CTAO telescope uncovers fresh evidence for layered jet structures in historic gamma ray burst
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Jul 24, 2025
The CTAO LST Collaboration has unveiled critical insights into gamma-ray burst (GRB) jets following detailed analysis of GRB 221009A-the most luminous GRB ever observed. The results, published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, draw from 2022 observations using the LST-1, a prototype Large-Sized Telescope stationed at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory on the CTAO-North site in La Palma,

JunoCam revived by onboard heat treatment just in time for Io flyby
Nashville TN (SPX) Jul 24, 2025
NASA's Juno spacecraft, currently orbiting Jupiter, narrowly salvaged its onboard JunoCam imager through a remote thermal repair maneuver executed in December 2023. The move, initiated from over 370 million miles away, enabled the camera to capture unprecedented views of Io during a close approach. The repair effort was detailed by mission engineers on July 16 at the IEEE Nuclear and Space Radia

Young magmas on the came from much shallower depths
Gainesville FL (SPX) Jul 24, 2025
New research on the rocks collected by China's Chang'e 5 mission is rewriting our understanding of how the moon cooled. Stephen Elardo, Ph.D., an assistant professor of Geological Sciences with the University of Florida, has found that lava on the near side of the moon likely came from a much shallower depth than previously thought, contradicting previous theories on how the moon produced lavas

First MetOp Second Generation satellite fuelled
The journey to launch is picking up pace for Europe’s MetOp Second Generation weather satellite – which hosts the Copernicus Sentinel-5 as part of its instrument package. Specialists at Europe’s Spaceport in Kourou have completed the critical and hazardous task of fuelling the satellite, marking a major milestone in its final preparations for liftoff.

Nuclear timekeeping may reveal hidden traits of dark matter
London, UK (SPX) Jul 22, 2025
For nearly a hundred years, scientists have sought dark matter, the unseen material believed to account for 80 percent of the universe's mass. Despite extensive efforts-including particle accelerator experiments and cosmic radiation searches-its properties remain largely unknown. Although dark matter doesn't interact directly with light, it may subtly influence visible matter, making it extremel

The secret life of neutrinos
San Diego CA (SPX) Jul 22, 2025
Neutrinos are cosmic tricksters, paradoxically hardly there but lethal to stars significantly more massive than the sun. These elementary particles come in three known "flavors": electron, muon and tau. Whatever the flavor, neutrinos are notoriously slippery, and much about their properties remains mysterious. It is almost impossible to collide neutrinos with each other in the lab, so it is not
