Mining Voyager 2 data unlocks long-standing Uranus mysteries
NASA's groundbreaking flyby of Uranus by Voyager 2 in 1986 provided a wealth of data that puzzled scientists for decades. Recent analysis of that data has shed light on some of those mysteries.
During its historic 1986 approach, Voyager 2 captured the first detailed images and readings of Uranus, revealing an unconventional planet with a tilted axis and unique characteristics, including un Philae’s extraordinary comet landing relived
On 12 November 2014, after a ten year journey through the Solar System and over 500 million kilometres from home, Rosetta’s lander Philae made space exploration history by touching down on a comet for the first time. On the occasion of the tenth anniversary of this extraordinary feat, we celebrate Philae’s impressive achievements at Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.

UChicago scientist crafts new model to enhance forecasting of atmospheric rivers
When severe rains and high winds hit densely populated coastal areas, the impacts can be devastating, but early warnings provide crucial preparation time. These intense storms are often fueled by atmospheric rivers - bands of concentrated moisture traveling across the sky on strong winds. Although meteorologists closely monitor them, predicting the specific behavior of an atmospheric river has b The shifting history of North America's ancient ice sheet
Imagining a vast ice sheet sprawling over Canada and extending down into what is now the northern United States, reaching as far south as Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin, helps us grasp the scope of ancient glacial coverage between 19,000 and 26,000 years ago.
Yet, while picturing this immense ice mass is fascinating, the present-day implications of its retreat - parti China launches new set of remote-sensing satellites
China's advancements in satellite technology took another step forward as it successfully launched a new group of PIESAT-2 remote-sensing satellites from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in Northwest China on Saturday. The launch, executed at precisely 11:39 am Beijing Time, utilized the Long March 2C carrier rocket, a mainstay in China's space missions, to transport the satellites into orbit
