Sultan Al Neyadi to perform 1st spacewalk by an Arab astronaut this month
UAE astronaut Sultan Al Neyadi is scheduled to become the first Arab astronaut to perform a spacewalk on April 28, 2023. Al Neyadi is aboard the International Space Station for a six-month mission.
13 volcanoes seen from space
Video: 00:12:09
Have you ever wondered what a volcano looks like from space? Today, we’re counting down our picks of the most impressive volcanoes around the world – captured by satellites. Our countdown includes Mount Fuji, Mount Mayon and Mount Vesuvius. Satellites orbiting 800 km above us can monitor volcanoes. They can provide real-time data on volcanic activity and can even help disaster response efforts post-eruption.
Astronomers Find Out What Happens to Rocky Planets That Wander too Close to Their Stars
The massive Kepler survey found a treasure trove of exoplanets. But in all that wealth they found three anomalies: what appeared to be rings of dust surrounding stars where planets should be. They were rocky planets in the process of being obliterated. And a team of astronomers that found a way to use these gory sites to understand some of the most mysterious and hard to detect planets in the universe.

Forget the Habitable Zone – We Need to Find the Computational Zone
Astronomers are currently searching for signs of life in the “habitable zones” of nearby stars, which is defined as the band around a star where liquid water can potentially exist. But a recent paper argues that we need to take a more nuanced and careful approach, based not on the potential for life, but the potential for computation.
Will the Starship be Ready for an April Launch?
