NASA-funded research explores tidal impacts on planetary and lunar interiors
Friday, 08 November 2024 11:27
NASA-backed researchers have devised a novel approach to calculating how tidal forces influence the internal structures of planets and moons. Crucially, this research departs from the typical assumption of a perfectly spherical interior, instead examining how irregularly shaped bodies react to tidal stress.
These internal distortions, known as body tides, result from gravitational interact Scientists harvest nutrient-rich rice grown in space
Friday, 08 November 2024 11:27
At a crop breeding center in Shanghai, researchers have successfully harvested rice that was cultivated from seeds initially grown on China's space station Tiangong, also known as "Heavenly Palace." The rice plants have completed a full growth cycle on Earth, maturing after more than 100 days since planting.
This space-to-ground experiment began with six rice seeds sent into orbit in 2022 BlackSky buys Thales Alenia’s stake in LeoStella joint venture

Proba-3 will constantly measure Sun’s energy output
Thursday, 07 November 2024 12:11
Proba-3 is such an ambitious mission that it needs more than one single spacecraft to succeed. In order for Proba-3’s Coronagraph spacecraft observe the Sun’s faint surrounding atmosphere, its disk-bearing Occulter spacecraft must block out the fiery solar disk. This means Proba-3’s Occulter ends up facing the Sun continuously, making it a valuable platform for science in its own right.
