Turkey's Forestry and Waterworks Minister Veysel Ero?lu slammed NASA's technology as "inadequate," and claimed Turkish studies were better at weather forecasts, after the U.S. agency released a study concluding that the ongoing draught in the eastern Mediterranean was the worst in the past 900 years. 

NASA astronaut Tim Kopra posted a wonderful photo of Athens at night on his Twitter account sharing it with thousands of his Twitter followers.

“Goodnight Athens”, Kopra writes from the International Space Station.

The brilliant flash of an exploding star’s shockwave—what astronomers call the “shock breakout”—has been captured for the first time in the optical wavelength or visible light by NASA‘s planet-hunter, the Kepler space telescope.

U.S. astronaut Scott Kelly and Russian cosmonaut Mikhail Kornienko returned to Earth March 2 after spending almost a year in space in a ground-breaking experiment foreshadowing a potential manned mission to Mars.

The continued drought in the eastern Mediterranean, including the Levant region and Turkey, since 1998 was drier than the worst drought in the past 900 years, a new study by NASA has revealed. 

NASA has revealed that a huge meteor crashed into the Atlantic ocean earlier this month releasing energy equivalent to 13,000 tons of TNT.

The meteor exploded on February 6 at 14:00 UTC in the air 620 miles (1,000km) off the coast of Brazil, with the force equivalent to an atomic bomb, but no one noticed it.

No one doubts that space has still many well-kept secrets. One of these secrets was brought to light after 40 years in a documentary of Science Channel entitled NASA’s Unexplained Files.

The documentary revealed that in 1969 the crew of Apollo 10 heard a strange whistling sound, which sounded like music, when they were outside the range of terrestrial radio.

For the first time ever, a flower is blooming in space on the International Space Station.

U.S. astronaut Scott Kelly tweeted a photo of one of the orange flowers, Zinnians, writing: “First ever flower grown in space makes its debut! #SpaceFlower #zinnia #YearInSpace”.

Sierra Nevada Corp., owned by two Turkish entrepreneurs, will conduct a minimum of six cargo delivery missions to and from the International Space Station (ISS) under a contract it won from NASA, according to a statement released on Jan. 14. The missions will use SNC's Dream Chaser Cargo System.

The best photos from the New Horizons spacecraft that buzzed Pluto earlier this year were released by NASA providing resolutions of less than 100 yards per pixel.

NASA also published a video compiled from the sharpest views of Pluto seen so far from New Horizons.

The new images show details of craters and mountains, along with icy plains.
