  • Revolutionising Lunar Exploration: Discover the groundbreaking research from a team of Chinese scientists who are developing innovative technology to produce water, oxygen, and fuel directly from lunar soil. This game-changing approach could significantly reduce the costs of transporting resources from Earth, making sustainable lunar habitats a reality. With the potential to utilise the Moon's own resources, this closed-loop system could transform our future in space.
  • - The Hubble Bubble Theory: Delve into the intriguing new theory suggesting our Milky Way galaxy might be suspended within a vast cosmic void, dubbed the Hubble Bubble. This concept could provide solutions to the ongoing Hubble Tension, offering fresh insights into the universe's expansion and our cosmic neighbourhood.
  • - A Cosmic Dance with Neptune: Learn about the newly discovered trans-neptunian object, 2020 VN40, which exhibits a unique orbital rhythm, completing one orbit for every ten of Neptune's. This fascinating discovery sheds light on the dynamics of distant solar system bodies and hints at the complexities of our solar system's evolution.
  • - Catching the Southern Delta Aquariad Meteor Shower: Prepare for the upcoming Southern Delta Aquariad meteor shower peaking on July 29. We provide tips on how to maximise your viewing experience, including the best times and locations to spot these shooting stars as Earth passes through the debris trail of comet 96P/Machholz.
