Six years after NASA's Dawn mission completed its historic exploration of Ceres and Vesta, scientists continue to uncover remarkable insights about the largest bodies in the asteroid belt. A recent study led by the Instituto de Astrofisica de Andalucia (IAA-CSIC) reveals eleven new areas on Ceres that suggest the presence of a substantial internal reservoir of organic materials.

Astronomers have identified a fourth planet in the Kepler-51 system, a discovery led by researchers at Penn State and Osaka University using data from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). The system, previously known for its three ultra-low density "super-puff" planets, gained a new dimension as the unexpected orbital behavior of Kepler-51d revealed the presence of an additional planet.

Lab-based research forms the foundation of modern scientific inquiry, but it often falls short in replicating real-world experiences. This limitation is particularly pronounced in fields like cognitive neuroscience and neuropsychology, where environmental stressors significantly impact human thought and behavior.

Instruments aboard robotic landers have measured seismicity on the Moon and Mars, helping researchers learn about the inner workings of those celestial bodies. But the internal makeup of Venus is still not known, in part because high winds and blistering temperatures make it significantly more difficult to detect quakes on the second planet from the Sun.

Proba-3 is such an ambitious mission that it needs more than one single spacecraft to succeed. In order for Proba-3’s Coronagraph spacecraft to observe the Sun’s faint surrounding atmosphere, its disk-bearing Occulter spacecraft must block out the fiery solar disk. This means Proba-3’s Occulter ends up facing the Sun continuously, making it a valuable platform for science in its own right.
Proba-3 is scheduled for launch on a PSLV-XL rocket from Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, India, on Wednesday, 4 December, at 11:38 CET (10:38 GMT, 16:08 local time).
