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.

James Webb Space Telescope Opens New Frontiers in the Search for Life Beyond Earth.

  This image illustrates a science-based artist’s impression of K2-18 b, a potentially habitable exoplanet 120 light-years away, orbiting a cool dwarf star in its habitable zone. NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is revolutionizing the search for life beyond our solar system, offering humanity its most detailed look yet at distant, potentially habitable worlds. With its extraordinary infrared capabilities, Webb is not only detecting atmospheres on small rocky exoplanets but also probing their chemical makeup in search of biosignatures—clues that could hint at the presence of life. However, scientists caution that context is everything. Atmospheric data alone is not enough to confirm life; understanding a planet’s surface, interior, and broader environment is essential. Even detecting a potential biosignature, such as a gas possibly produced by biological processes, doesn’t equate to discovery. Multiple, independent lines of evidence would be needed to confirm such a find. “F...

Webb Telescope Reveals Tangled Rings and Dusty Chaos in Dying Star System NGC 1514.

  NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has captured the most detailed image yet of planetary nebula NGC 1514, revealing clumpy dust rings and clear holes in its vibrant pink core using mid-infrared light. A dying star’s final performance has been brought into sharp focus by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, revealing a cosmic display of tangled rings, drifting dust, and mysterious holes in the planetary nebula NGC 1514. This mesmerizing structure lies about 1,500 light-years away in the constellation Taurus and has been evolving for at least 4,000 years. At the heart of the nebula are two tightly bound stars, orbiting each other every nine years, their light diffracted in Webb’s images like a celestial jewel. While the stars appear as one in mid-infrared light, they are central to the nebula’s complex architecture. One of these stars, once several times the mass of our Sun, ejected its outer layers in a slow, dense stellar wind as it aged. The other star’s close approach may have twi...

Depiction of the bipolar planetary nebula by the Hubble telescope.

About 32,000 light-years from Earth is a bipolar planetary nebula, known as M1-63, located in the small southern constellation of Scutum. Astronomers believe that such a nebula is formed when the star in its center sheds a large amount of material from its outer layers, leaving a brilliant cloud of gas and dust. At the center of the dipole nebula is a binary system of stars, capable of forming butterfly-like shapes. This is because the material of the shedding star is funneled towards its poles, with the help of a companion, the nebula forms a typical double-lobed structure, such as M1-63. NASA / ESA Hubble Space Telescope filters image M1-63 through F200W, F350W, F502W, and F814w, new image of M1-63 shows ultraviolet, near-infrared and optical parts of the spectrum in Hubble's wide field. This is illustrated with the help of Camera 3 (WFC3) comments.
