  1. ESA’s BepiColombo mission nears a major turning point on its Mercury approach.

    The European Space Agency’s (ESA) BepiColombo mission to the planet Mercury faces its most critical manoeuvre yet, as a pair of probes drop off the mothership on their way to one of the solar system’s most extreme places.

    A few hours ago, the Chinese Zhuque-3 Y2 rocket blasted off from the Dongfeng commercial area, carrying the Honghu-03 satellite. The second stage successfully reached orbit with payload separation, achieving a successful primary mission on this rocket's second flight, the first to deploy a real satellite into orbit. A goal for LandSpace, the company that developed the rocket, was to land the first stage, which was successful.

  3. Astronomers Discover a Brand-New Type of Object: Part Black Hole, Part Star

    Credit: Jose-Luis Olivares/MIT At the cosmic dawn, the universe was sprinkled with giant black holes—monstrosities so huge that scientists are still struggling to explain how they could have even existed. The answer may lie in a never-before-seen object from this cosmic era. In a paper published today in Nature, astronomers report the discovery of an extremely unusual, bright spot of red from the early universe. Externally, it looks like an enormous star about the size of the entire solar […]

  4. Black Holes are Mysterious, Yet Also Deceptively Simple

    NASA/JPL Physicists consider black holes one of the most mysterious objects that exist. Ironically, they’re also considered one of the simplest. For years, physicists like me have been looking to prove that black holes are more complex than they seem. And a newly approved European space mission called LISA will help us with this hunt. Research from the 1970s suggests that you can comprehensively describe a black hole using only three physical attributes – their mass, charge and […]
