Recent findings by University of Alaska Fairbanks scientists offer new insights into Jupiter's magnetosphere, potentially enhancing our understanding of terrestrial space weather. These discoveries could also influence the longstanding debate regarding the magnetospheric structure of the solar system's largest planet.

Ever wonder what happens when you fall into a black hole? Now, thanks to a new, immersive visualization produced on a NASA supercomputer, viewers can plunge into the event horizon, a black hole's point of no return.
"People often ask about this, and simulating these difficult-to-imagine processes helps me connect the mathematics of relativity to actual consequences in the real universe," said J

Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder have uncovered significant insights into why Venus, despite being similar in size and mass to Earth, contains minuscule amounts of water. Their findings were published on May 6 in the journal Nature.
The study focuses on a process called dissociative recombination, where hydrogen atoms are lost from Venus's atmosphere into space. This phe

In April 2024, Ariane 6’s central core – the main body of the rocket – was stood tall at the launch zone and connected to its two solid-fuel boosters. This exciting moment means only one thing: it’s the start of the first launch campaign.
The main stage and upper stage make up the core stage, and they were autonomously driven at 3 km/h from the rocket assembly building to the launch pad, 800 m away. Then lifted by a crane, the Ariane 6 core was stood upright on the launch table.
The two boosters were transported to the launch
