Return To Dust

It took the Japanese spacecraft Hayabusa five years to return them to Earth, along with hundreds of other particles from Itokawa, and scientists have been analysing them for clues ever since.

The movie was written and directed by Li Ruijun and debuted at the Berlin International Film Festival back in February.

A water drop discovered on specks of dust from Ryugu, an asteroid close to Earth, has offered new support for the theory that life on the planet was seeded from outer space. The sample of the asteroid retrieved by the Hayabusa-2 probe has already showed that some of the building blocks of life on Earth, amino acids, may have been formed in space. T...

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has asked Boston-based RR Auction to stop the sale of moon dust collected during the 1969 Apollo 11 mission. It has also ordered the company to immediately return the samples to the space agency. The lunar dust was subsequently been fed to cockroaches during an experiment to determine if the ...

The race for space exploration is heating up with major powers focussing on having a base on the Moon, to help operate beyond the International Space Station (ISS). As the US is realigning its strategy to return humanity to the Moon, China is not far behind. Its scientists have created an “artificial moon” on Earth to test technology and equipm...

NASA shared an Instagram post showing the 4.5-billion-year-old asteroid Bennu, from which the space agency has collected samples using its OSIRIS-REx spacecraft, which will return to Earth in 2023.

Japan space agency officials on Sunday hailed the arrival of rare asteroid samples on Earth after they were collected by space probe Hayabusa-2 during an unprecedented mission.

Elon Musk has suggested that the first resident on Mars could be artificial intelligence (AI). Musk wants to establish a base on Mars.

NASA's first-ever mission designed to visit an asteroid and return a sample of its dust back to Earth arrived Monday at its destination, Bennu.

NASA's first-ever mission designed to visit an asteroid and return a sample of its dust back to Earth arrives Monday at its destination, Bennu, two years after launching from Cape Canaveral, Florida.

Back in Uttar Pradesh, Yogi Adityanath on Saturday appeared to blame the weather department for not providing adequate information about the ferocious winds that tore down homes and toppled walls, killing nearly 75 people in the state.

Over 33,000 unclaimed articles like jewellery, cell phones, cameras and watches are gathering dust from last three years at the Returned Letter Office of the postal department here, awaiting bona fide owners to claim them before these go under the hammer.
