 Hampton, VA (SPX) Apr 01, 2019 
It probably goes without saying, but this isn't your everyday satellite dish.
In fact, it's not a satellite dish at all. It's a high-gain antenna (HGA), and a future version of it will send and receive signals to and from Earth from a looping orbit around Jupiter.
The antenna will take that long journey aboard NASA's Europa Clipper, a spacecraft that will conduct detailed reconnaissa ... more |

 Berlin, Germany (SPX) Apr 01, 2019 
Earth is a very special planet. It is the only celestial body in the solar system on which we know life exists. Could there be life on other planets or moons? Mars is always the first to be mentioned in this context; it has many properties in common with Earth, and in its geological past water also flowed over its surface.
Today, however, conditions on Mars are so extreme that it is hard t ... more |

The study of stellar activity associates many aspects of stellar physics. In the past 40 years, the understanding of stellar activity and its relation with stellar structure and evolution has obtained great progress. One landmark is the discovery of the activity-rotation relation, which indicates the connection between stellar activity and stellar evolution.
However, there are still some f ... more |

 Seoul, South Korea (SPX) Apr 03, 2019 
A new study, published this week in the journal Nature Climate Change, shows that the recent intensification of the equatorial Pacific wind system, known as Walker Circulation, is unrelated to human influences and can be explained by natural processes. This result ends a long-standing debate on the drivers of an unprecedented atmospheric trend, which contributed to a three-fold acceleration of s ... more |

Space is the final frontier for resource exploitation. Asteroids orbiting near earth are masses of potential riches such as platinum, fresh water, and other resources scarce on earth. However, with this new technology for space mining there comes a host of unexplored questions about the complexities of taking from intergalactic sources.
First to be considered are the environmental implicat ... more |

 Stockholm, Sweden (SPX) Mar 24, 2019 
The ongoing climate changes make it increasingly difficult to predict certain aspects of weather, according to a new study from Stockholm University. The study, focusing on weather forecasts in the northern hemisphere spanning 3- 10 days ahead, concludes that the greatest uncertainty increase will be regarding summer downfalls, of critical importance when it comes to our ability to predict and p ... more |

 Moscow (Sputnik) Mar 28, 2019 
With arrays of new galaxies and their stars being discovered every day, it still remains unresolved if there is anyone, or anything, super-intelligent in control, and though the probability of the existence of extra-terrestrial civilizations is considered to be incredibly high, the evidence is a far cry from sufficient.
Members of METI (Messaging Extraterrestrial Intelligence), a San Franc ... more |

 London, UK (SPX) Mar 27, 2019 
UK astrophysicists are gearing up to resume the search for gravitational waves, the ripples in spacetime caused by some of the universe's most spectacular events, after substantial upgrades to the three global detectors mean that they will be able to survey an even larger volume of space than ever before for powerful, wave-making events, such as the collisions of black holes.
Over the last ... more |
