China's only woman spaceflight engineer will be among a crew of three astronauts blasting off on a "dream" mission to the Tiangong space station this week, Beijing announced Tuesday. The new Tiangong team will carry out experiments with an eye to the space programme's ambitious goal of placing astronauts on the Moon by 2030 and eventually constructing a lunar base.

New research, funded in part by the European Space Agency (ESA), shows that the cool, thin layer at the ocean's surface - known as the "ocean skin" - allows oceans to absorb significantly more atmospheric carbon dioxide than previously estimated. This discovery could lead to more precise global carbon assessments and support better-informed emissions policies. The world's oceans take in ab
