The Most Precise Measurement of an Alien World's Size Thanks to NASA's Kepler and Spitzer Space Telescopes, scientists have made the most precise measurement ever of the radius of a planet outside our solar system. The size of the exoplanet, dubbed Kepler-93b, is now known to an uncertainty of just...
The loss of Cosmos 1275 has always been looked upon as the best contender for a satellite being destroyed due to the impact of an untracked piece of space debris: this hypothesis has been given support by a reported Russian statement. However, the case has yet to be proven. Cosmos 1275 was a military na...
