For the first time, the James Webb Space Telescope directly measured the chemistry and physics of a circumplanetary disk around CT Cha b, 625 light-years away. Carbon-rich gas and dust reveal the construction site of the moon and offer a comparison with the early solar system, while traces of water stand out in the stellar disk.
Ten years after the first detection of gravitational waves, scientists have confirmed Stephen Hawking's black hole surface theorem. By analyzing the extremely clear signal GW250114, the LVK detector network has proven that the area of black holes at the junction cannot be reduced, which opens a new chapter in the understanding of enigmatic space objects.
Researchers at mit have developed MultiverSeg, an advanced AI system that solves the problem of slow segmentation of medical images. This innovative tool learns from user interactions, dramatically reduces manual work and accelerates clinical research, which can lead to faster development of new therapies and medicines.
New, spectacular infrared images from the James Webb Space Telescope reveal unprecedented details of the Sagittarius B2 molecular cloud, the most active star birth site in our Milky Way galaxy. Take a peek into the chaotic heart of the galaxy, located near the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A*, and learn why this region is key to understanding star formation.
A new study by ESA, DLR, and OHB brings a system for autonomous navigation that eliminates dependence on Earth. By using optical flow and star trackers, spacecraft can now determine their own orbit, opening the door to cheaper and more robust missions to explore the Moon and other planets
The European Space Agency (ESA) has selected WIVERN as the 11th Earth Explorer mission. For the first time in history, this advanced satellite will measure the wind speed within the cloud using Doppler radar, which will drastically improve forecasts of dangerous weather events and provide key data for more accurate climate models.
