On October 10th at the Canaries the Magic telescope will be inaugurated: the biggest in the world for the study of gamma radiation
On October 10th the Magic Telescope (Major Atmospheric Gamma Imaging Cherenkov telescope) will be inaugurated. The telescope is located La Palma island, 2200 meters above the sea level at the Observatory Roque de los Muchachos, of the Itituto Astrofisico de Canarias. With his 17-meter-diameter-mirror and 240 square meters surface, it's the largest... view more... (2003-10-06)
New space observations poised to save lives from floods, landslides
Using NASA's advanced Earth-observing satellites, scientists have discovered a new opportunity to build early detection systems that might protect thousands from floods and landslides. view more (2006-05-25)
Researchers say Arctic sea ice still at risk despite cold winter
Using the latest satellite observations, NASA researchers and others report that the Arctic is still on "thin ice" when it comes to the condition of sea ice cover in the region. A colder-than-average winter in some regions of the Arctic this year has yielded an increase in the area of new sea ice, while the older sea ice that lasts for... view more... (2008-03-19)
NASA-conceived map of Antarctica lays ground for new discoveries
A team of researchers from NASA, the U.S. Geological Survey, the National Science Foundation and the British Antarctic Survey unveiled a newly completed map of Antarctica today that is expected to revolutionize research of the continent's frozen landscape. view more (2007-11-28)
NASA finds Greenland snow melting hit record high in high places
A new NASA-supported study reports that 2007 marked an overall rise in the melting trend over the entire Greenland ice sheet and, remarkably, melting in high-altitude areas was greater than ever at 150 percent more than average. In fact, the amount of snow that has melted this year over Greenland could cover the surface size of the U.S. more than... view more... (2007-09-26)
SSTL gets ready to launch two new satellites
Tsinghua-1 & SNAP-1, the two latest satellites built at SSTL, have been shipped from the UK to the launch site at Plesetsk, Northern Russia. They are being readied for launch at midday Wednesday June 28 onboard a COSMOS rocket as secondary payloads alongside the Russian Nadezhda COSPAS-SARSAT satellite. The Tsinghua-1 microsatellite, a... view more... (2000-06-27)
Polar explorers use satellite broadband to stay in touch
A team of young explorers from the Climate Change College are on a ten day field trip, participating in ESA's CryoSat validation experiment on the Greenland Ice Sheet. view more (2006-05-08)
Satellite road management being developed in Lisbon
The European Space Agency is working with Portuguese organisations on how space technology can improve road safety. Each year in Europe, 40 000 people die and 1 700 000 are injured in road accidents. Statistics show that one in three Europeans will become road accident victims during the course of their lifetime. These appalling figures are from... view more... (2003-11-21)
NRL sensor provides critical space weather observations
Launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif., aboard an United Launch Alliance Atlas V launch vehicle, Oct. 18, 2009, the Special Sensor Ultraviolet Limb Imager (SSULI) developed by NRL's Space Science Division and Spacecraft Engineering Department offers a first of its kind technique for remote sensing of the ionosphere and thermosphere from... view more...

Imaging The Invisible: A New Look At Space Weather
How is it possible to image tiny particles that are normally invisible? What happens to our planet and its surroundings when huge solar storms collide with Earth's magnetic shield? These are just some of the questions that will be addressed this week during the UK/Ireland National Astronomy Meeting in Dublin. Our Earth is continually buffeted by a... view more... (2003-03-31)
Warm winter also in the Arctic
Central Europe is not the only place where the past, warm winter has caused record temperatures. Unusually mild temperatures also prevented ice formation in the Arctic, specifically in the region around Spitsbergen. view more (2007-03-30)
ESA backing SATMODE, interactivity via satellite for consumers
The European Space Agency (ESA) has joined forces with a team led by SES Astra (Lux) on a SATMODE development contract totalling EUR 49 million. SATMODE is a satellite return link system providing 'always-on' connectivity between digital TV set top boxes - the interactive version of commercial satellite TV receivers - and content providers. This... view more... (2003-01-31)

University of the Basque Country researchers believe methane storms on Titan
The detailed exploration of Titan with space missions began a couple of years ago and the presence of bright polar clouds and dry riverbeds on this satellite of Saturn has intrigued astronomers ever since. view more (2006-07-31)
Discovery of a satellite around the transneptunian object 1998 WW31
Alain Doressoundiram (Observatoire de Paris) and Christian Veillet (CFH Institute) have just discovered that the transneptunian object 1998 WW31 is in fact a double object. It is during their multi-color photometry and recovery of transneptunian objects program that they made this discovery. This program is carried out on the Canada-France-Hawaii... view more...
