A new NASA mission has been proposed which involves landing several astronauts on the Apophis asteroid, predicted to strike the Earth by 2030. The mission will have a more observational nature rather than a violent one as astronauts will deliver samples taken off the space rock for scientists to study back on Earth. More details regarding this in our full article.

Scientists have reason to believe that solar flares may be somehow linked with the "starquake" solar phenomena occasionally experienced by our solar system's sun. Images taken from the ESA-NASA SOHO spacecraft may give some clue to the long-standing mystery behind the sun's interior make-up. You can read more about the details of this study in our full article.

If you've ever wondered how the guys over at NASA could take all those awesome pictures of Saturn and its rings, you should know that it's all thanks to the little space probe that could, Cassini-Huygens. And in this update, we catch wind about this spacecraft getting an extra two years up in space to further explore Saturn. All the details in the full article.

Astronomers believe that there's a strong possibility that life could exist on the icy Saturn's moon called Enceladus. This is due to several findings pointing out at several organic molecules and icy crystals. See the image that made NASA and the astronomers believe after the jump!

Around 400 kilometers above us, the Endeavour space shuttle has beamed a new image of its recent spacewalk mission involving the installation of the tool change out mechanisms of the Special Purpose Dexterous Manipulator robotic arm (a.k.a Dextre) on the International Space Station. You can view the image by clicking on the "read more" link below.

It's another space mission gone wrong. A U.S. satellite was not able to head on to its planned orbit due to a failure by the Russian rocket carrying it. But not to worry, things can definitely be fixed although it can affect the lifespan of the satellite. Read more on this mission in the full article.

Some of you may think that women and cars don't mix, but NASA begs to differ. On a recent NASA mission driving the Mars Exploration Rovers, an all-women team took the driver's seat in honor of Women's History Month. More details in the full article.

NASA's Cassini spacecraft was recently given the task of investigating the plumes of water vapor and ice crystals found erupting from the South Pole of Saturn's Enceladus. Any information gathered from this latest space mission will look into the nature of this strange phenomenon, as well as the possibility of the tiny moon being able to sustain life. More details about this in our full article.

Last year gave us the news of a madly love-struck astronaut, and this year, we'll be witnessing how taking out books outside the premises without asking permission will take something important away from you: in this case, the privilege to be the first person from your country to be sent into space. Read all about it in the full article.

Space Shuttle Endeavour might have had some problems the last time it was up in space, but it's up and ready again as it prepares for its return to the final frontier (er, that's outer space for you non-Trekkies). More details on the Shuttle's launch after the "read more" link below.
