Has the Sun risen early on its next solar cycle?Screenshot2024-07-1914_46_40.thumb.png.a368aab1b86bda881c81e07d9a3699c4.png

The Sun might be beginning to enter its next 11-year solar cycle halfway through its current one according to new research.

Solar cycles are a measure of the activity of our solar system’s central star. The peak about halfway through a cycle is known as the solar maximum. We are currently in the solar maximum of Cycle 25 – the 25th since records of solar cycles began in 1755.

Search widens for alien life in galaxies far, far away

Using a telescope in Western Australia, astronomers in the SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) program are expanding the hunt for aliens to exciting new frontiers.

SETI has teamed up with the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR) to use the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) in the Australian outback to look for clues of alien intelligence in other galaxies.

NASA’s beleaguered Europa Clipper spacecraft passed its final technical review today, and is now ready for launch toward Jupiter as soon as its launch window opens next month.

“We are ready for Jupiter,” Jordan Evans, the mission’s project manager at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California, said today in a teleconference.

“Now that we’ve completed this key NASA review, we’re focused on heading towards the launch pad, doing the final preparations,” he added.

X-ray pulses could stop huge asteroids from hitting Earth

Powerful X-rays could be a viable way to divert asteroids on collision courses for Earth, according to a new study.

The study, published in Nature Physics, uses lab-based experiments to suggest that X-rays might be useful for deflecting asteroids up to 4km in diameter.

Astronauts reveal what life is like on ISS – and how they deal with 'space smell'

IMG-20240928-WA0007.thumb.jpg.d11553646c8f89a6276bf26f67d9795c.jpg

In June two American astronauts left Earth expecting to spend eight days on the International Space Station (ISS).

But after fears that their Boeing Starliner spacecraft was unsafe to fly back on, Nasa delayed Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore’s return until 2025.

They are now sharing a space about the size of a six-bedroom house with nine other people.

Supermoon lights up the sky around the world

download.thumb.png.3a7ac37d9b3bee23636cfc785acd258f.png

The first of four full supermoons this year has lit up the night skies around the world.

In some places, the supermoon - also a blue moon - turned red due to smoke from wildfires in North America. Smoke particles mean that light passing through the atmosphere is scattered in such a way that the orange and red colours of the spectrum are more visible than usual.

Blue moons are not that common - it's thought this is where the phrase "once in a blue moon" comes from.

The full moons of September, October - the closest moon this year - and November will also be supermoons.
