Construction of World’s Largest Telescope Dome Progresses in Chile
The Extremely Large Telescope (ELT), set to become the world's largest visible- and infrared-light telescope, is taking shape at its construction site atop Cerro Armazones in Chile's Atacama Desert. Managed by the European Southern Observatory (ESO), the ELT is expected to revolutionize astronomical research upon its completion, targeted for 2028. The telescope's dome, which spans an impressive 305 feet in diameter and rises 263 feet in height, has made significant progr

NASA Delays Artemis Lunar Missions Due to Technical Challenges
NASA has announced delays to its Artemis program, which aims to return humans to the Moon. The first crewed lunar mission, Artemis 2, will now take place in April 2026, pushed back from its original launch window in September 2025. The second mission, Artemis 3, which seeks to land astronauts on the Moon for the first time in over 50 years, has been rescheduled from late 2026 to mid-2027. The delays, revealed on December 5, are attributed to technical issues discovered during the Ar

Deploying KM3NeT: Underwater Neutrino Telescope
The KM3NeT (Cubic Kilometre Neutrino Telescope) is an innovative scientific project aimed at detecting high-energy neutrinos in the Mediterranean Sea. This project involves deploying two massive underwater telescopes equipped with photomultiplier tubes to capture light from neutrinos interacting with seawater. One telescope is located off the coast of Sicily to observe cosmic neutrinos, while the other off the French coast focuses on studying atmospheric neutrinos and their o

Countdown to NASA's Europa Clipper Mission: Launch Delayed by Hurricane
The countdown has officially begun for NASA's Europa Clipper mission, now scheduled to launch on Monday after a delay caused by Hurricane Milton, which impacted Florida last week. The storm resulted in damage to parts of NASA's Kennedy Space Center, but preparations have resumed for this ambitious mission. The Europa Clipper spacecraft will embark on an extraordinary journey, traveling 1.8 billion miles (2.9 billion km) to reach Jupiter, with an anticipated arrival in April
