NASA Astronaut Sunita Williams' Mission Ends in March with Crew-10 Launch
NASA astronaut Sunita Williams is concluding her extended space mission after spending over eight months in space. Williams, along with fellow astronaut Butch Willmore, shared details about the upcoming Crew-10 mission in an exclusive conversation with CNN. The mission will launch from Earth on March 12 and dock with the International Space Station (ISS), where the astronauts will conduct their duties before handing over responsibilities to a new Space Station Commander.

2032 Asteroid Alert: 300-Foot Space Rock with a 2.3% Impact Chance
A newly identified asteroid, 2024 YR4, has drawn attention from astronomers and space agencies as calculations reveal a small but notable chance of colliding with Earth in 2032. Initially, the probability of impact was placed at 1.2%, but with updated observational data, the likelihood has increased to 2.3% (approximately 1 in 43). While this still represents a relatively low risk, the potential threat is significant enough for experts to continue closely t

Five Planets Visible in February Night Sky: A Rare Planet Parade
February 2025 is set to deliver an exciting celestial event with five planets visible in the night sky. Following January's spectacle of six planets, February continues the trend, with Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn all visible to the naked eye. This phenomenon, known as a "planet parade" or planetary alignment, is a rare and special event, as these alignments don’t happen every year. Observers can spot at least one planet each day, and in the hours around sunse
