Friday, 10 October 2025 01:10
Europe must quickly get its own reusable rocket launcher to catch up to billionaire Elon Musk's dominant SpaceX, European Space Agency director Josef Aschbacher told AFP in an interview.
While the US company has an overwhelming lead in the booming space launch industry, a series of setbacks, including Russia's withdrawal of its rockets, left Europe without an independent way to blast its mis Lunar mega basin signals radioactive ejecta and reshapes Moon origin story
Friday, 10 October 2025 01:10
New analyses of the South Pole-Aitken basin recast the formation of the Moon's largest impact crater and what it reveals about lunar origins. Led by University of Arizona planetary scientist Jeffrey Andrews-Hanna, the study in Nature outlines how the basin's geometry and chemistry point to a northward-moving impactor and a radioactive-rich ejecta deposit.
Spanning more than 1,200 miles nor Milky Way hosts giant wave of stars revealed by Gaia
Friday, 10 October 2025 01:10
Scientists using the European Space Agency's Gaia telescope have discovered a vast stellar wave rippling across the Milky Way's disc, extending tens of thousands of light-years from the Sun. The finding adds to Gaia's record of uncovering the galaxy's dynamic structure, following its earlier identification of the disc's rotation, warp, and wobble.
Like ripples spreading from a rock cast in Martian skies reveal intricate atmospheric layers in new orbiter images
Friday, 10 October 2025 01:10
ESA's ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter has captured the most detailed view yet of Mars's atmosphere, showing a fine layering of dust and ice particles that resembles a cosmic mille-feuille. The images reveal a delicate stratification extending from the surface up to 55 km in altitude, shedding light on processes shaping the Red Planet's restless skies.
The data were obtained on January 21, 2024, QUT to advance navigation systems for Australia lunar rover
Friday, 10 October 2025 01:10
QUT's Centre for Robotics will play a central role in keeping Australia's first lunar rover, known as Roo-ver, safely on course during its mission to the Moon.
Professor Michael Milford, Director of the Centre, said the team was thrilled to contribute to the ambitious project. "Obviously, the Moon presents an environment unlike anywhere on Earth," he said. "QUT's world-class robotics exper More precise simulations unlock mysteries of the early universe
Friday, 10 October 2025 01:10
Researchers from the University of Jyvaskyla, working within an international collaboration, have developed advanced computer models that significantly improve the simulation of heavy ion collisions. These refinements shed new light on the extreme conditions of the early universe and deepen insight into the formation of quark-gluon plasma (QGP).
When atomic nuclei smash together at nearly Two decades of Mars images reveal fast moving dust devils and stronger winds
Friday, 10 October 2025 01:10
Combing 20 years of Mars Express and ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter imagery, ESA-led researchers cataloged 1,039 dust devils to show how surface winds loft and transport dust across Mars. Published in Science Advances, the work indicates peak near-surface winds are much faster than previously thought and refines models of Martian weather and climate.
