Five new UK-based projects will use satellite data to drive innovation in public services, following over £2.5 million in funding from the UK Space Agency and the European Space Agency’s InCubed2 programme.
A team of astronomers at the University of Hawai'i's Institute for Astronomers (IfA) have discovered a new type of cosmic explosion that exceeds anything observed previously.
In a groundbreaking feat, telescopes in Chile have detected 13-billion-year-old light from the Big Bang, scattered by the universe's first stars. This achievement, once thought impossible from Earth, offers vital insights into the Cosmic Dawn and the early evolution of our universe.
New observations from the James Webb Space Telescope reveal the surprising origin of the ultra-hot exoplanet WASP-121b. Detecting atmospheric methane and silicon monoxide suggests this ultra-hot world formed in a colder, distant region akin to our outer Solar System, then migrated inward.
New research offers compelling evidence for intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs), the "missing links" in black hole evolution. These studies provide unprecedented insights into the universe's earliest stars and galaxy formation, bridging the gap between stellar and supermassive black holes.
A team of international astronomers has discovered a mysterious and perplexing cosmic object in our Milky Way galaxy that challenges our current understanding of how stars behave.
A new robotics demonstration by the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) and space technology company Space Solar has taken big steps towards constructing...
The Directorate-General for Defence Industry and Space (DG DEFIS) has officially launched an open call for local organisers for the third edition of the EUDIS Hackathon, set to take place from 17 to 19 October 2025.
Mysterious, ultra-high-energy cosmic rays have baffled scientists for decades. Now, new research from Norway suggests supermassive black holes and their powerful winds might be the long-sought cosmic accelerators behind these extraordinary particles.
A team of astronomers led by Penn State has discovered that planet-forming materials can survive and persist even in some of the most extreme environments in our galaxy.
NASA’s Europa Clipper spacecraft, launched on October 14, 2024, has reached a significant milestone as one of its key scientific instruments, the Ultraviolet Spectrograph (UVS), completed initial commissioning.
Galactic turbulence, a cosmic enigma influencing everything from star formation to particle movement, has been simulated with unprecedented precision. The surprising results challenge long-held theories about energy flow in the vast interstellar medium.
Scientists have identified a mysterious X-ray source, known as AX J145732−590 located far beyond our own Milky Way. Observations using X-ray telescopes suggest this object, previously hidden by the dense material within our galaxy, is a large collection of galaxies.
