The astronomical community has thrived and world-class astronomical facilities have been established in South Africa.
A distant lump of space rock may have a surprising amount in common with the core of our own planet.
Côte d’Ivoire’s nanosatellite is the first step towards applications that monitor environmental harm and illegal activities and assist in planning for development.
It’s time to get more Ghanaians interested in this fascinating, important aspect of science.
When the Orion Crew Capsule orbits the Moon there will be no one on board. But the mission will mark a key step in bringing humans back to Earth’s dusty sidekick.
A freefalling ‘parabolic flight’ launched from Essendon airport is a leap for home-grown space science in Australia.
Shrinking satellites are making it cheaper and more accessible to do science in space.
Nigeria-South Africa bi-national commission is a laudable initiative but missing the space cooperation element.
The students produced 33 experiment vials, which were boarded on the SpaceX Crew Dragon 24 and launched in December.
The nanosatellite constellation will detect, monitor and identify foreign vessels within the country’s maritime borders.
The Binar-1 mission is the first in a series that will hopefully culminate in a mission to the Moon, with satellites developed using know-how gained from designing tough instruments for the WA outback.
Australia’s space industry is booming despite the impact of coronavirus.
Like a cosmic butterfly in the sky, radio galaxy PKS 2014-55 was observed by CSIRO researchers with the Australian SKA Pathfinder telescope.
All the buildings and the cars and the restaurants, and the phones and even everything that’s inside of you… it all started with an exploding star, billions of years ago.
The screening will include a Q&A hosted by Conversation science editor, Miriam Frankel, with leading UK space scientist Monica Grady, space plasma scientist Martin Archer, and psychologist Jennifer Wild.
It has been an epic journey, much more than 12 years in the making, but Rosetta is just about to go out in a blaze of glory. The final commands were uploaded to the spacecraft mid-morning on September…
Exciting as it is (and it is incredibly exciting), the Rosetta mission is the latest in a history of comet exploration that has added to our knowledge of these icy dirtballs. Comets are usually just a…
Rosetta is a first-class mission, because it is a mission of firsts. First to fly-by asteroid Steins, a rare metal-poor asteroid. First to travel past asteroid Lutetia, which might be related to a class…
