NASA probe makes closest ever pass by the Sun
Tuesday, 24 December 2024 13:51NASA's pioneering Parker Solar Probe made history Tuesday, flying closer to the Sun than any other spacecraft with its heat shield exposed to scorching temperatures of more than 1,700 degrees Fahrenheit (930 degrees Celsius). Launched in August 2018, the spaceship is on a seven-year mission to deepen scientific understanding of our star and help forecast space-weather events that can affect
NASA schedules heliophysics missions for September 2025 launch
Tuesday, 24 December 2024 09:16NASA and SpaceX have announced a revised target of September 2025 for the launch of the Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) spacecraft. The updated schedule allows for additional time to complete final preparations for the IMAP flight systems ahead of its launch aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. IMAP's primary mission is to study the heliosphere, a protective magnetic bubble
China Mission unveils revival of Lunar magnetic field on far side of Moon
Tuesday, 24 December 2024 09:16Rock samples collected by China's Chang'e-6 lunar probe from the moon's far side have unveiled key insights into the evolution of the lunar magnetic field. Published in the journal Nature, the analysis of these samples reveals an unexpected resurgence in the moon's magnetic field strength 2.8 billion years ago, following a significant decline around 3.1 billion years ago. This discovery ch
SwRI to develop magnetometers for NOAA's Space Weather Next Program
Tuesday, 24 December 2024 09:16NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) have awarded Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) a $26 million contract to design and build advanced magnetometers for the Space Weather Next (SW Next) program. These instruments will play a key role in two missions slated for launch in 2029 and 2032, providing critical measurements of the interplanetary magnetic field transport
UT researchers secure $17.8M grant for cutting-edge hypersonic wind tunnel
Tuesday, 24 December 2024 09:16Researchers from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, have been awarded a $17.8 million grant by the U.S. Air Force to construct a hypersonic wind tunnel at the UT Space Institute in Tullahoma, Tennessee. The facility will test advanced materials, such as high-temperature ceramics, under the extreme conditions of hypersonic flight - speeds exceeding Mach 5, or five times the speed of sound.
First integration of European reusable stage demonstrator Themis
Tuesday, 24 December 2024 09:16ArianeGroup has successfully completed the initial mechanical integration of Themis, the European reusable launcher first stage demonstrator, at its Les Mureaux facility in France. Standing 28 meters tall, the prototype comprises the Multi-Engine Bay (MEB), tanks, the Flight Control Bay (FCB), and the upper segment that completes the stage structure. The Themis demonstrator will be p
Jovian vortex hunter catalog reveals stunning insights into Jupiter's atmosphere
Tuesday, 24 December 2024 09:16The Jovian Vortex Hunter project has released a groundbreaking catalog of 7,222 atmospheric vortices on Jupiter, showcasing immense swirling storms captured over the last two years. Each vortex represents a powerful atmospheric phenomenon within the gas giant's turbulent skies, with thousands of volunteers contributing to this unprecedented effort. Vortices are categorized by color, with "
Cutting edge satellite monitors water levels in Ohio River Basin
Tuesday, 24 December 2024 09:16The Ohio River Basin, spanning from Pennsylvania to Illinois, covers an area nearly as large as France and is home to over 25 million people. A collaborative effort between NASA and the French space agency CNES (Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales) through the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission now provides researchers with a valuable tool to monitor water levels in lakes, reservoi
Dark energy theory challenged by evidence of a 'lumpy' Universe
Tuesday, 24 December 2024 09:16A groundbreaking study from researchers at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand proposes that dark energy, a long-debated concept in cosmology, may not exist. Using improved supernovae light curve analyses, the team argues the Universe's expansion is far more irregular than previously believed, rendering dark energy unnecessary to explain its accelerating rate. For over a century, p
Webb Telescope detects new population of small Main Belt Asteroids
Tuesday, 24 December 2024 09:16The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has expanded its role in solar system research, revealing a previously undetectable population of small asteroids within the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. A team from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) used Webb's observations of the star TRAPPIST-1 to identify 138 new asteroids ranging in size from a bus to a stadium. These
