Blue Origin’s New Shepard NS-29 Mission to Test Lunar Gravity Simulation
Blue Origin’s New Shepard NS-29 mission, scheduled for Jan. 28, 2025, will simulate lunar gravity during its suborbital flight. The uncrewed mission, launching from West Texas, carries 30 experiments, with 17 contributed by NASA. These experiments aim to advance lunar exploration technologies, including studying moon dust behaviour, fire dynamics...

Invisible Boson Stars Could Hold the Key to Dark Matter's Mysteries
Boson stars, invisible celestial objects theorised to form from axions, are now at the centre of dark matter research. Axions, light and wave-like bosons, may cluster under gravity, forming these mysterious entities. Unlike normal stars, boson stars neither emit light nor interact with regular matter in observable ways. With sizes ranging from smal...

Earth's Hidden 'Ignorosphere' Could Provide Insights into Auroras
A new dataset developed by Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo provides valuable insights into Earth's upper atmosphere, specifically the mesosphere. Spanning 19 years, the data sheds light on phenomena like auroras, gravity waves, and their connection to space weather. The study, published in Progress in Earth and Planetary Science, ...

Underwater Neutrino Telescopes Installed in Mediterranean to Study Cosmic Mysteries
Neutrino telescopes have been deployed in the Mediterranean Sea as part of the KM3NeT project to study high-energy cosmic particles. The project aims to detect neutrinos, elusive subatomic particles emitted from space, by using large underwater detectors. These detectors, consisting of glass spheres with photomultiplier tubes, are suspended in the ...

Dark Matter Could Be Linked to a ‘Dark Big Bang’, New Study Suggests
New research suggests that dark matter may have originated from a "Dark Big Bang," a cosmic event distinct from the standard Big Bang. Proposed by scientists at Colgate University, the theory explores scenarios where dark matter could have been introduced into the universe up to a year after the initial Big Bang. Unlike regular matter, dark matter ...

World's 2nd Fastest Supercomputer Simulates Universe’s Largest Evolution Model
The Frontier supercomputer, the second fastest globally, has completed the most comprehensive universe simulation to date. Led by Argonne National Laboratory, the project used the HACC code to model cosmological hydrodynamics. By incorporating factors beyond gravity, like gas dynamics and star formation, the simulation provides a detailed understan...

Super-Earth In the Solar System Could Have Rendered Our Planet Uninhabitable, Says Study
A recent study explores a hypothetical super-Earth between Mars and Jupiter, revealing its severe impact on Earth's orbit and climate. Conducted by Florida Institute of Technology scientists Emily Simpson and Howard Chen, the simulation demonstrates how such a planet’s gravity could destabilise neighbouring planets, causing erratic orbits and ext...

Mars' Moons Might Have Been Created From Asteroids Coming Too Close to the Red Planet
A study published in Icarus explores the possibility that Mars’ moons, Phobos and Deimos, formed from asteroid debris torn apart by the planet’s gravitational forces. Researchers ran advanced simulations to propose this scenario, which fits the moons’ circular orbits better than previous theories. Japan’s upcoming MMX mission is expected to...

NASA Europa Clipper Advances Toward Jupiter’s Moon, Instruments Successfully Deployed
NASA’s Europa Clipper spacecraft, launched in October 2024, is journeying toward Jupiter’s moon Europa to study its icy surface and hidden ocean. Currently over 13 million miles from Earth, the spacecraft has successfully deployed its solar arrays, magnetometer boom, and radar antennas. It will use a gravity assist from Mars in March 2025 to ad...
