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

The construction phase of ESA’s Ariel mission has started at Airbus Defence and Space in Toulouse (France) with the assembly of the spacecraft’s structural model. This marks a significant step forward for this mission designed to meticulously inspect the atmospheres of a thousand exoplanets and uncover their nature.

In the image we see Ariel’s structural model coming together at the Airbus facilities. This model replicates the mechanical framework of the spacecraft and the mass of its various units for a first round of tough testing.

The Ariel’s structural model consists of two main components: a flight-like replica of the service
