ESA wraps up 300-million-kilometre optical communication campaign
Over the summer, the European Space Agency ran an optical communication demonstration campaign using two observatories on Earth and NASA’s Psyche mission. All four optical links were successful.

This Copernicus Sentinel-3 image shows high concentrations of chlorophyll in yellow-green along the coastline of South Australia, near Adelaide. Chlorophyll-a is a key indicator of the presence of algae in the ocean. Latest launch of SpaceX's Starship deploys 8 dummy satellites, then splashes down into Indian Ocean

Real time navigation breakthrough with new algorithm OiSAM FGO
In the race to improve autonomous systems, researchers in China have unveiled a new algorithm that accelerates navigation while maintaining precision. Called Optimized iSAM-Factor Graph Optimization (OiSAM-FGO), the method halves processing times compared with leading benchmarks yet delivers accuracy equal to state-of-the-art solutions.
Traditional navigation tools face persistent trade-of Giant star stripped to its core reveals origins of silicon and sulfur
Researchers led by Northwestern University and the Weizmann Institute of Science have identified a rare type of supernova that exposes the hidden inner layers of a massive star, revealing where heavy elements such as silicon and sulfur are produced.
The discovery centers on SN2021yfj, a stellar explosion detected in September 2021 by the Zwicky Transient Facility. Unlike most observed supe Mapping star spots with NASA missions offers new insight into exoplanets
Scientists have developed a new technique to chart the star spots of distant suns using data from NASA's TESS and Kepler missions. The method, called StarryStarryProcess, builds on long-standing models of stellar spottiness and enhances how astronomers interpret transit light curves produced when planets cross their host stars.
Lead researcher Sabina Sagynbayeva of Stony Brook University e Model brings clarity to water rich exoplanets called steam worlds
For astrobiologists, the search for life beyond our solar system could be likened to where one would look in a vast desert-essentially, where there's water. And it turns out that one of the most common types of exoplanet observed in planetary systems beyond ours have a size and mass that indicate a water-rich interior. They are categorized as "sub-Neptunes" because their size and mass are betwee
