A new study led by researchers from Oxford University, Southwest Research Institute and the Planetary Science Institute in Tucson, Arizona has provided the first evidence of significant heat flow at Enceladus’s north pole, overturning previous […]

Researchers at McGill University and collaborating institutions have mapped the atmospheric features of a planetary-mass brown dwarf, a type of space object that is neither a star nor a planet, existing in a category in-between. […]

When a meteoroid shook the edge of Apollinaris Mons on Mars, it triggered streaks that carved a hundred new scratches on the surface. The European Space Agency’s ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter captured these dust avalanches […]

The abundance, distribution, and origin of lunar surface water has recently drawn significant scientific interest, owing to its critical role in future space exploration.This post was originally published on this site

Long before humans reached orbit, insects had already shown they could handle the hurdles of spaceflight. Light, highly adaptable and nutritionally rich, these resilient animals present an attractive option for European researchers studying reliable food […]

The first dual-satellite mission to another planet, NASA’s ESCAPADE (Escape and Plasma Acceleration and Dynamics Explorers), is scheduled for launch no earlier than Sunday, Nov. 9, from Cape Canaveral, Florida. The two identical spacecraft are […]

The Institute for Fusion Science installed the Hyperspectral Camera for Auroral Imaging (HySCAI) in Kiruna, Sweden, in May 2023 and commenced full-scale observations in September of the same year. A research group has now succeeded […]

Using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST), astronomers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and elsewhere have observed a nearby pulsar known as PSR J2129+4119. Results of the observational campaign, published October 30 […]

An international team of astronomers has employed the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to observe a distant galaxy designated SXDF-NB1006-2. As a result, they found that SXDF-NB1006-2 is a young starburst galaxy that experiences ionized […]
