English ESA Open Day 2025: An Unforgettable Journey Through Space Science at ESAC
On 4 October 2025, the European Space Agency opened the doors of ESAC – the European Space Astronomy Centre near Madrid – for an inspiring day of discovery. Visitors had the opportunity to explore ESA’s window to the Universe, where missions studying our Solar System, the Milky Way and the distant Universe are operated and analysed.
Throughout the day, guests met ESA scientists and engineers, learned about missions such as Gaia, XMM-Newton, and JUICE, and experienced hands-on activities that brought the wonders of astrophysics and planetary

Wednesday, 15 October 2025 04:15
Mysterious gullies carved into Martian sand dunes have long puzzled planetary scientists. Now, new experiments by Utrecht University Earth scientist Dr Lonneke Roelofs suggest they were dug not by flowing water or lifeforms, but by sliding blocks of solid carbon dioxide that explode and burrow as they sublimate under Martian conditions.
Roelofs replicated the process in a controlled "Mars
