Global climate shifts this year are likely to disrupt food production throughout the world, straining food security worldwide.
NASA is considering reducing the budget for the Chandra X-Ray Observatory and Hubble Space Telescope as the space agency grapples with its spending for the upcoming year.
The Chandra X-ray Observatory didn’t exist in 1838, when the Eta Carinae star system started to brighten as it ejected material in an event named the “Great Eruption.” But traces of the eruption remain, and a timelapse has now been created by compiling 20 years of the space telescope’s data to sho
No space-based gravitational wave observatory exists…yet. But that hasn’t stopped a team of astronomers from demonstrating how the gravitational universe might look, using simulated data to create a “synthetic gravitational sky.”
For the past 17 years, a lone spacecraft has been following Earth’s tracks in its orbit around the Sun and capturing unprecedented views of our host star.
The European Space Agency’s Euclid mission took over 11 years to get off the ground (and Earth), but now the nascent space observatory has produced its first test images of the cosmos.
