Physicists from Goethe University Frankfurt and the Tsung-Dao Lee Institute in Shanghai have taken a new approach to one of the most profound mysteries in science: whether all black holes conform to Einstein’s theory of general relativity or if alternative forms could exist.
An incredible view of a stellar nursery was captured by Euclid when its infrared camera peered through the LDN 1641 dark cloud in Orion. This ability to see past obscuring dust demonstrates the telescope's power as it embarks on its primary mission: mapping the dark Universe.
The European Space Agency (ESA) has officially launched the study phase of its pilot project HOBI-WAN (Hydrogen-oxidising bacteria in weightlessness as a source of nutrition).
Astronomers have captured a haunting image of a vast nebula, dubbed the “cosmic bat,” spreading its crimson wings 10,000 light-years away. This massive stellar nursery, captured by ESO's VST, glows as newborn stars ignite gas and dust.
Aalborg hosted Europe’s space debate at the 2025 Danish Space Conference this October, bringing together policymakers, researchers, entrepreneurs, and students to discuss the European Union’s growing ambitions in space, defence, and innovation.
Scientists have finally found direct evidence of small-scale torsional Alfvén waves in the Sun’s corona, solving an 80-year-old solar mystery. These elusive magnetic waves could be the energy source that powers the Sun’s multi-million-degree outer atmosphere.
The UK recently welcomed over 140 experts from across NATO member states, industry, academia, and international organisations for a high-level meeting focused on dual-use space technologies.
A new study from Kyoto University has shown that white dwarfs, which were once thought to be relatively cool and dormant, can be significantly hotter than expected when locked in tight orbits with another star.
A new manufacturing facility has been opened in Hardwickle, Gloucestershire. The 45,000 sq ft plant, established by advanced composites firm iCOMAT, is set to revolutionise the way lightweight structures for space applications are designed and built.
A milestone has been reached in the search for planets beyond our solar system. The European Space Agency's (ESA) Plato spacecraft has officially completed construction, with the final fitting of its sunshield and solar array module now in place.
The European Union's Earth observation capabilities are about to take another leap forward as Sentinel-1D, the latest addition to the Copernicus satellite family, prepares for launch on 4 November 2025.
A world-first study proves microbes essential for human health can survive the extreme forces of a space rocket launch and re-entry unharmed.
This finding by RMIT University is a major step toward sustaining life on long-duration missions to Mars.
Scientists from the Universities of Birmingham and Sussex have unveiled a compact, ground-based detector that uses atomic clock technology to detect gravitational waves in the previously inaccessible milli-Hertz frequency band, opening a new cosmic frontier.
The NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) satellite has captured and transmitted its first images of Earth, which show the science and monitoring capabilities this mission will deliver soon.
Researchers have made a groundbreaking discovery: a colossal 185,000 light-year-long bridge of neutral hydrogen gas linking two dwarf galaxies, NGC 4532 and DDO 137. A vast 1.6 million light-year tail accompanies it, making it the longest ever observed.
