Spacewalk lasted 7 hours a minute on lss.

                                             
Nasa's two astronauts Christina and Morgan began work on upgrading Iss's power systems, successfully completing the work in seven hours and one minute.The mission was completed by 61 flight engineer Christina Koch and NASA's Andrew Morgan on their spacewalk by 2:40 pm.  During this spacewalk for seven-hours and a minute, two NASA astronauts began replacing nickel-hydrogen batteries with new, more powerful lithium-ion batteries at the station's port truss end.  Nasa showed this spacewalk online through its website.       

For the second spacecraft originally from this spacewalk, astronauts were also able to carry out further tasks to remove a fixed additional nickel-hydrogen battery.According to Nasa, this new battery provides a better power capacity for operation with a lighter mass and a smaller volume compared to nickel-hydrogen batteries.On October 11, there will be a spacewalk, in the meantime, to continue battery replacement on the first of the two power channels for the port trusses at the station, followed by the next spacewalk dedicated to upgrade the batteries on October 16, 21 and 25  Will be determined.  

Nasa says that after the space station's battery spacewalk is completed, its next spacewalk will focus on repairing the space station's alpha magnetic spectrometer.The dates for those spacewalks of the space station are still being discussed.  But they are expected to start in November.The crew members of the space station have performed 219 spacewalks in support of the combination and maintenance of the orbiting laboratory. Spacewalkers have now spent a total of 57 days 6 hours 27 minutes working outside the station.

JWST Just Dropped a Space Banger – Meet HH 30, the Cosmic Baby Star with an Attitude!

  ๐Ÿš€Hubble Found It, Webb Flexed on It! NASA, ESA, and CSA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) just hit us with another mind-blowing “Picture of the Month,” and this time, it’s all about HH 30 —a baby star with a dramatic flair! Sitting pretty in the Taurus Molecular Cloud, this young star is rocking a protoplanetary disc that’s literally glowing with potential future planets. And oh, it’s got some serious jets and a disc wind to show off!   ๐Ÿ’ซ What’s So Special About HH 30? Ever heard of Herbig-Haro objects? No? Cool, neither did most of us until now! These are glowing gas clouds marking the tantrums of young stars as they spit out jets of gas at supersonic speeds. HH 30 is one of them, but with a twist—it’s a prototype edge-on disc, meaning we get a front-row seat to the magic of planet formation!   ๐Ÿ“ก Webb, Hubble & ALMA—The Ultimate Space Detective Team.   To break down HH 30’s secrets, astronomers went full detective mode using:   ✔️...

Solar Storm Shocker: Earth Gets a Cosmic Makeover with Two New Radiation Belts!

  The May 2024 solar storm formed two new radiation belts between the Van Allen Belts, with one containing protons, creating a unique composition never observed before. Picture this: May 2024, the Sun throws a massive tantrum, sending a solar storm hurtling toward Earth. The result? Stunning auroras light up the skies, GPS systems go haywire, and—wait for it—Earth gets two brand-new *temporary* radiation belts! That’s right, our planet just got a cosmic upgrade, thanks to the largest solar storm in two decades. And no, this isn’t a sci-fi movie plot—it’s real science, folks!   Thanks to NASA’s Colorado Inner Radiation Belt Experiment (CIRBE) satellite, scientists discovered these new belts, which are like Earth’s Van Allen Belts’ quirky cousins. Published on February 6, 2025, in the *Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics*, this discovery is a game-changer for space research, especially for protecting satellites and astronauts from solar storm shenanigans. ...

NASA/ESA Hubble Telescope Captures Image of Supernova to Aid Distance Measurements.

  The Hubble Space Telescope has recently captured a striking image of a supernova-hosting galaxy, located approximately 600 million light-years away in the constellation Gemini. This image, taken about two months after the discovery of supernova SN 2022aajn, reveals a bright blue dot at the center, signifying the explosive event. Although SN 2022aajn was first announced in November 2022, it has not yet been the subject of extensive research. However, Hubble's interest in this particular supernova lies in its classification as a Type Ia supernova, a type that is key to measuring cosmic distances. Type Ia supernovae occur when a star's core collapses, and they are particularly useful for astronomers because they have a predictable intrinsic brightness. No matter how far away a Type Ia supernova is, it emits the same amount of light. By comparing its observed brightness to this known luminosity, astronomers can calculate how far away the supernova — and its host galaxy — are from...
