Final data captured by the Copernicus Sentinel-1B satellite

The Sentinel-1B satellite, the second satellite of the Copernicus Sentinel-1 mission, completed its disposal process – which included lowering its orbit and passivating its systems to ensure re-entry into Earth’s atmosphere within 25 years.

This careful operation highlights the European Union’s and ESA’s commitment to space safety and sustainability and provides valuable experience for the disposal of current and future spacecraft.

In a new study, MIT physicists propose that if most of the dark matter in the universe is made up of microscopic primordial black holes - an idea first proposed in the 1970s - then these gravitational dwarfs should zoom through our solar system at least once per decade. A flyby like this, the researchers predict, would introduce a wobble into Mars' orbit, to a degree that today's technology coul

While tree planting is often promoted as a solution to climate change, planted forests can sometimes encroach on natural habitats such as forests, wetlands, and grasslands. This can lead to decreased biodiversity and disrupt essential processes like carbon and water cycling. Although global forest cover has been increasing, it has been difficult to determine whether this growth is due to the exp
