The moon is the only natural satellite of Earth. It is also the nearest celestial body to our planet, and selenology, or the study of the moon, is very important for scientists, as it can give them insights into other celestial bodies and advance planetary science. If we want to know the history of Earth, together with the history of our solar system, studying the moon is essential. The ex

So far, astrophysicists have only detected gravitational waves from binary systems - the mergers of either two black holes, two neutron stars or one of each. Although astrophysicists theoretically should be able to detect gravitational waves from a single, non-binary source, they have yet to uncover these elusive signals. Now Northwestern University researchers suggest looking at a new, un

In European space news, GomSpace and ESA have decided not to proceed to the next phase of the CubeMap mission, a climate observation initiative. The mission had been envisaged as a collaboration between the ESA, Denmark-based GomSpace, and UK-based RAL Space. In December 2021, GomSpace and RAL Space signed a contract with the European Space Agency (ESA) for the Scout-1 Mission, otherwise k

When the Hubble Space Telescope was launched in 1990, there were about 470 artificial satellites orbiting Earth. By 2000, that number doubled. But by 2023, the rising number has grown almost exponentially to nearly 8,000 satellites. For Hubble this means that satellites photobomb about 10% of its exposures on celestial targets. But a typical satellite trail is very thin and will affect less than

New research from the RAND Corporation underscores the urgent necessity for the establishment of an International Space Traffic Management Organization (ISTMO). This conclusion comes as a response to the ballooning population of active satellites and other debris orbiting Earth, which is edging the world closer to a critical tipping point in space traffic management (STM). With almost 7,000 acti
