European students complete immersive analog Mars mission in Portugal
This pioneering analog mission, part of the EU-backed EXPLORE project, has brought a cohort of European high school students out of isolation following their participation in a simulated Mars expedition in Monsaraz, Portugal. Launched in 2023 under the Erasmus+ program, EXPLORE-short for EXpeditionary Program for Learning OppoRtunities in analog space Exploration-seeks to ignite interest in STEA LHAASO reveals hidden cosmic engines in high-energy Milky Way survey
China's Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) has unveiled a detailed high-energy gamma-ray map of the Milky Way, marking a milestone in the search for the origin of cosmic rays. Through its "Mini Survey of the Milky Way," LHAASO offers the most sensitive view yet of the galaxy in teraelectronvolt (TeV) to petaelectronvolt (PeV) gamma rays.

he birth, growth and future of our Universe are eternally fascinating.
In the last decades, telescopes have been able to observe the skies with unprecedented precision and sensitivity.
Our research team on the South Pole Telescope is studying how the Universe evolved and has changed over time. We have just released two years' worth of mapping of the infant universe over 1/25th of the Bioplastic shelters support algae growth in Mars-like conditions for space habitats

MTG-S1 and Copernicus Sentinel-4 mission highlights
Video:
00:03:30
Two meteorological missions – Meteosat Third Generation Sounder-1 (MTG-S1) and the Copernicus Sentinel-4 mission – have launched on board a SpaceX Falcon 9 from Cape Canaveral in Florida, US.
Both are world-class Earth observation missions developed with European partners to address scientific and societal challenges.
The MTG-S1 satellite will generate a completely new type of data product, especially suited to nowcasting severe weather events, with three-dimensional views of the atmosphere. It is the second in the MTG constellation to be prepared for orbit and is equipped with the first European operational Infrared Sounder instrument.
Copernicus Sentinel-4 will be the first
Clingy planets can trigger own doom, suspect Cheops and TESS
Astronomers using the European Space Agency’s Cheops mission have caught an exoplanet that seems to be triggering flares of radiation from the star it orbits. These tremendous explosions are blasting away the planet’s wispy atmosphere, causing it to shrink every year.
This is the first-ever evidence for a ‘planet with a death wish’. Though it was theorised to be possible since the nineties, the flares seen in this research are around 100 times more energetic than expected.
