Revolutionary data from the Solar Orbiter mission, led by ESA and NASA, revealed that super-fast electrons from the sun come from two different sources: solar flares and coronal mass ejections. This discovery is crucial for more accurate forecasting of space weather and protection of satellites, astronauts and technology on Earth.
The James Webb Space Telescope delivers a spectacular new image of the Butterfly Star, IRAs 04302+2247. This unique protoplanetary disc, seen from the edge, provides unprecedented insight into the earliest stages of planet formation. Discover how scientists study this cosmic cradle 525 light-years away.
The retirement of the International Space Station in 2030 and cuts in NASA'S budget put the US at risk of losing space dominance. As America faces a potential vacuum in low-earth orbit, China is making unstoppable progress with its Tiangong station and plans for the moon, threatening to take the lead.
A revolutionary orbital data center, a project of Axiom Space and Red Hat, has arrived at the International Space Station (ISS). This technology will enable real-time data processing directly in orbit, reducing dependence on communication with the Earth and laying the groundwork for future commercial space stations.
NASA and SpaceX Crew-10 astronauts have safely returned after six months aboard the ISS. Their work on dozens of studies brings crucial advances in the development of new therapies for cancer and osteoarthritis, the creation of materials for advanced robotics, and the development of technologies for the removal of hazardous space debris.
The James Webb Space Telescope captured stunningly detailed infrared images of the heart of the Butterfly Nebula (NGC 6302). The location of the previously hidden central star was revealed, the chemical composition of the dusty torus shaping the nebula was analyzed, and complex organic molecules were discovered in its wings
