Using lunar regolith simulant, a team of researchers demonstrated that “immature” regolith similar to what is expected around the Moon’s southern polar region is suitable for rovers to drive on.
The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) has successfully completed the largest high-resolution 3D map of the universe ever made, a major milestone in understanding the force driving cosmic expansion. The
Engineers love a good practical challenge, especially when it comes to spaceflight. But there’s one particular challenge facing the crewed missions of the near future that scares mission planners above
We have the crowd. We have the star. Now it’s time to put them together. Here’s exactly what happens — and why — when a charged particle outruns the local
In 2014, a strange cloudy object called G2 made a close approach to Sagittarius A*, (Sag A*) the supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way Galaxy. Astronomers
Understanding the beginning of the solar system requires us to look at some very strange places. One such place is at the so-called “Trojan” asteroids that share Jupiter’s orbit in
Researchers from the Earth-Life Science Institute (ELSI) and National Institute for Basic Biology have developed a new method to detect extraterrestrial life without relying on traditional biosignatures. By modelling how
Our planet rests inside a magnetic cocoon filled with plasma—but it’s not always peaceful and quiet. Activity from the sun can send waves through this space, and some of those
European astronomers have used the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) and the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to observe a recently discovered giant disk galaxy known as ADF22.1. Results of
