00:04:21
Europe’s first MetOp Second Generation, MetOp-SG-A1, weather satellite – which hosts the Copernicus Sentinel-5 mission – has launched aboard an Ariane 6 rocket from the European spaceport in French Guiana. The rocket lifted off on 13 August at 02:37 CEST (12 August 21:37 Kourou time).
MetOp-SG-A1 is the first in a series of three successive pairs of satellites. The mission as a whole not only ensures the continued delivery of global observations from polar orbit for weather forecasting and climate analysis for more than 20 years, but also offers enhanced accuracy and resolution compared to the original MetOp mission – along with new measurement capabilities to expand its scientific

Thursday, 14 August 2025 06:51
A new artificial intelligence tool developed by researchers at the University of Hawai'i (UH) at Manoa is making it easier for scientists to explore complex geoscience data-from tracking sea levels on Earth to analyzing atmospheric conditions on Mars. Called the Intelligent Data Exploring Assistant (IDEA), the software framework combines the power of large language models, like those used in Cha Planets without water could still produce certain liquids
Thursday, 14 August 2025 06:51
Water is essential for life on Earth. So, the liquid must be a requirement for life on other worlds. For decades, scientists' definition of habitability on other planets has rested on this assumption.
But what makes some planets habitable might have very little to do with water. In fact, an entirely different type of liquid could conceivably support life in worlds where water can barely ex
