Aalborg hosted Europe’s space debate at the 2025 Danish Space Conference this October, bringing together policymakers, researchers, entrepreneurs, and students to discuss the European Union’s growing ambitions in space, defence, and innovation.
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.
Dr. Christine Nam (GERICS) discusses how climate risks can impact Europe’s burgeoning space sector, which in turn has cascading risks that can impact Europe’s peace and security.
Five new UK-based projects will use satellite data to drive innovation in public services, following over £2.5 million in funding from the UK Space Agency and the European Space Agency’s InCubed2 programme.
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.
In a groundbreaking feat, telescopes in Chile have detected 13-billion-year-old light from the Big Bang, scattered by the universe's first stars. This achievement, once thought impossible from Earth, offers vital insights into the Cosmic Dawn and the early evolution of our universe.
New observations from the James Webb Space Telescope reveal the surprising origin of the ultra-hot exoplanet WASP-121b. Detecting atmospheric methane and silicon monoxide suggests this ultra-hot world formed in a colder, distant region akin to our outer Solar System, then migrated inward.
New research offers compelling evidence for intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs), the "missing links" in black hole evolution. These studies provide unprecedented insights into the universe's earliest stars and galaxy formation, bridging the gap between stellar and supermassive black holes.
