ESA inaugurates new Cyber Security Operations Centre
On 27 May 2025, the European Space Agency (ESA) took an important step in ensuring the continued security of its critical infrastructure with the inauguration of a new Cyber Security Operations Centre (C-SOC) at its European Space Operations Centre (ESOC) in Germany.
The new C-SOC will monitor and protect ESA’s digital assets – from satellites in space to ground stations and mission control systems on Earth. The initiative comes as space infrastructure becomes increasingly integral to Europe's economy and society, and as cyber threats grow more sophisticated.

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.
