Mercury is a planet that has so far been relatively little studied. Also, the European, ESA, and Japanese space agencies, JAXA, have worked together to meet this challenge and set […]
About one year ago, a spectacular dive into Saturn’s upper atmosphere put an end to the Cassini mission, a unique project that studied the Saturn system for 13 years. During […]
Deep observations made with the MUSE spectrograph on ESO’s Very Large Telescope have uncovered vast cosmic reservoirs of atomic hydrogen surrounding distant galaxies. The exquisite sensitivity of MUSE allowed for […]
Parker Solar Probe will soon become the closest spacecraft to the Sun, just over 6 million kilometres from the surface of our star. This NASA probe will include an instrument […]
Superoscillations, a surprising wave effect recently discovered in physics, could be one of the mechanisms responsible for dissipating waves in the solar corona and thus for coronal heating. Researchers at […]
Under Horizon 2020, the Europlanet 2020 Research Infrastructure includes an entirely new Virtual Access Service, “Planetary Space Weather Services” (PSWS) that extend the concepts of space weather and space situational […]
On June 21-27 the IRAP BepiColombo Team has flown to Europe’s Spaceport in Kourou in order to perform the last checkings of the two Mercury Electron Analyzers (MEA) built by […]
The XMM-Newton Survey Science Centre (SSC) has published the first catalogue of X-ray sources from regions of the sky observed repeatedly. The catalogue comprises almost 72,000 objects, partly of exotic […]
