Shortly after the Kepler space telescope, the United States loses a second scout. The Dawn space probe is without fuel and does not work anymore.

The American spacecraft Voyager 2 is about to leave our solar system. After more than forty years of continuous flying, he has come to the edge, almost 18 billion kilometers from the earth. In a while, the probe enters the endless space between the stars. When that happens exactly, it is unpredictable, because scientists do not know exactly what the universe looks like there.

Around the planet Jupiter twelve new moons were discovered in one fell swoop. This brings the number of moons of the planet to about eighty, the highest number in our solar system.

Our solar system appears to have an immigrant. It is a rock that came from outside our system and stayed here. It is the first time that such a \u0026 aposoid has been found.

The planet Uranus smells like spoiled eggs. The clouds mainly consist of hydrogen sulphide, which has such an odor.

She will not find extraterrestrial life. But Tess, a new space telescope, can bring us a step closer to an answer to the question: is there somewhere else in the universe a planet where life might be possible. The American explorer is launched in the night from Monday to Tuesday (Dutch time). The launch is scheduled for 00.32 hours Dutch time.

Is the elongated, red-colored object of 400 meters long and 40 meters that was spotted in October by astronomers a space probe that was built by extraterrestrials? Or is it an ordinary piece of space rock? A group of scientists hopes to receive an answer to that question.

The container ship that stuck on the Westerschelde on Monday had a problem with the helm. That has revealed an inspection. What caused the problem is further investigated. 'We still need to determine what was wrong, there is a lot of mechanics behind,' says a spokeswoman from the Port of Antwerp, where the ship is on a dock.

Life would sometimes be possible on one of the moons of the planet Saturn. These scientists found a food source for life on the moon Enceladus. And in Europe, a moon of Jupiter, the conditions for life could also be beneficial, researchers at the US space agency NASA said on Thursday.

The planet Jupiter appears to have another great spot. Which is about twice as large as the earth exists and possibly thousands of years. It is a storm that is driven by the aurora on the planet.

Astronomers have discovered a dwarf star seven planets that are about as wide as Earth. Three of them are similar in mass and climate on our planet so that there could be possible water and life.

The Dawn spacecraft NASA has the dwarf planet Ceres carbon compounds discovered are like building blocks for life on Earth. Scientists have published Thursday in the journal Science.

A comet's last weekend cracked in at least two large pieces. Scientists were able to follow them through their telescopes. They continue to follow the comet 73P / Schwassmann-Wachmann time being, to see what happens with it.

How did our solar system originated about 4.5 billion years ago? Since the US space agency NASA is going to do new research. In 2021 and 2023 two probes are launched for.

There appears to be more water in the universe to exist than we thought. Under the ice of Saturn's moon Dione is a deep ocean of liquid water. That researchers at the Royal Observatory of Belgium (ROB) discovered.

On Io, one of the 67 moons of Jupiter, something special happens. If the planet obscures the sun, the temperature plummets on the moon. Its atmosphere freezes in part. Two hours later, the eclipse is over the moon heats up and restore the atmosphere itself. Day and a half later it starts again.

The US probe Juno since his arrival in orbit around the planet Jupiter are the first pictures sent to Earth. That made the US space agency NASA said Tuesday.

For the first planet discovered with three suns in the sky. The exoplanet, photographed with the Very Large Telescope in Chile, is in the constellation Centaurus and is about a massive star at a distance of 80 times that of the Earth to the sun.

The planet Neptune has recently acquired a large dark spot. That was in September for the first time. Last month, he was again observed, and thus have received the confirmation scientists.

A striking ballet around the star Kepler-223. He has four planets rotate synchronously. In the time it takes for the inner planet for eight rounds, the second planet makes six rounds, the third and the four outer three.

A million times a million kilometers. So far appears to be a planet in another system of its star, 7,000 times the distance from the Earth to the sun. A group of scientists that has discovered.

Far beyond Pluto, on the outside of our solar system, is possibly another planet. There has long been talked about, but two US scientists say they have new evidence. They explain it in the latest edition of the leading science magazine The Astronomical Journal, which was released Wednesday.

It was already known that storms raging on planets, but now it turns out that stars can be affected by cyclones. On a small star in another galaxy rages a gigantic storm. That is three times the size of Earth.

Tucked Kicks like a beach ball. That is the story of the planet HD 106906b, discovered last year in another scheme. He is extremely close to its star, 97.2 billion kilometers, or about 650 times the distance from the Earth to the sun. But probably he was born close to its star. It seems that the planet is expelled, but it is not yet clear why.
