Ten new gravitational waves found in LIGO-Virgo's O3a data
Princeton NJ (SPX) Apr 08, 2022
In the last seven years, scientists at the LIGO-Virgo Collaboration (LVC) have detected 90 gravitational waves signals. Gravitational waves are perturbations in the fabric of spacetime that race outwards from cataclysmic events like the merger of binary black holes (BBH). In observations from the first half of the most recent experimental run, which continued for six months in 2019, the collabor

New Solar observations could help develop better solar thermometer
Glasgow UK (SPX) Apr 08, 2022
A sophisticated new observation of a cool zone on the surface of the sun could help scientists develop a new kind of solar thermometer.
A team of astrophysicists led by researchers from the University of Glasgow are the first to use observations from the ALMA observatory in Chile to estimate the temperature of a solar prominence.

A Beacon in the Galaxy: Updated Arecibo Message for Potential FAST and SETI Projects
Mountain View CA (SPX) Apr 08, 2022
An updated, binary-coded message has been developed for transmission to extraterrestrial intelligences in the Milky Way galaxy. The proposed message includes basic mathematical and physical concepts to establish a universal means of communication followed by information on the biochemical composition of life on Earth, the Solar System's time-stamped position in the Milky Way relative to known gl

Brazilian Space Chief Says Nations Should Think Long-Term, Keep Space Out of Geopolitics
Colorado Springs (Sputnik) Apr 08, 2022
Countries should think long-term about space cooperation, as there are many things on which they could work together regardless of geopolitical tensions, Carlos Moura, the president of the Brazilian Space Agency, told Sputnik.

SpaceX launches first private astronaut mission to ISS
Washington DC (UPI) Apr 8, 2021
With its 13th launch of the year on Friday, SpaceX will make history, sending the first private crew of astronauts to the International Space Station for a week to conduct dozens of science experiments.
The Ax-1 mission is scheduled to lift off at 11:17 a.m. EDT on a previously flown Falcon 9 rocket that will launch from Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

Space tourism: the arguments in favor
Washington (AFP) April 9, 2022
To its many detractors, space tourism amounts to nothing more than joy-rides for the global super rich that will worsen the planet's climate crisis.
But the nascent sector also has supporters, who, while not rejecting the criticism outright, argue the industry can bring humanity benefits too.

Mission design of an aperture-synthetic interferometer system for space-based exoplanet exploration
The search for extraterrestrial life and exploration of "another Earth" is an eternal theme for humans and inspires generations of planetary scientists. It not only improves our understanding of the formation and evolution of planets during the formation of a star system but also helps scientists to investigate the possible conditions and criteria of the existence of life. In the past 30 years, scientists have discovered more than 4,000 exoplanets, but exploration still has a long way to go.
Due to the far distance, searching for exoplanets requires high sensitivity and high resolution.
