Gaia Completes Its Stellar Odyssey, Leaving a Cosmic Legacy

The Gaia mission, launched by the European Space Agency.

The European Space Agency (ESA) is an intergovernmental organization dedicated to the exploration of space, established in 1975. Composed of 22 member states, ESA conducts a broad range of missions focused on Earth observation, human spaceflight, scientific exploration of the solar system, and the development of related technologies and infrastructure. It collaborates extensively with other space agencies around the world, such as NASA, to undertake significant joint missions, including the International Space Station (ISS) and the Hubble Space Telescope. ESA also plays a crucial role in developing satellite-based technologies and services that benefit Europe and the world, including telecommunications, navigation, and environmental monitoring.

An interview with Jason Wright on Prior Technological Species as well as compilations exploring the idea that we may not be the first here on earth or the first forms of life in our solar system.

Robots In Space: Tianwen-1

Dangerous solar blast detected at Mars by Chinese Orbiter in new episode of Robots In Space!🇨🇳🟠.


Join aerospace engineer Mike DiVerde as he breaks down groundbreaking research on Mars radiation from multiple space missions. This comprehensive analysis combines data from Tianwen-1, MAVEN, ExoMars, and the Curiosity rover to understand the dangerous Solar Energetic Particles affecting Mars. Learn why radiation protection is crucial for future Mars colonization and astronaut safety and discover how space weather impacts potential Mars habitats. DiVerde explains complex space science concepts in an accessible way, drawing from recent research that highlights the challenges of keeping humans safe on Mars. Essential viewing for anyone interested in Mars exploration and the future of human space missions.

The red planet’s hot again, cold again history: Explaining persistent hydrogen in Mars’ atmosphere

The fact that the cold, dry Mars of today had flowing rivers and lakes several billion years ago has puzzled scientists for decades. Now, Harvard researchers think they have a good explanation for a warmer, wetter ancient Mars.

Building on prior theories describing the Mars of yore as a hot again, cold again place, a team led by researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have determined the chemical mechanisms by which ancient Mars was able to sustain enough warmth in its early days to host water, and possibly life.

“It’s been such a puzzle that there was on Mars, because Mars is further from the sun, and also, the sun was fainter early on,” said Danica Adams, NASA Sagan Postdoctoral Fellow and lead author of the new paper in Nature Geoscience.

How scientists are creating real-life invisibility cloaks — Max G. Levy

A spy presses a button on their suit and blinks out of sight. A wizard wraps himself in a cloak and disappears. A star pilot flicks a switch, and their ship vanishes into space. Invisibility is one of the most tantalizing powers in fiction, spanning all kinds of stories. But could this fantasy ever become a reality? Max G. Levy digs into the technologies that could make invisibility possible.
