Heavy methane leaks found in Swedish crater lake puzzle scientists
Berlin, Germany (SPX) Apr 14, 2025
Unexpectedly high levels of methane have been detected in Sweden's Lake Siljan, raising new questions about greenhouse gas emissions from freshwater systems. A team from Chalmers University of Technology made the discovery using a novel measurement technique, revealing unusually concentrated and persistent leaks never previously recorded in a lake setting. The findings prompt broader investigati

Engineer targets next frontier in lunar welding technology
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Apr 14, 2025
As plans to establish long-term human presence on the Moon and Mars accelerate, researchers are developing new techniques to enable construction in hostile, low-gravity environments. One such breakthrough effort is underway at The University of Texas at Dallas, where Dr. Wei Li is creating a virtual lunar welding platform to support the assembly of large-scale structures in space.

Crew examines spaceflight-related eye changes as three astronauts prepare to return home
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Apr 15, 2025
Expedition 72 astronauts kicked off the week investigating how extended spaceflight alters human vision, while simultaneously conducting other scientific studies, maintaining vital systems, and preparing for an upcoming crew return.
Prolonged exposure to microgravity can impair vision, posing a potential risk to astronauts on long-duration missions to the Moon or Mars. NASA's CIPHER study,

Blue Skies Space to Design CubeSat Constellation for Lunar-Based Cosmology Research
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Apr 15, 2025
Blue Skies Space has secured funding from the Italian Space Agency (ASI) to explore the design of a CubeSat-based satellite constellation capable of orbiting the Moon and conducting observations of the early universe.
The initiative, known as RadioLuna, will assess whether a network of compact satellites placed in lunar orbit could detect the elusive radio emissions from the universe's for

Hera's Mars flyby - Asteroid Framing Camera (colourised)
Video:
00:02:14
On 12 March 2025, ESA’s Hera spacecraft soared just 5000 km above Mars and passed within 300 km of its distant moon, Deimos. Captured by Hera’s 1020x1020 pixel Asteroid Framing Camera, this video sequence offers a rare view of the red planet and its enigmatic moon. The original greyscale images have been colour-enhanced based on known surface features.
