White dwarfs are stellar corpses, the slowly cooling remnants of stars that ran out of fuel billions of years ago. Our Sun will eventually share this fate, collapsing into a
As space activity intensifies, Earth’s orbit faces escalating congestion and pollution, prompting scientists to seek clearer metrics for sustainability in this unique environment. In response, the European Space Agency (ESA)
Mars is a planet of mystery! Its surface today is cold and dry, yet evidence suggests it was once home to flowing water. Most of the planet’s remaining ice sits
WASHINGTON — Three of Europe’s largest aerospace companies have agreed to combine their space businesses into a new joint venture intended to better compete in the global market. Airbus, Leonardo
TAMPA, Fla. — France-based propulsion startup Ion-X announced Oct. 23 it will provide an upgraded version of its electrospray thruster to Univity, a three-year-old French venture planning 1500 small 5G
Space Safety 22/10/2025 1360 views 16 likes The congestion and pollution of Earth orbit is quickly getting worse. We need to be able to quantify how our behaviour impacts the
Artist’s concept showing a 3-billion-year-old dead star, known as a white dwarf, accreting material from the remnants of its former planetary system. Gravitational instabilities caused a surviving planet to spiral
On bizarre Titan, chemicals can combine in surprising ways, creating host-and-guest relationships. Since Titan is similar to primitive Earth, these new findings could shed light on Earth’s prebiotic chemistry. Stay
Every year, we shoot several thousand satellites and other objects out into space. When satellites die, they become space trash that threatens aerospace safety.
