A direct comparison of a computer simulation of a nonrotating red supergiant with ALMA observations of Betelgeuse. If not sufficiently resolved in telescopes, the large-scale convection can result in a dipolar velocity map. The top row shows intensity maps, the bottom row shows maps of the radial velocity. The left-hand …

Star formation history adopted by three different GCE models for GN-z11: single starburst (green short dashed line); dual starburst (red solid); and single burst with pre-enrichment (blue long dashed). The vertical dotted line denotes the observed epoch of GN-z11. Credit: The Astrophysical Journal Letters (2024). DOI: 10.3847/2041-8213/ad1de1 For the first …

The xEMU prototype Moon suit, unveiled by Nasa in 2019. Credit: NASA / Joel Kowsky Humans have long dreamed of setting foot on the moon and other planetary bodies such as Mars. Since the 1960s, space travelers have donned suits designed to protect them from the vacuum of space and …

Bloodstain pattern experiments were conducted in reduced gravity aboard a parabolic aircraft. Credit: Zack Kowalske As more people seek to go where no man has gone before, researchers are exploring how forensic science can be adapted to extraterrestrial environments. A new study by Staffordshire University and the University of Hull …

Meanwhile, private companies are making significant steps in taking paying customers further into space. As humanity’s footprint expands beyond the familiar terrains of Earth …

Europa seen in true colour (left) and false colour (right). Credit: NASA Jupiter’s icy moon Europa has long been thought of as one of the most habitable worlds in the Solar System. Now the Juno mission to Jupiter has directly sampled its atmosphere in detail for the first time. The …

Number of technoemissions ever generated over the history of the Galaxy as a function of the longevity exponent α. Ň is calculated using a uniform in t (a) and a log-uniform in t (b) probability disribution of the time of occurrence of technoemissions. Results are shown for different values of …

Lunar reconnaissance drone system. Credit: Ronasso et al. Exploring the moon has become increasingly more of a focal point lately, especially with a series of landers recently launched with various degrees of success. One of the difficulties those landers and any future human missions face is understanding the terrain they …

The art on this side of the plate, which will seal an opening of the vault on NASA’s Europa Clipper, features waveforms that are visual representations of the sound waves formed by the word “water” in 103 languages. At center is a symbol representing the American Sign Language sign for …

Credit: European Space Agency The upcoming Copernicus Radar Observation System for Europe in L-band (ROSE-L) will provide continuous day-and-night all-weather monitoring of Earth’s land, oceans and ice, and offer frequent observations of Earth’s surface at a high spatial resolution. ROSE-L will carry an active phased array synthetic aperture radar instrument. …
