Space missions, p Magnifying deep space through the "Carousel Lens"
Tuesday, 24 September 2024 14:00
In a rare and extraordinary discovery, researchers have identified a unique configuration of galaxies that form the most exquisitely aligned gravitational lens found to date. The Carousel Lens is a massive cluster-scale gravitational lens system that will enable researchers to delve deeper into the mysteries of the cosmos, including dark matter and dark energy.

When Jared Bryan talks about his seismology research, it's with a natural finesse. He's a fifth-year PhD student working with MIT Assistant Professor William Frank on seismology research, drawn in by the lab's combination of GPS observations, satellites, and seismic station data to understand the underlying physics of earthquakes. He has no trouble talking about seismic velocity in fault zones o New study suggests Earth's mantle is more chemically uniform than previously thought
Tuesday, 24 September 2024 14:00
Lavas from volcanic hotspots around the world, such as Hawaii, Samoa, and Iceland, likely come from a chemically uniform reservoir in Earth's mantle, according to new research published in 'Nature Geoscience'. The study challenges the long-standing belief that the mantle contains chemically distinct reservoirs.
The research suggests that Earth's mantle is more homogeneous than scientists h Draco mission made for destruction
Tuesday, 24 September 2024 12:00
Over the nearly 70 years of spaceflight, about 10 000 intact satellites and rocket bodies have reentered the atmosphere with many more to follow. Yet for such a ubiquitous event, we still lack a clear view on what actually happens to a satellite during its fiery last moments.
ESA is preparing the Destructive Reentry Assessment Container Object (Draco) mission that will collect unique measurements during an actual reentry and breakup of a satellite from the inside. A capsule especially designed to survive the destruction will transmit the valuable telemetry shortly after.

At the International Space station, researchers are making strides in everything from Earth science to chemical properties. Here's what they're up to and why it matters.
Recently, researchers have found that eddies, or swirling wind patterns, increased moisture evaporation in an alfalfa field. A better understanding of the complex exchange of water and heat between the ground and atmosphere could improve remote sensing products and their use in agricultural water management.
The station's ECOSTRESS instrument takes high-resolution thermal infrared measurements of Earth's surface that provide data on changes in water availability, vegetation water stress, and agricultural water use. Researchers use observations from the USGS Landsat 8 and 9 satellites and ECOSTRESS to validate climate models and update data on Earth's surface energy (the amount of energy absorbed from the sun and radiated back into the atmosphere).
