Dragon rider Webb identifies tiniest free-floating brown dwarf
Wednesday, 13 December 2023 14:00
Discovery helps answer the question: How small can you go when forming stars?
Brown dwarfs are sometimes called failed stars, since they form like stars through gravitational collapse, but never gain enough mass to ignite nuclear fusion. The smallest brown dwarfs can overlap in mass with giant planets. In a quest to find the smallest brown dwarf, astronomers using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope have found the new record-holder: an object weighing just three to four times the mass of Jupiter.

Launch of secret Space Force orbital platform targets Wednesday evening
Wednesday, 13 December 2023 10:30
SpaceX has announced further revisions to the schedule for the Falcon Heavy's launch of the USSF-52 mission. The launch, initially set for December 10 and then the 11th and 12th, is now targeted for no earlier than Wednesday, December 13 at 8:14 p.m. ET. This latest delay stems from a 'ground side issue', marking a deviation from the earlier weather-related postponement. SpaceX has also prepared a backup launch opportunity for Wednesday, December 14, should it be necessary. Iota Technology Partners with AAC Clyde Space for Earth Magnetic Field Mission
Wednesday, 13 December 2023 10:30
AAC Clyde Space, a leader in small satellite technology, has recently been awarded a significant contract by Iota Technology to spearhead a pioneering satellite mission. This project, a key component of the MagQuest competition, aims to enhance our understanding of the Earth's magnetic field. The total value of the order is approximately GBP 1.94 million, translating to around SEK 25.5 million. New project will take a step towards answering whether gravity is quantum

Scientists are developing an experiment to test whether gravity is quantum - one of the deepest questions about our universe.
General relativity and quantum mechanics are the two most fundamental descriptions of nature we have. General relativity explains gravity on large scales while quantum mechanics explains the behaviour of atoms and molecules.
Arguably the most important unsolve NASA Sensor Produces First Global Maps of Surface Minerals in Arid Regions
Wednesday, 13 December 2023 10:30
NASA's EMIT mission has created the first comprehensive maps of the world's mineral dust-source regions, providing precise locations of 10 key minerals based on how they reflect and absorb light. When winds loft these substances into the air, they either cool or warm the atmosphere and Earth's surface, depending on their composition. Understanding their abundance around the globe will help resea Particle physicists put forward research priorities for coming decade

Trailer of the ExoMars Rosalind Franklin mission.
In 2028, ESA will launch its most ambitious exploration mission to search for past and present signs of life on Mars.
Enjoy the ExoMars Rosalind Franklin mission in minute detail – everything down to the colour and size of the wires, sticky tape and scratches. The spacecraft, the rover and martian landscapes are as true to reality as possible for a simulation. The visuals show the spacecraft structural engineering with a faithful robotic appearance. The martian landscape has been simulated with meticulous realism.
The story begins with the rover exploring the surface of
