpetual nightside — the ultrafast white dwarf planet’s rotation stretches out the cloud ...

"We expect synchronous rotation of an exoplanet in the habitable zone of a normal star like Kepler-62 to create more cloud cover on the planet's dayside, reflecting incoming radiation away from ...
