Galaxies Exhibit Increasing Level of Chaos While Aging

TEHRAN (ANA)- A project led by the Australian research center ASTRO 3D has highlighted age as one of the most crucial drivers in how stars orbit within galaxies, suggesting that the arrangement of stars gets messier over time.

NASA Confirms Revolutionary Dragonfly Mission to Explore Saturn’s Moon, Titan

TEHRAN (ANA)- NASA’s Dragonfly mission, set to explore Saturn’s moon Titan, has progressed to final design and construction stages with a confirmed launch in 2028 and a budget of $3.35 billion.

NASA’s DART Impact Changed Asteroid’s Shape, Orbit

TEHRAN (ANA)- After NASA’s historic Double Asteroid Redirection Test, a JPL-led study has shown that the shape of asteroid Dimorphos has changed and its orbit has shrunk.

Mysterious Galaxy Already Dead When Universe Was Young

TEHRAN (ANA)- When a galaxy runs out of gas and dust, the process of star birth stops. That takes billions of years but, there's a galaxy out there that was already dead when the Universe was only 700 million years old, the University of Cambridge found.

Webb Space Telescope Unlocks Icy Secrets of Neptune’s Birth

TEHRAN (ANA)- Researchers studying the binary asteroid Mors-Somnus in the Kuiper Belt have used the James Webb Space Telescope to gather unique data on trans-Neptunian objects, offering new insights into the formation of Neptune and the outer solar system’s dynamics.

Iranian Scientists to Build Satellite Constellation for 2 Simultaneous Missions

TEHRAN (ANA)- Iranian researchers at a knowledge-based company active in the design and construction of sensing and telecommunication satellites are trying to make a satellite constellation that simultaneously performs two remote sensing and telecommunication missions.

SpaceX Launches 22 More Starlink Internet Satellites into Space

TEHRAN (ANA)- U.S. private space company SpaceX launched 22 more Starlink satellites into orbit.

Scientists Record Solar Plasmas to Prevent Space Weather Damage

TEHRAN (ANA)- Using spectral imaging data of China's first solar exploration satellite, Xihe, a group of Chinese physicists constructed three-dimensional velocity diagrams of two kinds of plasmas in the sun's atmosphere.

Scientists Discover Special Binary Gravitational Wave Source with Shortest Orbital Period
