Blue Origin is preparing for the second launch of its New Glenn rocket, which will carry NASA's ESCAPADE probes to Mars and attempt to recover its booster for the second time, aiming to demonstrate reusability and compete in the heavy-lift launch market. The launch is crucial for Blue Origin's reputation and future contracts, with success potentially reshaping the industry.
Scientists have discovered that Uranus emits more internal heat than it absorbs from the Sun, revealing it still retains ancient heat from its formation, which challenges previous beliefs and supports future NASA exploration efforts.
New research suggests that Uranus and its moons may have hidden oceans and the potential to support life, challenging previous perceptions influenced by Voyager 2's encounter during a solar storm. This revelation, published in Nature Astronomy, highlights the importance of re-examining old data and has prompted NASA to plan a return mission to Uranus, aiming to explore these possibilities further by 2045.
