Dust grains older than our sun found in Asteroid Ryugu samples
Microscopic grains of ancient material that predate our Sun's birth were found in samples returned from the asteroid Ryugu by the Hayabusa2 mission, according to new work from an international team led by Carnegie's Jens Barosch and Larry Nittler and published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters.
Named after a Japanese folktale, Ryugu is a near-Earth object shaped kind of like a spinning Series Futuristic Space Themed Centers
Space Hero, Lava and One Digital Entertainment has announced plans for the creation of Space Village, a series of 10 iconic futuristic space-inspired landmarks in different locations around the world. Space Village is designed by Alexander Rieck from German architectural firm LAVA. Each Space Village will feature a large space center and a glimpse of forward-looking technology that will stimulat Underwater snow gives clues about Europa's icy shell
Below Europa's thick icy crust is a massive, global ocean where the snow floats upwards onto inverted ice peaks and submerged ravines. The bizarre underwater snow is known to occur below ice shelves on Earth, but a new study shows that the same is likely true for Jupiter's moon, where it may play a role in building its ice shell.
The underwater snow is much purer than other kinds of ice, w Thailand's first comsat by mu Space Corp passes GISTDA tests

The series of heatwaves we are currently experiencing in western Europe is a clear sign of human-induced global warming. ESA’s Clement Albergel explains how we monitor these events using satellites such as the Copernicus Sentinel-3 mission and puts them in the context of the long-term climate data record generated via ESA’s Climate Change Initiative.
