New research from the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP) has revealed a striking anomaly in the satellite galaxy system surrounding Andromeda (M31), casting doubt on long-held assumptions within standard cosmology. The study, published in Nature Astronomy, shows that more than 80% of Andromeda's dwarf galaxy companions are clustered on one side of the host galaxy-a configuration pr

A new study led by researchers at Nagoya University has uncovered compelling evidence that the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), one of the Milky Way's closest galactic neighbors, may be undergoing gravitational disruption caused by its larger companion, the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). The findings, based on the motion of thousands of massive stars, suggest that tidal forces from the LMC are pulli

LUNA’s virtual leap towards the Moon

Monday, 14 April 2025 06:25
ESA astronaut Matthias Maurer wears the ATLAS analogue suit inside the LUNA facility to test virtual reality headsets for future lunar training.

Rough terrain, deep shadows and blinding light – training for lunar missions means facing an environment unlike anything on Earth. At the ESA-DLR LUNA analogue facility, virtual reality (VR) technology makes it possible for astronauts to immerse themselves in a 360-degree simulation of the lunar surface without leaving the ground.

London, UK (SPX) Apr 14, 2025
A new analysis from Novaspace, a prominent space sector consultancy, warns that the rapidly expanding satellite population is pushing orbital collision risk toward a critical tipping point. To confront this growing challenge, the firm has launched its inaugural Space Situational and Domain Awareness (SSDA) Market Intelligence Report. "With the increasing deployment of mega-constellations i
