BAE Systems (LON: BA) has finalized environmental testing for NASA's Spectro-Photometer for the History of the Universe, Epoch of Reionization and Ices Explorer (SPHEREx) Observatory. This mission, designed to conduct comprehensive all-sky spectral surveys in near-infrared light, aims to unravel key questions about the formation and evolution of the universe.
During its two-year mission, S New gravitational wave maps reveal hidden black holes and cosmic structures

Astronomers from Swinburne University of Technology have led an international effort to produce the most detailed maps of gravitational waves in the universe. This research has also resulted in the creation of the largest galactic-scale gravitational wave detector and uncovered further evidence of a "background" of gravitational waves. These subtle ripples in spacetime offer insights into some o Searching for evidence of primordial black holes in planets and everyday materials

The formation of black holes is often associated with massive stars collapsing under their own gravity. However, new research suggests the chaotic conditions of the early universe may have enabled the creation of primordial black holes (PBHs) long before stars existed. These PBHs, theorized to account for elusive dark matter, remain undetected despite decades of speculation.

The third Copernicus Sentinel-1 satellite, Sentinel-1C, launched aboard a Vega-C rocket, flight VV25, from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana on 5 December 2024 at 22:20 CET (18:20 local time).
Sentinel-1C extends the legacy of its predecessors, delivering high-resolution radar imagery to monitor Earth’s changing environment, supporting a diverse range of applications and advance scientific research. Additionally, Sentinel-1C introduces new capabilities for detecting and monitoring maritime traffic.
The launch also marks Vega-C’s ‘return to flight’, a key step in restoring Europe’s independent access to space. Vega-C is the evolution of the Vega family of rockets and delivers increased performance, greater payload volume and improved competitiveness.

Webb finds surprises in Spiderweb protocluster field
Wednesday, 04 December 2024 13:00 Write a comment
Using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope, an international team of astronomers have found new galaxies in the Spiderweb protocluster. Their characteristics reveal that new galaxies are forming in these large cosmic cities, with the finding that gravitational interactions in these dense regions are not as important as previously thought.
