Two newly launched Copernicus missions, Sentinel-1D and Sentinel-5A, have returned their first observations, showing enhancements in Europe’s capacity to monitor the planet’s surface and its atmosphere.
NASA has launched a new mission called TRACERS (Tandem Reconnection and Cusp Electrodynamics Reconnaissance Satellites) to study how Earth’s magnetic field defends the planet from space weather.
Astronomers have potentially captured the HD 135344B planet during its formation process, allowing for a new understanding of how planetary systems like ours come into existence.
Astronomers have discovered a young planet undergoing a rapid transformation. Named TOI 1227 b, this infant world is being bombarded by intense X-rays from its host star, stripping away its thick atmosphere.
Europe is taking its next significant steps forward in atmospheric monitoring capabilities with the upcoming launch of Sentinel-5A, scheduled for August 2025.
The new Mobile Responsive Launch Systems will explore new concepts that will improve the continent's ability to deploy satellites and achieve greater strategic autonomy in orbit promptly.
NASA has reached a massive milestone in the construction of the NASA Grace Roman Space Telescope, making it closer to the launch of one of its most advanced space observatories.
Astronomers have made significant strides in understanding how planets like the ones in our solar system form by detecting planet-forming “pebbles” around two young stars.
Dark matter makes up around 25% of the universe, but scientists still don’t know what it’s made of. It doesn’t emit light or respond to electromagnetic forces, so it’s invisible to telescopes.
At the start of this month, the European Union stepped up their environmental monitoring with the successful launch of the Copernicus Sentinel-4 mission from Cape Canaveral.
The UK Space Agency has announced a new initiative aimed at addressing the growing issue of space debris, launching a £75.6 million procurement process.
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory has revealed its first imagery, which will be followed by more detailed observations to gain a deeper understanding of the universe.
A team of astronomers at the University of Hawai'i's Institute for Astronomers (IfA) have discovered a new type of cosmic explosion that exceeds anything observed previously.
