Student Led Mission Designs Highlight The Challenges Of Engineering In Space

There are plenty of engineering challenges facing space exploration missions, most of which are specific to their missions objectives. However, there are some that are more universal, especially regarding electronics. A new paper primarily written by a group of American students temporarily studying at Escuela Tecnica Superior de Ingenieria in Madrid, attempts to lay out plans to tackle several of those challenges for a variety of mission architectures.

What has Webb Taught Us About Rocky Exoplanets So Far?

The hunt for potentially habitable rocky planets in our galaxy has been the holy grail of exoplanet studies for decades. While the discovery of over 5,900 exoplanets in over 4.400 planetary systems has been a remarkable achievement, only a small fraction (217) have been confirmed as terrestrial - aka. rocky or "Earth-like." Furthermore, obtaining accurate information on a rocky exoplanet's atmosphere is very difficult, since potentially habitable rocky planets are much smaller and tend to orbit closer to their stars.

The Most Massive Black Hole Merger Ever

In 2016, scientists with the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) made history with the first-ever detection of Gravitational Waves (GWs). These events, originally predicted by Einstein's Theory of Relativity, are caused by the merger of dense objects like neutron stars and black holes. Since then, the LIGO team partnered with the Virgo Gravitational Wave Interferometer (Virgo) in Italy and the Kamioka Gravitational Wave Detector (KAGRA) in Japan to form the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) Collaboration.

These Massive Runaway Stars Were Birthed in a Chaotic Cluster

Stars are born in clusters, and the early days in these clusters are messy. Stars move chaotically and haven't settled into regular routines. Inevitably, some stars are kicked out of their birth clusters through all of the gravitational interactions.

A Star is Dissolving its Baby Planet

Stars and planets are naturally associated with one another. While some planets have gone rogue and are drifting through space, the vast majority are in solar systems, where they're gravitationally bound and orbit their stars in predictable ways. But some planets stray too close to their stars, with dire consequences. These exoplanets have something to teach us about the exoplanet population.

NASA X-ray spacecraft reveals secrets of a powerful, spinning neutron star

Observations of a pulsar, consisting of a dead star spinning 600 times a second, and feasting on a stellar companion reveal the source powering its emissions.

NASA won't publish key climate change report online, citing 'no legal obligation' to do so

NASA will not host the U.S. government's primary climate assessment reports on its website after all, despite a White House claim that they would be available via the space agency.
