Using data collected by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), an international team of astronomers has discovered evidence of a neutron star in the remnants of a recent supernova. This groundbreaking finding provides valuable insights into the evolution of massive stars and the formation of compact objects in the universe. The supernova, known as SN […]

Black holes have long captivated scientists and astronomers with their mysterious nature. These incredibly powerful objects, found at the centers of galaxies, possess immense gravitational pulls that can draw in surrounding cosmic material such as gasses, planets, stars, and more. As this material spirals into the black hole, it forms large accretion disks that become […]

In December 1993, the Hubble Space Telescope underwent a critical repair mission after it was discovered that its optics were faulty. The telescope, which was launched in 1990, suffered from spherical aberration, meaning that the light rays did not converge at the same focal point. This affected the clarity and quality of the telescope’s observations. […]

The James Webb Space Telescope, a collaboration between NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA), and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA), has made a groundbreaking discovery. Scientists using the telescope have found water and other important molecules within the inner regions of a protoplanetary disk located around a star. What makes this finding even more remarkable […]

The European Space Agency (ESA) has announced that the long-awaited maiden flight of the Ariane 6 rocket is scheduled to take place between June 15 and July 31, 2024. This exciting news comes after a successful hot-fire test of the Vulcain 2.1 core stage engine, which took place on November 23. The test involved a […]

The European Space Agency (ESA) has recently released the first full-color images from its latest space telescope, Euclid. This telescope is designed to study the nature and distribution of dark matter and dark energy in the universe. The unveiling of Euclid’s first five images took place during a video broadcast on November 7. These images […]

The recent ESA-EU Space Summit held in Seville, Spain, brought attention to the evolving future of the European Space Agency (ESA) and European spaceflight. The summit highlighted the need for a paradigm shift in Europe’s space ambitions, particularly in relation to the gap between Ariane 5 and Ariane 6 launch vehicles. The focus was on […]

Scientists have made an exciting discovery at Jupiter’s equator using the James Webb Space Telescope. They have found a high-speed jet stream that had previously gone unnoticed. This newfound jet stream will provide valuable insights into how the layers of Jupiter’s turbulent atmosphere interact.The discovery was made on July 27, 2022, when the James Webb […]

Scientists Solve Mystery Behind Marsquake A team of international scientists has successfully determined the cause of the largest seismic event ever recorded on Mars. This seismic event, also known as a Marsquake, occurred on May 4, 2022, and was observed by NASA’s InSight Mars lander. After ruling out a meteor impact, the team concluded that […]

Arianespace’s Vega Rocket Scrubs Penultimate Flight, Delaying Launch of 12 Satellites Arianespace’s lightweight Vega rocket was forced to scrub its penultimate flight on Friday, delaying the launch of 12 satellites, including the THEOS-2 Earth-observation satellite for Thailand and Taiwan’s Triton weather satellite. The liftoff was scheduled for 10:36 PM local time from the Centre Spatial […]
