Ground Control to Galileo Second Generationhttps://www.esa.int/Applications/Satellite_navigation/Ground_Control_to_Galileo_Second_GenerationOn 3 July 2026, an invisible signal travelled across Europe. From Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany, to Rome, Italy, the signal connected the Galileo Ground Control Centre to a Galileo Second Generation satellite for the first time, marking a major step forward in the programme’s marathon of compatibility tests.

NASA’s Roman Poised to Transform Hunt for Elusive Neutron Starshttps://www.nasa.gov/missions/roman-space-telescope/nasas-roman-poised-to-transform-hunt-for-elusive-neutron-stars/Astronomers have long known that neutron stars, the crushed cores left behind after massive stars explode, should be scattered throughout the Milky Way galaxy. However, most of them are effectively invisible. A new study published in Astronomy and Astrophysics suggests NASA’s upcoming Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope could spot them anyway. Using detailed simulations of […]

NASA’s STORIE Mission to Tell Tale of Earth’s Ring Currenthttps://science.nasa.gov/science-research/heliophysics/nasas-storie-mission-to-tell-tale-of-earths-ring-current/Earth’s magnetic field is like a powerful trap. It lures electrically charged particles in space, near our planet, and snares them in an invisible, doughnut-shaped pen around Earth known as the ring current. This captive swarm of charged particles plays an important role in how Earth reacts to changing conditions in space, called space weather, which […]

NASA’s Hubble Identifies One of Darkest Known Galaxieshttps://science.nasa.gov/missions/hubble/nasas-hubble-identifies-one-of-darkest-known-galaxies/In the vast tapestry of the universe, most galaxies shine brightly across cosmic time and space. Yet a rare class of galaxies remains nearly invisible — low-surface-brightness galaxies dominated by dark matter and containing only a sparse scattering of faint stars. One such elusive object, dubbed CDG-2, may be among the most heavily dark matter-dominated […]

Dark matter core may drive Milky Way centerhttps://www.spacedaily.com/reports/Dark_matter_core_may_drive_Milky_Way_center_999.htmlLondon, UK (SPX) Feb 08, 2026 Our Milky Way galaxy may not host a supermassive black hole at its center but instead an enormous concentration of dark matter that exerts an equivalent gravitational influence on nearby stars and gas, according to new research published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. The authors argue that this invisible substance, which makes up most of the universe's mass, can account b

Webb sharpens view of dark matter shaping the cosmoshttps://www.spacedaily.com/reports/Webb_sharpens_view_of_dark_matter_shaping_the_cosmos_999.htmlLondon, UK (SPX) Jan 28, 2026 Scientists have produced the most detailed map yet of the dark matter that threads through the Universe, revealing how this invisible component has guided the formation of galaxies, stars and planets over cosmic time. The new map, created with observations from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope and published in Nature Astronomy, traces dark matter in a region of sky in the constellation Se

Webb Data Reveals Dark Matterhttps://science.nasa.gov/photojournal/webb-data-reveals-dark-matter/This image from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, containing nearly 800,000 galaxies, is overlaid with a map of dark matter, represented in blue. Brighter blue areas indicate a higher density of dark matter. Researchers used Webb data to find the dark matter — which is invisible — via its gravitational influence on regular matter. The […]

NASA Reveals New Details About Dark Matter’s Influence on Universehttps://www.nasa.gov/missions/webb/nasa-reveals-new-details-about-dark-matters-influence-on-universe/With the Webb telescope’s unprecedented sensitivity, scientists are learning more about dark matter’s influence on stars, galaxies, and even planets like Earth. Scientists using data from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have made one of the most detailed, high-resolution maps of dark matter ever produced. It shows how the invisible, ghostly material overlaps and intertwines […]

The countdown to clean orbits has begun with ESA’s Zero Debris Charterhttps://spacenews.com/the-countdown-to-clean-orbits-has-begun-with-esas-zero-debris-charter/Space is rapidly becoming the world’s most congested frontier. What was once a domain of scientific exploration is now a crowded commercial arena, a global infrastructure layer critical to communications, navigation, climate monitoring and defense. Yet this dependence is threatened by a growing, largely invisible hazard: orbital debris. The European Space Agency’s Zero Debris Technical […] The post The countdown to clean orbits has begun with ESA’s Zero Debris Charter appeared first on SpaceNews.
