UT Austin Researchers Uncover Key Link in Early Martian Water Cycle
Graduate students from The University of Texas at Austin have made a significant breakthrough in understanding Mars' ancient water cycle, filling a crucial gap in the link between surface water and groundwater.
Mohammad Afzal Shadab and Eric Hiatt developed a computer model that calculates the time it took for water to move from the Martian surface to deep underground aquifers, a process t Chinese Company Conducts Fifth Sea-Based Rocket Launch
Galactic Energy, a Beijing-based private rocket manufacturer, successfully completed its fifth sea-based launch of the Ceres 1 carrier rocket on Monday. The rocket lifted off at 3:38 pm from a modified deck barge in the Yellow Sea off the coast of Shandong Province, delivering four satellites into a low-Earth orbit approximately 850 kilometers above the planet.
The satellites, developed by Space tourism's growth blurs the line between scientific and symbolic achievement
On April 14, 2025, Blue Origin launched six women - Aisha Bowe, Amanda Nguyn, Gayle King, Katy Perry, Kerianne Flynn and Lauren Sanchez - on a suborbital journey to the edge of space.
The headlines called it a historic moment for women in space. But as a tourism educator, I paused - not because I questioned their experience, but because I questioned the language. Were they astronauts or sp Second CubeSat joins ESA’s Ramses mission to asteroid Apophis
