Supernovae send astronomical amounts of energy into space. If this energy were to reach Earth, the consequences could be disastrous. According to Spanish researchers, this event could have already occurred in the very distant past.
The Artemis II mission, scheduled for April 2026, will be the first crewed mission to orbit the Moon since 1972, marking a milestone in space exploration and international cooperation.
Thanks to a new camera installed on a solar telescope in Tenerife, scientists have captured images of the Sun with such precise resolution that they can observe details on its surface equivalent to a scale of just 100 kilometres.
The intense UV radiation on Mars poses significant challenges for the survival of life. However, studies have shown that some microorganisms can survive prolonged exposure to UV-C radiation.More information: Could We Drink Water On Mars? A Project Seeks To Extract And Convert The Red Planet's Water Into a Source Of Life
Using gravity and without the need for landing, scientists discover key structural contrasts that challenge previous theories and open up new possibilities for space exploration to understand other bodies in the Solar System.
The End Of The Universe Could Be Closer Than Previously Thought, According To Three Dutch Scientists
New research suggests that everything that exists could vanish much sooner than previously thought. Even the most enduring stars will evaporate, along with planets and human bodies, in a phenomenon previously thought to be exclusive to black holes.
Is this a revolution for space exploration? Researchers have found seismic evidence of the existence of underground liquid water on the Red Planet.
Stellar collapse could be the secret to where many samples of gold, silver and heavy elements in the galaxy come from.
A giant sunspot has appeared on our star and is pointing toward Earth. Astronomers are constantly monitoring it because it could significantly disrupt our planet.
The entry angle of fireballs and space debris affects the accuracy of infrasound analysis. Understanding this geometry is vital to improving planetary defense and orbital management.
The observation of a high-speed gas cloud indicates the presence of a possible dark galaxy in the vicinity of the Milky Way.
