Find out why NASA recorded slower global sea level rise in 2025: a mild La Niña increased rains over the Amazon and temporarily kept water on land. Sentinel-6 satellites and GRACE-FO and Argo data show that oceans continue to warm at record levels, so the accelerated trend of sea level rise returns as soon as water is released back into the sea.
Learn how astronomers from the University of Virginia (UVA) used the Very Large Array radiotelescope to catch the first radio signal from a rare Type Ibn supernova. Data reveals how much mass the star lost just before the explosion, where the helium-rich gas is located, and why everything points to a binary system.
Find out what NASA's Juno spacecraft discovered during its close flyby of Europa: microwave measurements have narrowed the debate on ice shell thickness and shown how complex the path for oxygen and nutrients to the subsurface ocean is. We bring context for Europa Clipper and ESA's JUICE and what this means for the search for habitable conditions.
Find out how the AnomalyMatch tool, developed by ESA researchers, searched nearly 100 million cutouts from the Hubble Legacy Archive and in a short time extracted more than 1300 rare phenomena, including hundreds of previously undocumented anomalies. We bring you what this means for the search for gravitational lenses, galaxy collisions, and other cosmic 'needles in a haystack'.
Find out what the first images from Meteosat Third Generation-Sounder (MTG-S1) presented in Brussels reveal: the new infrared sounder measures temperature and humidity in atmospheric layers, helps spot storms over Europe and North Africa earlier, and carries Copernicus Sentinel-4 for hourly pollution monitoring.
Learn how ESA’s Biomass, the first satellite with a P-band SAR radar, is moving into scientific operations after commissioning and opening free data on forest biomass and carbon stocks. We report on what the first maps from Central Africa, airborne calibration over Gabon, and the workshop in Ljubljana mean, and why they are important for climate policies.
