SwRI links Uranus radiation belt mystery to solar storm driven waves
Friday, 05 December 2025 02:25
SwRI scientists report that a reanalysis of Voyager 2 measurements suggests a powerful solar storm may explain why Uranus hosts an electron radiation belt far more intense than expected. They propose that a large-scale solar wind structure, known as a co-rotating interaction region, was passing through the Uranian system during the 1986 flyby, driving extreme space weather conditions that booste Martian butterfly crater reveals low angle impact and buried lava history
Friday, 05 December 2025 02:25
ESA's Mars Express orbiter has observed an impact crater in Mars's northern lowlands whose shape resembles a butterfly, created when an incoming space rock struck the surface at a shallow angle. The main crater, which appears somewhat like a walnut from orbit, measures about 20 km east to west and 15 km north to south and sits within the Idaeus Fossae region. The impact threw material preferenti Isolation and bed rest volunteers sought for future spaceflight research

DLR and ESA are recruiting volunteers for two human research campaigns at the :envihab aerospace medicine facility in Cologne that will simulate key aspects of long duration missions beyond low Earth orbit. The SOLIS100 isolation study will place six participants in a confined, spacecraft like habitat for 100 days, while the SMC3 bed rest study will keep 12 volunteers in head down tilt for 60 da Satellite surge threatens space telescopes, astronomers warn
Friday, 05 December 2025 02:25
Light from the half a million satellites that humanity is planning to launch into Earth's orbit in the coming years could contaminate almost all the images taken by space telescopes, NASA astronomers warned Wednesday.
Scientists have already been sounding the alarm about how light pollution from increasingly massive satellites threaten the future of dark skies seen from the ground.
