By: Eric Giguere | 2011-04-04 | Science A historic image of Mercury, the first ever obtained from one spacecraft in orbit about the Solar System's innermost planet, was taken by NASA's MESSENGER probe on March 29, 2011, at 5:20 am EDT. MESSENGER then acquired an additional 363 images over six hours before sending back some of the date to Earth. Besides, it will continue to access 1185 additional images in support of MDIS commissioning-phase activities over the next three days. MESSENGER made a history when becoming the first spacecraft to orbit the planet Mercury on March 17, 2011. Its seven scientific instruments and radio science investigation will unravel the history and evolution of the Solar System's innermost planet during the one-year primary mission. Now, let unlock the secret of Mercury through some below photos. read more

By: Barry Lycka | 2010-03-27 | Science NASA has many scientists who are working on plans to explore more of our universe in the near future. With many advances in the international space station missions, they have learned a great deal of the different workings of space and the mysteries it holds. There are so many mysteries that we have not unraveled yet and NASA is trying their best to come up with new ideas. There are many reasons why it is important to have an updated NASA. What's next for NASA is found here. read more

People should not compare him to themselves or the so-called ‘great personalities' of their age. Researchers should look at him, the one to whom angels are grateful, always remembering that he excelled in every way. If they want to look for Muhammad, upon him be peace and blessings, they must search for him in his own dimensions. read more

By: Eric Giguere | 2011-06-03 | Science NASA has recently decided to give up on recovering one of its two Mars rovers. The Spirit became stuck in 2009 and hasn’t been heard since March 22, 2010. It is said to be the victim of the planet’s frigid winter after seven years of work. Spirit and a sister craft named Opportunity successfully landed on Mars in 2004 for their Mars Exploration Rover Mission. Even though Spirit’s time is over, its legacy will live on. The rover has found many important details, including the geological evidence of ancient water on Mars during its 90-day primary mission. Here are some impressive photos of Nasa's Mars rover Spirit: read more
