NASA’s Fly Foundational Robots mission is giving scientists a rare chance to test a hard-to-measure form of cosmic light in orbit. According to a NASA announcement, a prototype detector called AstroPix will fly on the agency’s upcoming robotic arm demonstration, which is expected to launch in late 2027. The small payload could help advance future…
A study in Nature Geoscience has identified a giant fan-shaped province of buried basins beneath the East Antarctic Ice Sheet. The structure connects some of the continent’s best-known hidden landscapes and may preserve a deep record of the breakup of Gondwana. The research team named the feature the East Antarctic Fan-Shaped Basin Province. It lies…
