A recent breakthrough in the field of gravitational wave detection has been achieved by scientists in China, who have found vital evidence of nanohertz gravitational waves, thanks to pulsar timing observations performed with the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST).
The study was spearheaded by the Chinese Pulsar Timing Array (CPTA), a collaborative group of researc Flight software for Artemis II meets testing checkpoint

Europe's space telescope launches to target universe's dark mysteries
Saturday, 01 July 2023 15:54
Europe's Euclid space telescope blasted off Saturday on the first-ever mission aiming to shed light on two of the universe's greatest mysteries: dark energy and dark matter.
The telescope successfully took off from Cape Canaveral, Florida, at 11:12 am local time (1512 GMT) on a Falcon 9 rocket from the US company SpaceX.
The European Space Agency was forced to turn to billionaire Elon Musk's firm to launch the mission after Russia pulled its Soyuz rockets in response to sanctions over the war in Ukraine.
After a month-long journey through space, Euclid will join its fellow space telescope James Webb at a stable hovering spot around 1.5 million kilometers (more than 930,000 miles) from Earth called the second Lagrange Point.

ESA’s latest astrophysics mission, Euclid, lifted off on a Space X Falcon 9 from Cape Canaveral in Florida, USA, at 17:12 CEST on 1 July 2023.
Euclid has now started its month-long journey to Sun-Earth Lagrange point L2, located 1.5 million kilometres from Earth, in the opposite direction from the Sun.
The telescope will survey one third of the sky with unprecedented accuracy and sensitivity. By observing billions of galaxies out to 10 billion light-years, it will create the most extensive 3D-map of the Universe, with the third dimension representing time.
