Space
Scientists are getting closer every day to getting the best view yet of alien worlds, thanks to years of dedicated work by several missions in which the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics at CU Â鶹ӰԺ was involved.
Space is full of really big things, like the sun or the black hole at the center of our galaxy. But the largest structures in the universe are much bigger than both of them, says astrophysicist Jeremy Darling.
Distinguished Professor and JILA fellow Mitch Begelman has been named as a fellow by the American Astronomical Society, a distinction recognizing research, innovation, education and public outreach.
Mitch Wall is studying atmospheric conditions at the threshold of space to improve future hypersonic vehicles and spacecraft.
Dust storms on Mars could one day pose dangers to human astronauts, damaging equipment and burying solar panels. New research gets closer to predicting when extreme weather might erupt on the Red Planet.
From Dec. 9 to 13, tens of thousands of people from more than 100 countries will gather in Washington D.C. for the 2024 meeting of the American Geophysical Union.
CU Â鶹ӰԺ graduate student Dezell Turner has borrowed inspiration from his favorite sci-fi films to design an augmented reality tool that could one day help aerospace companies plan their routes from Earth to the moon.
Deep in the universe lurk a population of mysterious, red galaxies that, until recently, were all but invisible to scientists. Now, astrophysicists at CU Â鶹ӰԺ have drawn on new observations to learn more about these objects.
CU Â鶹ӰԺ alumna Sarah Gillis is a lead space operations engineer and astronaut trainer at SpaceX with literal out-of-this-world experience.
As humans spend longer and longer in space, the mental health of astronauts will become increasingly important, says aerospace engineer Katya Arquilla. Her research could help people in orbit and on the ground.
