Saturn's icy moon Enceladus is of great interest to scientists due to its subsurface ocean, making it a prime target for those searching for life elsewhere. New research led by Carnegie's Doug Hemingway reveals the physics governing the fissures through which oceanwater erupts from the moon's icy surface, giving its south pole an unusual "tiger stripe" appearance.

There are just three moons in our solar system that measure more than 5,000km across. Of these, Jupiters moons Ganymede and Callisto are airless and have ancient heavily cratered surfaces. But Saturns largest moon, Titan, abounds in landscapes that are eerily Earth-like and it may even harbour life. But we have had a rather limited view of whats lurking beneath the thick atmosphere of this mysterious world. A new study, published in Nature Astronomy, however, unveils the first geomorphologic map to cover the whole of Titan. This is important because it shows how Titans various kinds of terrain relate to each other. Freebie Link

When gigantic stars run out of fuel they collapse under their own gravity and, in a last hurrah, send out a blast of light and matter in the most violent known explosions in the universe. Now astronomers have discovered that these cataclysmic events, known as gamma ray bursts, release roughly twice as much energy as previously thought. The rethink comes after an international team registered a record-breaking observation of the highest-energy radiation ever measured from gamma ray bursts. Freebie Link

On Wednesday, a team of astronomers from University College London announced that they detected water vapor in the atmosphere of a super-Earth planet outside our own solar system. This is the first time water has been detected in the atmosphere of an exoplanet that is not a gas giant, which the researchers say makes it the most habitable exoplanet currently known. The planet, known by the catchy name K2-18b, is 110 light years away and orbits a red dwarf star about half the size of the sun. The planet is twice the size of Earth, eight times as massive, and orbits its host star once every 33 days. Freebie Link

This year, the Taurids may be more active than usual. Bright Taurid fireballs may be more numerous this year, according to some scientists. Known as the Taurid swarm, these bright meteors are created when the Earth runs into a group of pebble-sized fragments from the comet that then burn up in the atmosphere.

The first interstellar comet to be tracked by astronomers as it hurtles through the solar system is unremarkable in every way apart from where it comes from, researchers have said. Scientists reached the conclusion after observing 2I/Borisov with two of the most powerful telescopes on Earth. They decided that it looked like any other comet except that it came from beyond the solar system and would soon leave for good. Freebie Link

Aleph Farms, an Israeli food company, announced today (Oct. 7) that its experiment aboard the International Space Station resulted in the first-ever lab-grown meat in space. The company focuses on growing cultivated beef steaks, or growing an entire piece of real, edible meat out of just a couple of cells, in this case, bovine cell spheroids, in a lab. On the space station, the experiment involved growing a piece of meat by mimicking a cow's natural muscle-tissue regeneration process. Aleph Farms collaborated with the Russian company 3D Bioprinting Solutions and two U.S.-based food companies to test this method in space. Freebie Link

Dark matter was likely the starting ingredient for brewing up the very first galaxies in the universe. Shortly after the Big Bang, particles of dark matter would have clumped together in gravitational "halos," pulling surrounding gas into their cores, which over time cooled and condensed into the first galaxies.

In an effort to understand the large structures that make up our universe, Harikanes team peered deep into space. Because light takes time to travel from distant galaxies, studying those farther away means seeing the galaxies as they were long in the past. Harikanes team combined observations with multiple telescopes to create 3D maps of galaxies in two distant chunks of space. Both chunks mapped were so far from us that their light took billions of years to reach Earth. The result is a glimpse of what the galaxies looked like in the distant past. The farther of the two was roughly 13 billion light-years away, giving us a snapshot from when the universe was only about 800 million years old. Freebie Link

On September 12, NASAs Juno spacecraft performed its twenty-second close flyby of Jupiter, careening down until it was just 8,000 kilometers (4,970 miles) above the gas giants clouds. From that epic vantage point, Juno then snapped a stunning series of photos of the shadow of Jupiters moon Io on the planet. In other words, it captured images of a solar eclipse on a planet besides Earth from space. Freebie Link

The universe is a choreography of many celestial pirouettes. The moon orbits the Earth, which travels around the sun, and our parent star also moves about our galaxy. And beyond the border of the Milky Way lies a fascinating satellite galaxy that's dancing around our galactic home and taking center stage in new imagery. Scientists definitely sense a "star quality" about that galaxy, the Large Magellanic Cloud, mostly because it is making so many new stars. And a current miss...ion of the European Southern Observatory's (ESO) VISTA telescope has been studying this dwarf galaxy's history of star formation and modeling its structure in 3D to better understand how galaxies coalesce. The Large Magellanic Cloud and its sibling, the Small Magellanic Cloud, appear like the thumbprints left on a piece of glass. These dwarf galaxies are some of the Milky Way's closest neighbors, floating in "a long and slow dance around our galaxy," according to NASA.

Indias moon mission, Chandrayaan-2, has arrived in lunar orbit. The spacecraft is engaged in a series of manoeuvres that will place it in its final operating orbit, a circular path looping over the moons poles at an altitude of 100km (62 miles). Chandrayaan-2 entered lunar orbit at about 0500 BST on 20 August. Its initial orbit was highly elliptical, swinging from 114km above the moon to 18,072km. A second rocket burn on 21 August changed this to 118km and 4,412km. Freebie Link
