Highly magnetized galaxies at cosmic noon shrouded in energetic cosmic ray halos
A multinational team led by the Institute for Research in Fundamental Sciences (IPM), with contributions from the Inter-University Institute for Data-Intensive Astronomy (IDIA) and the University of Oxford, has examined 160 distant galaxies using South Africa's MeerKAT radio telescope. The study provides the first comparative measurements of their radio spectra, magnetic field intensities, and s Early galaxies - or something else? Mizzou scientists uncover mysterious objects in the universe
In a new study, scientists at the University of Missouri looked deep into the universe and found something unexpected. Using infrared images taken from NASA's powerful James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), they identified 300 objects that were brighter than they should be.
"These mysterious objects are candidate galaxies in the early universe, meaning they could be very early galaxies," said Chemists Help Solve Mystery of Missing Space Sulfur
For decades, astrochemists have been looking for sulfur atoms in space and finding surprisingly little of the element that is a key ingredient to life. A new study could point to where it has been hiding.

Rocket Lab Corporation (Nasdaq: RKLB) has finalized its $275 million acquisition of Geost, LLC's parent holding company from Lightridge Solutions, a portfolio firm of ATL Partners. The deal, initially announced May 27, 2025, included about $125 million in cash, 3,057,588 Rocket Lab shares, and a possible $50 million earnout tied to future Geost revenue.
The move strengthens Rocket Lab's ro Astronaut crew tests new generation spacewalk suits and conducts health research aboard Tiangong
The Shenzhou XX mission astronauts aboard China's Tiangong space station have recently completed key assignments, including unpacking and testing two newly delivered spacewalk suits, the China Manned Space Agency reported.
Commander Senior Colonel Chen Dong and crewmates Colonel Chen Zhongrui and Colonel Wang Jie moved the suits, delivered by the Tianzhou 9 cargo craft, to the spacewalk pr Automated collision avoidance system moves closer to space deployment
Earth orbit is growing more congested, with over 11,000 active satellites and more on the way, plus more than 1.2 million debris fragments larger than 1 cm. This rising population makes collision risks a daily operational challenge. ESA is developing automation to help satellite operators respond faster and more effectively.
Central to this is the Collision Risk Estimation and Automated Mi
