Scientists in Japan have developed a high-resolution X-ray telescope sharp enough to distinguish an object just 3.5 mm wide from one kilometer away, by combining precision mirror-making technology with space

Japan’s space agency, JAXA, has been knocking it out of the park with small-body exploration missions for decades. They had historic successes with both Hayabusa and Hayabusa2, and they are
Since its launch in December 2024, the European Space Agency’s Proba-3 mission, which comprises two satellites, has successfully generated 57 artificial solar eclipses, yielding over 250 hours of high-resolution video

Community composition and functional profiles of 152 samples. a, The relative abundance of archaea and bacteria in 152 samples. b, The proportion of all archaea in all samples. Bars in
Wind structures for the synchronous and 10:1 SOR simulations, reproduced from fig. 5 of Part I and included here for reference. Columns from left to right show the horizontal distribution
Schematic overview of the data-processing workflow in this work. After splitting the 2C data into three antenna spectra, we first conduct a general comb diagnostics for each antenna, then perform
PSF-subtracted images of all targets. The observation subarray of each target is indicated. The first seven images are zoomed in to area of 11.0” × 11.0” for clearer view of
Where will you be for the total solar eclipse on Aug. 12, 2026? If you’re within the roughly 190-mile (305 kilometers) wide path of totality through eastern Greenland, western Iceland
An international collaboration of astronomers has produced one of the most precise measurements yet of the local universe’s expansion rate, out to about 1 billion light-years. And the new measurements
