Artificial solar eclipses in space could shed light on Sun
London, UK (SPX) Jul 09, 2025
Recreating artificial solar eclipses in space could help astronomers decipher the inner workings of our Sun much quicker than if they had to wait for the celestial show on Earth.
The plan, part of a UK-led space mission to be unveiled at the Royal Astronomical Society's National Astronomy Meeting 2025 in Durham, would involve the use of a mini-satellite and the Moon's shadow to achieve the

Helicity barrier discovery sheds light on how solar plasma heats and flows
London, UK (SPX) Jul 09, 2025
Scientists have obtained the clearest evidence yet for a long-theorized mechanism that alters how energy is dissipated in the Sun's atmosphere, helping explain the high temperatures and rapid acceleration of the solar wind. Drawing on data from NASA's Parker Solar Probe, researchers investigated how turbulent energy behaves in the collisionless plasma near the Sun.

Life on Venus? UK probe could reveal the answer
London, UK (SPX) Jul 14, 2025
The answer to whether tiny bacterial lifeforms really do exist in the clouds of Venus could be revealed once-and-for-all by a UK-backed mission.
Over the past five years researchers have detected the presence of two potential biomarkers - the gases phosphine and ammonia - which on Earth can only be produced by biological activity and industrial processes.

Cold atom experiment validates Fermi acceleration predicted in cosmic ray theory
London, UK (SPX) Jul 14, 2025
Scientists have achieved a major milestone in astrophysics by recreating a process theorized over 70 years ago: Fermi acceleration, the key mechanism behind cosmic ray generation. Using ultracold atoms and engineered optical barriers, researchers successfully built a controllable particle accelerator just 100 micrometres wide.
