Research with NASA's James Webb telescope has revealed significant differences in the atmosphere of the exoplanet WASP-39 b between its morning and evening sides. The planet exhibits extreme temperature differences and different cloud patterns, providing new insights into the dynamics of exoplanetary atmospheres.
The PLATO mission, which will use advanced cameras to explore rocky exoplanets in the habitable zone of sun-like stars, will launch at the end of 2026. PLATEAU will enable accurate measurements and discoveries of new worlds.
Astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams remain on the International Space Station due to technical difficulties with Boeing's Starliner spacecraft. The extended stay allows for additional testing and safety checks before returning to Earth
Astronauts often report that their food in space is becoming tasteless. Our research uses VR technology to simulate space conditions and study how this affects the perception of smell and taste.
Engineers and scientists are developing advanced technologies for Mars colonization, including 3D printing of residential structures and creating an atmosphere suitable for life. These efforts could transform Mars into a habitable planet and bring new technologies that will enhance life on Earth
A team of astronomers using the Hubble Telescope has created a three-dimensional model of star motion in the Draco galaxy, bringing us closer to understanding dark matter. Years of observations bring new insights into the evolution of galaxies and the distribution of dark matter.
