  • Does the universe behave the same way everywhere? Weak gravitational lensing could provide an answer

    A study published in the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics (JCAP) presents a methodology to test the assumption of cosmic homogeneity and isotropy, known as the Cosmological Principle, by leveraging weak gravitational lensing—a light distortion effect described by general relativity—in astronomical images collected by new observatories such as the Euclid Space Telescope. Finding evidence of anomalies in the Cosmological Principle could have profound implications for our current understanding of the universe.

  • Sols 4447–4449: Looking Back at the Marker Band Valley

    Earth planning date: Friday, Feb. 7, 2025 We are continuing our merry way alongside “Texoli” butte, heading toward the boxworks feature in the distance, our next major waypoint.

    Measuring water loss from space This study showed that the International Space Station’s ECOSTRESS instrument estimates of evapotranspiration (transfer of water to the atmosphere from Earth’s surface and plants) are comparable to ground-based reference values. This finding suggests space measurements could provide guidance for improved water management on large scales. Worsening droughts due to climate […]
