Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research in Göttingen have made new discoveries using computer simulations. The study shows that modeling the early Solar System can help pinpoint the origins of meteorites with greater accuracy.
The asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter preserves valuable remnants from the origin of the Solar System. New missions and scientific studies are revealing why this "failed planet" is essential to understanding how the terrestrial planets formed.
An international team of scientists has proposed using beneficial fungi to transform the toxic soils of Mars and the Moon into land capable of producing food for future space settlements.
Researchers investigated how interactions between galaxies shaped the structure of the galactic disc over billions of years.
NASA's Psyche mission hit a major milestone after its planned Mars flyby, using the planet’s gravity to change course toward the asteroid belt.
Although its launch into space had previously been scheduled for next year, the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope could lift off as early as next September from Florida!
Thanks to the Voyager missions, we now understand how the solar wind slows down, changes, and ultimately gives way to the interstellar medium, marking the boundary of the Sun’s domain.
NASA has delegated the next Moon landing to private companies. SpaceX and Blue Origin are accelerating the development of their spacecraft to secure the future of the Artemis program. Diego Córdova explains the details behind the new “battle for the Moon.”
Trojan asteroids are emerging as new frontiers in space mining: rich in water and precious materials, they combine orbital stability with strategic value, opening real possibilities for a future sustainable extraterrestrial economy.
Germany is transforming a former mining region into the future home of the Görlitz Center for Astrophysics. The new gravitational wave observatory marks a scientific milestone and is generating major excitement across the region.
NASA successfully tested rotors capable of exceeding Mach 1 under simulated Martian conditions, a major breakthrough toward developing larger aircraft that could expand aerial exploration on Mars.
The origin of Saturn's rings remains a subject of controversy in the scientific community. However, some researchers have put forward a theory that seems to explain why and how they formed.
