A distant planet seems to have a sulphur-rich atmosphere, hinting at alien volcanoes
Even JWST can’t separate these tiny planets from their host stars – as they orbit their stars too closely. But there is a way to “see” the planet’s atmosphere from this entangled light.
The Large Magellanic Cloud Survived its Closest Approach to the Milky Way
The Large Magellanic Cloud is a small galaxy, just a tenth of the Milky Way’s mass. It is about 160,000 light years away, which is remarkably close in cosmic terms. In the southern hemisphere it spans the width of 20 Moons in the night sky. While the galaxy seems timeless and unchanging to our short human lives, it is, in fact, a dynamic system undergoing a near collision with our galaxy. Now astronomers are beginning to observe that process.
The New Mars Landing Approach: How We’ll Land Large Payloads on the Red Planet
Back in 2007, I talked with Rob Manning, engineer extraordinaire at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and he told me something shocking. Even though he had successfully led the entry, descent, and landing (EDL) teams for three Mars rover missions, he said the prospect of landing a human mission on the Red Planet might be impossible.
'Dune: Prophecy' episode 1 - 'The Hidden Hand': Will Valya's Sisterhood shape the flow of galactic power?
Episode 1 of HBO's new "Dune" prequel miniseries, "Dune: Prophecy" introduces the secret history of the powerful Bene Gesserit sisterhood.
Hubble Telescope witnesses Milky Way strip its galactic neighbor of gas
The Hubble Space Telescope may have captured our Milky Way galaxy being a bit of a bully.
Three More “Galactic Monster” Ultra-Massive Galaxies Found
One of the surprise findings with the James Webb Space Telescope is the discovery of massive galaxies in the early Universe. The expectations were that only young, small, baby galaxies would exist within the first billion years after the Big Bang. But some of the newly found galaxies appear to be as large and as mature as galaxies that we see today.
Sentinel-1C fuelled ahead of liftoff
Marking a major milestone in the preparation of Copernicus Sentinel-1C for its scheduled 3 December liftoff, experts have completed the critical and hazardous process of fuelling the satellite.

SpaceX launching 20 Starlink satellites from California early Nov. 18
SpaceX is set to launch 20 more of its Starlink internet satellites from California's Vandenberg Space Force Base early Monday morning (Nov. 18).
James Webb Confirms Hubble’s Calculation of Hubble’s Constant
We have been spoiled over recent years with first the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and then the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST.) Both have opened our eyes on the Universe and made amazing discoveries. One subject that has received attention from both is the derivation of the Hubble Constant – a constant relating the velocity of remote galaxies and their distances. A recent paper announces that JWST has just validated the results of previous studies by the Hubble Space Telescope to accurately measure its value.
SpaceX launching telecom satellite from Florida today
SpaceX is set to launch a satellite for the Australian telecom company Optus this afternoon (Nov. 17) from Florida's Space Coast.
What Should Light Sails Be Made Out Of?
The Breakthrough Starshot program aims to cross the immense distances to the nearest star in just decades. Using a high-powered laser to propel a reflective sail technology to relativistic speeds is their mission. The selection of sail material is key to its success as it must be lightweight while being able to withstand acceleration and radiation from the laser. A recent study explores various materials and proposes that core-shell structures—spherical particles composed of two different materials—could be a promising solution.
Why does everything look flat even though the Earth is round?
The only way to see the curve of the Earth is to fly more than 6 miles (10 kilometers) above its surface.
