The European Space Agency’s (ESA) Solar Orbiter spacecraft has delivered the most detailed images of the sun’s surface to date. These images, taken in March 2023 from a distance of approximately 74 million kilometres, were released on November 20. They provide unprecedented insights into the photosphere, the layer of the sun responsible for emitting visible […]
The sun’s upper atmosphere, or corona, in ultraviolet light ESA & NASA/Solar Orbiter/EUI Team These fiery images are the clearest views we have ever had of the sun, taken by the Solar Orbiter spacecraft. Solar Orbiter, a joint mission between the European Space Agency (ESA) and NASA, is the most advanced instrument to orbit the […]
Imagine designing technology that can survive on the Moon for up to a decade, providing a continuous energy supply. NASA selected three companies to develop such systems, aimed at providing a power source at the Moon’s South Pole for Artemis missions. Three companies were awarded contracts in 2022 with plans to test their self-sustaining solar […]
You can charge an electric vehicle (EV) with solar panels if you have a Level 1 or Level 2 charger in your home. It often costs less than filling the tank with gas. However, you have to acquire and install the solar panels on your home’s roof first. How can I charge my EV from […]
While setting blistering lap times and fine-tuning your car to be the ultimate apex-kissing machine has its thrills, the art of drifting is just one big dopamine hit. Sliding an immensely powerful rear-drive car in a cloud of its own tire smoke is one of the most satisfying things you can do in some of […]

The two Proba-3 spacecraft will work together to create an artificial solar eclipse ESA The European Space Agency (ESA) is aiming to create an artificial eclipse in space with its upcoming Proba-3 mission, which will help study the sun and demonstrate extremely precise formation flying, down to just a millimetre. Scheduled to launch on an […]

Using data from the eROSITA All-Sky Survey, astronomers have created a 3D map of the low-density bubble of X-ray-emitting, million-degree hot gas that surrounds the solar system. The investigation has revealed a large-scale temperature gradient within this bubble, called the Local Hot Bubble (LHB), meaning it contains both hot and cold spots. The team suspects that […]
