Initially designed for a 15-year lifetime, the EUTELSAT 5 West A satellite has retired after an impressive 20+ years of fruitful in-orbit operation. The satellite was successfully re-orbited as planned to more than 400km above the geostationary arc, the propulsion system depressurised and the electrical equipment on board passivated. The final operation to de-activate the remaining Radio Frequen

A startling analysis from Globe at Night - a citizen science program run by NSF's NOIRLab - concludes that stars are disappearing from human sight at an astonishing rate. The study finds that, to human eyes, artificial lighting has dulled the night sky more rapidly than indicated by satellite measurements. The study published in the journal Science showcases the unique contributions that citizen

A new computational system uses satellite data to identify sites on land where people dispose of waste, providing a new tool to monitor waste and revealing sites that may leak plastic into waterways. Caleb Kruse of Earthrise Media in Berkeley, California, Dr. Fabien Laurier from the Minderoo Foundation in Washington DC, and colleagues present this method in the open-access journal PLOS ONE on Ja

At the scale of individual atoms, physics gets weird. Researchers are working to reveal, harness, and control these strange quantum effects using quantum analog simulators - laboratory experiments that involve super-cooling tens to hundreds of atoms and probing them with finely tuned lasers and magnets.
Scientists hope that any new understanding gained from quantum simulators will provide

One of last year's space highlights was the NASA DART mission's collision with Dimorphos (seen right), the small moon of the binary asteroid Didymos (seen left). The impact which measurably shifted the target asteroid's orbit around its primary while casting a plume of debris thousand of kilometres out into space.
Next comes ESA's Hera spacecraft which will return to the binary asteroid to

Prime minister Rishi Sunak
Downing Street has said any decision to investigate Rishi Sunak for not wearing a seatbelt is “a matter for the police”, after a Tory MP suggested it would be a waste of time.
The prime minister removed his seatbelt while filming a social media clip in the back of a moving car on Thursday.
No.10 has apologised on behalf of Sunak but Lancashire Police said it was “looking into” the matter.
Fines of up to £500 can be issued for failing to wear a belt when one is available. Читать дальше...
