How Bubble Muscles Could Help Astronauts Get Their Space Legs

When astronauts finally reach Mars, they'll face a unique challenge: walking and working in gravity that's only 37% as strong as Earth's. After spending months in the weightlessness of space, their weakened muscles and bones will struggle to cope with even this reduced gravity. Now, researchers at the University of Bristol have developed a promising solution; a soft, wearable exosuit powered by inflatable "bubble muscles."

Northern lights may be visible in these 18 US states tonight and over the weekend

Auroras may be seen from Alaska to Wyoming as Earth is buffeted by turbulent space weather.

Could the answers to cancer lie in space? Why off-Earth research is heating up

The space environment is not kind to human bodies. The final frontier may therefore be the perfect place to study cancer — and someday even treat it.

Supernovas may have triggered life-threatening changes in ancient Earth's climate. Scientists say it could happen again

Ancient supernovas may have blasted Earth with powerful radiation, causing dramatic changes in our climate, and could do so again, posing a threat to life.

1000 Hours with the Square Kilometre Array is Our Best Hope to Finally See Cosmic Dawn.

Scientists have created a groundbreaking computer simulation that mimics what the Square Kilometre Array Low-frequency (SKA-Low) telescope will see when it searches for signals from the universe's earliest epochs. This simulation represents a major step forward in preparing for one of astronomy's most ambitious goals: directly observing the Cosmic Dawn and Epoch of Reionisation.

Webb Shows Another Jupiter Forming in Real Time

The field of exoplanet studies continues to grow by leaps and bounds, with over 5,900 confirmed discoveries to date. Thanks to improved methods, instruments, and next-generation telescopes, the field is transitioning from exoplanet discovery to characterization. This is one of the main science objectives of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), and it has not disappointed! Thanks to Webb's advanced optics and sophisticated instruments, scientists can directly image exoplanets and gain new insights into how they form and what their atmospheres are composed of.

Supernova Explosions Changed Earth's Climate and Shaped Humanity's History

Most scientists agree that supernova explosions have affected Earth's climate, though the details are not all clear. They likely cooled the climate several times in the last several thousand years, just as humanity was becoming established around the world. The evidence is in telescopes and tree rings.

Distant Galaxy Has Similar Icy Dust to the Milky Way. So, Similar Planets?

For most of us, dust is just something we have to clean up. For astronomers, interstellar dust is a hindrance when they want to study distant objects. However, recent James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) observations of a distant galaxy are changing that. This infrared-sensitive observatory is letting them find a way to use dust to understand the evolution of early galaxies. In addition, it uncovered a special property of that galaxy's ice-covered dust, indicating it could be similar to the materials that formed our Solar System.

The Solar Orbiter is Giving Us an Unprecedented Look at the Sun's Poles

The ecliptic is the apparent path that the Sun follows during a year. It's an imaginary line that the planets follow, with some small deviations, around the Sun. Spacecraft find it easier to follow the ecliptic because it's generally more energy efficient. However, the Solar Orbiter isn't on the ecliptic and it's giving us our first up-close looks at the Sun's poles.

The Moon is Covered in Tiny Orange Glass Beads. Now We Know Why.

When Apollo astronauts first set foot on the lunar surface, they expected to find grey rocks and dust. What they didn't anticipate was discovering something that looked almost magical: tiny, brilliant orange glass beads scattered across the Moon's landscape like microscopic gems. These beads, each smaller than a grain of sand, are actually ancient time capsules from when the Moon was volcanically active billions of years ago. The beads formed some 3.3 to 3.6 billion years ago during volcanic eruptions on the surface of the then, young satellite.
