If you want to live on Mars, you’re going to need to grow food. Seeds are naturally equipped to handle challenging Earth environments, but how well can they survive what they’ll encounter off-planet?
At a time in the sun’s cycle when space weather experts expect less solar activity, our star is going bonkers with solar flares and coronal mass ejections. What effects will Earth feel?
How exactly do the stars twinkle in the night sky? As it turns out, the answer is full of hot air… and cold air.
With the wealth of data being created nowadays, new forms of artistic collaboration with scientists are emerging.
While we on Earth are familiar with our own star, the Sun, the European Space Agency’s PLATO mission will explore solar systems similar to ours as well as those that are more exotic.
Humanity is the real target for these recordings which continue to inspire us to better understand ourselves and our place in the cosmos.

Who is responsible for space debris? What laws should apply to humans living on another planet? Who has rights to mine asteroids? The Outer Space Treaty needs an update to address such questions.
Studying mysterious neutron stars could uncover the secrets of exotic physics – and a way to navigate the stars.
We will one day grow food in conditions as extreme as Mars. Developing the controlled environments required will help not only space explorers but also support our own survival here on Earth.
Spaceports will pave the way for spaceplanes, helping scientists access space for medical research.
