The night sky can sometimes seem unchanging and 2D. In this blog, Dr Sarah Crick talks about how she uses the distance to stars to connect them to historical moments on Earth. This creates rich stories and deeper connections with the objects in our universe. Be prepared to never look at the sky the same again!
The last decade has seen a rocket revolution. Commercial companies are driving the transformation with competition driving innovation and significantly reducing costs. The future of space exploration and travel looks exciting with continued evolution and development of technologies, allowing humanity to explore and investigate space further than ever before. Dr Heather Campbell
Over 30 years ago the first exoplanet was discovered. Since then, astronomers have confirmed over 6,000 more exoplanets in our galaxy. However, we now predict there are far more planets than stars in our Milky Way Galaxy. We are finding many Earth-like planets, and plenty of them are located in the habitable zone around their stars. Current and future space based missions are allowing astronomers to learn so much more about these extrasolar planets than ever before.
The Roman telescope is an infrared telescope, launched into space on 30th August, on its way to L2. It is the same size as Hubble, but each image will cover the same area of sky as 100 Hubble images with the same clarity Hubble has in optical light. Roman will revolutionize our understanding of exoplanets in our Milky Way galaxy, Dark Matter and Dark Energy.
Finding aliens is a hot topic. In this blog, Dr Sarah Crick explores the places in the Solar System that could support life off Earth.
Enceladus is one of Saturn’s moons. It is a relatively small, icy world which has geyser-like jets that spray water vapor and ice particles out into space. Dr Heather Campbell tells us 10 fascinating facts about this space snow moon!
