ESA’s Euclid space telescope, built to map distant galaxies, has found its first new comet, C/2026 S1 (Euclid), on a steeply tilted orbit that keeps it far beyond Jupiter.
A new technique applied to James Webb Space Telescope data shows the atmosphere of hot Jupiter WASP-17b is lopsided, with its evening side puffed up by winds carrying heat from the dayside.
NASA’s SPHEREx mission is a ground-breaking endeavour poised to revolutionize our comprehension of the universe’s origins, evolution, and the fundamental elements that constitute life itself. Launched on March 12, 2025, aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, SPHEREx (Spectro-Photometer for the History of the
As humanity sets its sights on establishing a permanent presence on the Moon, the challenges of construction in such an inhospitable environment become increasingly apparent. Traditional building materials are impractical to transport from Earth due to exorbitant costs and logistical constraints. Consequently, scientists are exploring innovative methods to utilize in-situ
When we think about living on the Moon, our minds tend to fixate on the obvious challenges—habitats, water supply and radiation shielding. Yet quietly underpinning every plan, from temporary science outposts to full-fledged lunar cities, is a more elemental problem: power. Without a steady and scalable energy source, even the
