The icon indicates free access to the linked research on JSTOR. For millions of years following the Big Bang, after the universe’s roiling soup of particles had cooled, the cosmos was a dark and boring place. There were no stars to make light. No familiar swirls of galaxies. Certainly no planets. And the entire universe was shrouded in neutral hydrogen gas. Then, perhaps 100 million years or so in, everything started to change.

Now, it’s finally happening: A spacecraft bound for the icy world is scheduled to blast off from Kennedy Space Center on a SpaceX rocket sometime before November 6, after delay due to Hurricane Milton. NASA’s Europa Clipper mission will spend five and a half years cruising to the Jovian system and then conduct nearly 50 flybys of the enigmatic moon to investigate its many mysteries.

2 spacecraft caught the waves that might heat and accelerate the solar wind

Aug 29, 2024 | sciencenews.org | Adam Mann

A lucky alignment of two sun-studying spacecraft may have finally solved a decades-old solar mystery. Data from NASA’s Parker Solar Probe and the European Space Agency’s Solar Orbiter suggest that plasma waves known as Alfvén waves inject energy into the solar wind as it leaves the sun’s outer atmosphere, potentially explaining why the solar wind is so much hotter and faster than heliophysicists expect, researchers report August 29 in Science.
