China Aerospace Science and Technology Corp has carried out a static firing test of the first stage of its new Long March 12B reusable carrier rocket at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in Northwest China.
The company said engines on the Long March 12B first stage were ignited on Friday afternoon and sustained combustion for a period while ground teams monitored performance and control

Galactic Energy has carried out its sixth sea based mission of the Ceres 1 solid fuel launcher, adding four more spacecraft to the Tianqi commercial internet of things constellation.
The latest Ceres 1 lifted off at 4:10 a.m. local time from a mobile offshore platform positioned in the Yellow Sea off Shandong province in eastern China, placing its payload into low Earth orbit about 850 kil

Spectacular clouds swirl across the surface of Jupiter. These clouds contain water, just like Earth's, but are much denser on the gas giant--so thick that no spacecraft has been able to measure exactly what lies beneath.
But a new study led by University of Chicago and Jet Propulsion Lab scientists has given us a deeper look at the planet by creating the most complete model to date of Jupi

Radio telescopes capture faint radio signals from space and convert them into images of distant celestial objects, but resolving black holes sharply requires many instruments to observe in perfect synchrony as if they were a single giant dish.
To meet this challenge, a KAIST led collaboration has implemented a reference signal system that sends an optical frequency comb laser directly into

Deep beneath the surface of distant exoplanets known as super-earths, oceans of molten rock may be doing something extraordinary: powering magnetic fields strong enough to shield entire planets from dangerous cosmic radiation and other harmful high-energy particles.
Earth's magnetic field is generated by movement in its liquid iron outer core - a process known as a dynamo - but larger rock

Astronomers using a powerful new multi-object spectrograph on the William Herschel Telescope have uncovered a previously unknown bar-shaped cloud of ionised iron inside the famous Ring Nebula. The structure, described in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, stretches across the inner region of the nebula and contains a mass of iron atoms comparable to the mass of Mars.

An international team of astronomers has obtained the first decisive evidence that at least some fast radio bursts originate in binary stellar systems rather than from isolated objects. The work centers on an active repeating fast radio burst source about 2.5 billion light years away that shows a sudden and transient change in its magnetic environment consistent with material expelled from a ste

Modern physics faces a deep inconsistency between quantum theory, which explains nature using discrete particles and interactions, and general relativity, which describes gravity as a smooth curvature of space and time. For gravity to fit into a unified quantum framework, it must be mediated by particles called gravitons, but detecting even a single graviton was long considered fundamentally imp
