Astro Brief: BepiColombo (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The joint mission BepiColombo — coordinated between the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) — is scheduled to arrive at Mercury this November, probing the planet's surface and core. Launched in October 2018, BepiColombo is the third mission sent to Mercury since NASA's Mariner 10 (1973-1975) and MESSENGER (2004-2015). ESA's Mercury Transfer Module (MTM) carries two separate orbiters — ESA's own Mercury Planetary Orbiter (MPO) and JAXA's Mercury Magnetosp
Astro Brief: Understanding Our Universe (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Astronomers interested in the universe at scale study cosmology — the evolution of our universe, past, present, and future. Greater than the vast amount of visible matter in our universe is dark matter, and by a large ratio. Dark matter can be studied within our galaxy by observing its influence on stars or at a universal scale using gravitational lensing. The European Euclid Space Telescope contributes to the study of cosmology by measuring billions of galaxies using the Flagship 2 model and as
Astro Brief: Winds on Exoplanets (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Planets with atmospheres have their own weather patterns, much like Earth, but in a variety of patterns. JWST gives astromoners the ability to look beyond our solar system to get precise measurements on exoplanets, such as WASP-121b — an ultra-hot Jupiter orbiting close to it's star. Dr. Robert Frazier and collaborators at the University of Michigan studied the planet's atmospheric changes as it orbited, making some surprising discoveries.

Astro Brief: The Galactic Limit (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Galaxies are primarily made up of stars, gas, and dark matter in a variety of types and mixes in composition. Over time, galaxies can merge with or absorb other galaxies, growing and evolving. In a study by Carlos Marrero de la Rosa and collaborators at the Institute of Astrophysics of the Canary Islands (Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias or IAC), the galaxy IC 1101 was observed as the largest galaxy to date.
