Hubble Space Telescope spies a spiral galaxy in a cosmic 'clock'
A dazzling new image from the Hubble Space Telescope captures a bright spiral galaxy on a diagonal tilt, resembling a pendulum swinging back and forth through space.
This Week's Sky at a Glance, September 27 – October 6
On these moonless evenings, Cassiopeia shows some of its inner workings. The Circlet of Pisces offers a very red star next to a little-known cross. From Vega, Lyra points away from the head of Draco.
Astronomers Find a Strange Lopsided Planet
I’ve often stated that planets come in a wide range of sizes but rarely do I find myself stating they come in a wide range of shapes too! The discovery of WASP-107b is a case in point since this planet is the size of Jupiter but only a tenth of its mass. But there’s more… Using the James Webb Space Telescope a team of astronomers have accurately identified that the planet has an east-west asymmetry in its atmosphere, in other words, it’s lopsided. It is tidally locked to the star and on one side, the atmosphere seems to be inflated compared to the other.
Ruko F11 Mini drone review
The Ruko F11 Mini is a budget sub-250g drone that flies well and could be a great option for learning flight controls, but image quality isn’t one of its strong points.
Record-breaking Milky Way map showcases 1.5 billion objects: 'We have changed the view of our galaxy forever'
A 13-year survey conducted by the VISTA telescope has resulted in the creation of the most detailed Milky Way map ever. It contains a stunning 1.5 billion objects.
The journey of Juice – episode 1
Video: 00:20:48
ESA’s Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (Juice), is on an epic eight-year journey to Jupiter. This first episode of ‘The journey of Juice’ tells the story of Juice’s first months in space, from its launch on 14 April 2023 to its lunar-Earth gravity assist (LEGA for short) in August 2024. This flyby was not only the first double gravity assist manoeuvre of its kind, it was also a perfect opportunity to test out the spacecraft’s cameras and science instruments.
Earth from Space: Northern Territory, Australia
Image: This image captured by the Copernicus Sentinel-1 mission reveals the impact of severe flooding following heavy rain that hit Australia’s Northern Territory in March 2024.
How to watch SpaceX's Crew-9 astronaut launch for NASA on Sept. 28
SpaceX plans to launch the Crew-9 astronaut mission for NASA on Saturday (Sept. 28), and you can watch the action live online.
Another Building Block of Life Can Handle Venus’ Sulphuric Acid
Venus is often described as a hellscape. The surface temperature breaches the melting point of lead, and though its atmosphere is dominated by carbon dioxide, it contains enough sulfuric acid to satisfy the comparison with Hades.
This exoplanet circling a dead star may mirror Earth's fate — if our planet survives a dying sun, that is
A newly discovered Earth-size world orbiting a dead white dwarf star gives scientists a hint of what the solar system may look like in billions of years.
'That's weird': James Webb Space Telescope spies a strange galaxy outshining its stars
An oddball galaxy in the early universe shines so brightly it outshines its stars.
Satellite images show Hurricane Helene gaining strength before Florida landfall (video)
Hurricane Helene will make landfall in Florida on Thursday evening (Sept. 26), and satellite footage is capturing it along its path.
Watch Hurricane Helene approach Florida in this NASA video from the ISS
NASA is streaming video views of Hurricane Helene today (as it approaches the U.S. Gulf Coast and you can watch it online.
New type of Kevlar heading to ISS in October for space debris protection tests
Next-generation space debris protection material is being readied for a test trip to the International Space Station, to see how it holds up in the final frontier.
NASA, South Korea plan mission to unexplored region of deep space
NASA and South Korea's space agency have agreed to deeper cooperation in space exploration, science and aeronautics, including collaboration on a pioneering mission.
NASA restarts art program with New York murals aimed at Artemis Generation

Sentinel-2C captures stunning glimpse of the Moon
Image: On 20 September, the Copernicus Sentinel-2C satellite captured its first stunning image of the Moon, achieved by rolling the satellite sideways in a unique manoeuvre. Although Sentinel-2C is primarily designed for Earth observation, this image – intended for calibration and cross-mission comparisons – exceeded expectations.
Turbulence in the Sun’s corona
Video: 00:00:29
Solar wind is a never-ending stream of charged particles coming from the Sun. Rather than a constant breeze, this wind is rather gusty. As solar wind particles travel through space, they interact with the Sun's variable magnetic field, creating chaotic and fluctuating motion known as turbulence.
The W boson caused a particle mystery — but scientists have cracked the case
A puzzling discrepancy in measurements of the mass of the W+ and W– bosons, which are fundamental particles that carry the weak force, has been resolved by the Large Hadron Collider.
