The International Space Station is not just a human outpost in space, but the most advanced laboratory ever built. Research in microgravity, from the development of new drugs and alloys to understanding climate change and the mysteries of dark matter, directly affects our lives on Earth and shapes the future
In the heart of Chile's Atacama Desert, the Giant Magellan Telescope, the world's most powerful optical telescope, is being built. Images up to 10 times sharper than those from the Hubble telescope will enable the search for life on exoplanets, explore the first galaxies, and discover the deepest secrets of the universe, setting a new era in astronomy.
The European Union launches IRIS², a monumental project of a secure satellite constellation to achieve digital sovereignty. The system will use advanced technologies, including quantum cryptography, and the European Space Agency (ESA) now employs key experts to implement it.
Astronomers have confirmed the discovery of the third interstellar visitor, comet 3I/ATLAS, which is speeding through our Solar System. This giant object, tracked by the ESA, poses no threat to Earth and offers scientists a unique insight into the composition of distant worlds while awaiting the Comet Interceptor mission
