A new discovery about the source of the vast energy in cosmic rays
Ultra-high energy cosmic rays, which emerge in extreme astrophysical environments - like the roiling environments near black holes and neutron stars - have far more energy than the energetic particles that emerge from our sun. In fact, the particles that make up these streams of energy have around 10 million times the energy of particles accelerated in the most extreme particle environment on ea Planets form sequentially like falling dominos
New findings from radio astronomy reveal that planetary systems form in a chain reaction, where the formation of one planet near a central star encourages the formation of subsequent planets farther out. This process mirrors the domino effect, with each planet facilitating the formation of the next.
Over 5,000 planetary systems have been identified so far, with more than 1,000 confirmed to Astrophysicists capture gamma-ray flare from supermassive black hole M87
The first-ever photo of a black hole rocked the world in 2019, when the Event Horizon Telescope, or EHT, published an image of the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy M87, also known as Virgo A or NGC 4486, located in the constellation of Virgo. This black hole is surprising scientists again with a teraelectronvolt gamma-ray flare - emitting pho Planning autonomous surface missions on ocean worlds

ESA and Nokia demonstrate advanced AI applications with space-enabled 5G
ESA and Nokia have successfully demonstrated how advanced artificial intelligence (AI) combined with space-enabled 5G networks can perform unprecedented real-time activities – from early wildfire detection to remote infrastructure inspection and immersive multimedia experiences in rural areas.
NASA's crew capsule had heat shield issues during Artemis I
Off the coast of Baja California in December 2022, sun sparkled over the rippling sea as waves sloshed around the USS Portland dock ship. Navy officials on the deck scrutinized the sky in search of a sign. The glow appeared suddenly.
A tiny spot at first, it gradually grew to a round circle falling at a great speed from the fringes of space. It was NASA's Orion capsule, which would soon en
