The young age of permanently shadowed areas on the Moon
Most of the Moon's permanently shadowed areas arose less than 2.2 billion years ago and some trapped ice during the recent past, research led by Planetary Science Institute Senior Scientist Norbert Schorghofer shows.
"These findings change the prediction for where we would expect to find water ice on the Moon, and it dramatically changes estimates for how much water ice there is on the Moo Mapping the Sun's Interaction with Mercury's Surface
A new study maps the infall of protons and electrons from the solar wind to geographical location on the surface of Mercury, giving scientists new insight into how interactions with the Sun alters the surface and produces Mercury's very thin atmosphere.
"Studies that have examined the infall of protons and electrons from the solar wind typically map the infall to the surface in terms of ti Successful entry into service of Eutelsat Hotbird 13F and 13G satellites
Eutelsat Communications (Euronext Paris: ETL) announces that its two high-power HOTBIRD 13F and HOTBIRD 13G satellites have entered into full commercial service. Located at Eutelsat's 13 degrees East flagship video neighbourhood, the satellites are reinforcing and enhancing the broadcast quality of around nine hundred television channels into more than 160 million homes across Europe, Northern A Sidus Space announces 180-Day extension on NASDAQ minimum pricing

European space loses chief of Spaceport
With great sadness, we announce the passing of Daniel de Chambure on 16 September 2023 at the age of 61, after a short period of severe illness. His loss will be deeply felt by his many colleagues and friends at ESA and by the wider space community.
Engineered compound shows promise in preventing bone loss in space
A study published in npj Microgravity, finds an engineered compound given to mice aboard the International Space Station (ISS) largely prevented the bone loss associated with time spent in space.
The study, led by a transdisciplinary team of professors at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) and the Forsyth Institute in Cambridge, Massachusetts, highlight a promising therapy to mitigate extreme bone loss from long-duration space travel as well as musculoskeletal degeneration on Earth.
Microgravity-induced bone loss has long been a critical concern for long-term space missions. Decreased mechanical loading due to microgravity induces bone loss at a rate 12-times greater than on Earth. Astronauts in low Earth orbit may experience bone loss up to 1% per month, endangering astronaut skeletal health and increasing risk for fractures during long-duration spaceflight and later in life.
The current mitigation strategy for bone loss relies on exercise-induced mechanical loading to promote bone formation but is far from perfect for crew members spending up to six months in microgravity.
Exercise does not always prevent bone loss, takes up valuable crew time, and may be contraindicated for certain types of injuries.
Parker probe observes powerful coronal mass ejection 'vacuum up' interplanetary dust
On Sept. 5, 2022, NASA's Parker Solar Probe soared gracefully through one of the most powerful coronal mass ejections (CMEs) ever recorded—not only an impressive feat of engineering, but a huge boon for the scientific community.
