In space, many things work differently, but not always. Take the movement of liquid in fine tubes. Gravity has something to do with this capillary action, but what? Students using ESAs ‘Take Your Classroom into Space’ kit can now find out.

On Friday, Esa Alanen and family visited the European Astronaut Centre in Cologne, as guests of ESA, to say thanks for relinquishing the Twitter name www.twitter.com/esa.

For the past 12 years, ESAs Eduspace website has been a window on the world for secondary students and teachers. Now the website has been completely redesigned and updated, so that it provides an even more valuable introduction to Earth observation and its applications.

This animation, made up of eight Envisat radar images, shows the 97-km long B-9B iceberg (right) ramming into the Mertz Glacier Tongue in Eastern Antarctica in early February. The collision caused a chunk of the glaciers tongue to snap off, giving birth to another iceberg nearly as large as B-9B.

For years, ESA has been bringing space technologies down to Earth through its Technology Transfer Programme and Business Incubation initiatives. Now, the Agency will strengthen these initiatives by supporting new businesses using space innovations through a dedicated venture capital fund.

The biggest engineering project ever built by humankind is flying 400
kilometres overhead. The International Space Station has been 12 years in the
making, and it’s almost complete. And its unique collection of laboratories
up there is already giving scientists a new insight into daily life down
here. Strap yourselves in for a trip to the ISS, in this edition of Space.

Mars Express encountered Phobos last night, smoothly skimming past at just 67 km, the closest any manmade object has ever approached Mars enigmatic moon. The data collected could help unlock the origin of not just Phobos but other second generation moons.

ESAs Mars Express will skim the surface of Mars largest moon Phobos this evening. Passing by at an altitude of 67 km, precise radio tracking will allow researchers to peer inside the mysterious moon. Closest approach is at 21:55 CET. Live updates on the Mars Express blog.

Imbedded deep in the pine forests north of Livingston, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory, or LIGO, conducts research beneficial to the fields of astronomy and physics.

Iconic dome at Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station successfully deconstructed; sections may be reassembled at new Navy museumAfter more than three decades of service to researchers and staff stationed at the bottom of the world, the dome at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station was deconstructed this austral summer.The dome provided a platform for countless scientific discoveries in astronomy …

They plan to become doctors, researchers and professors, but these students from Liberty University, an evangelical school, also believe God created the Earth in a week, some 6,000 years ago.

An unresolved question in astronomy is how the Milky Way reached its current state. One theory is that the Milky Way grew, at least in part, by cannibalizing smaller dwarf galaxies that happened to get too close. If this was the case, then it would follow that there should be stars in the Milky Way that are similar in chemical makeup to those in the dwarf galaxies that exist throughout our …

WASHINGTON The U.S. Air Force is gearing up for the first of four planned test flights of a hypersonic aircraft designed to operate for much longer durations and cover far greater distances than previous platforms of its type.

WASHINGTON The chief of NASA’s space shuttle program said Tuesday that the agency could technically continue to fly its three aging orbiters beyond their planned 2010 retirement if ordered to do so by President Barack Obama and lawmakers. All it would take would be the extra funding needed to pay for it.
