What's the dark matter with Euclid
Write a comment
Paris (ESA) Jun 09, 2023
Euclid is ESA's mission to shed light on dark matter and dark energy, but teams at the Agency's mission control centre in Darmstadt, Germany, are also in the dark. A series of problems have befallen the mission in pre-launch simulations. Currently about halfway through the Euclid simulations campaign, the key focus in the Main Control Room is the Launch and Early Orbit Phase (LEOP) and spa

Boulder CO (SPX) Jun 09, 2023
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), the most powerful telescope ever launched into space, will soon get a new "sidekick"-a small but nimble satellite that borrows its name from a multicolored sea creature. Last month, NASA selected the $8.5 million space mission, which is called Monitoring Activity from Nearby sTars with uv Imaging and Spectroscopy (MANTIS). This "CubeSat," or mini-s

Hefei, China (SPX) Jun 09, 2023
Recently, a research team led by Prof. GOU Yanyu from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) found that the solar outburst structure undergoes a complex reconfiguration evolution during the early outbursts, thus making important advances in the study of solar outburst activity. This study was published in Nature Astronomy. In class

Bergen, Norway (SPX) Jun 12, 2023
In a study published in Nature Astronomy, a team of researchers from the University of Naples "Federico II", the University of Wroclaw, and the University of Bergen examined a quantum-gravity model of particle propagation in which the speed of ultrarelativistic particles decreases with rising energy. This effect is expected to be extremely small, proportional to the ratio between particle
