Satellites have been mapping the upper part of the Earth magnetic field by collecting data for three years and found some amazing features about the Earth’s crust. The result is the release of highest resolution map of this field seen from space to date. This ‘lithospheric magnetic field’ is very weak and therefore difficult to detect and map from space. But with the Swarm satellites it has […]

In the 1990s, fitness options in Abu Dhabi were limited to a smattering of dingy bodybuilding gyms and pricey hotel health clubs. “Gyms used to mean a treadmill, a bike machine, some weights and that was it,” recalls Maria Oritz, a self-confessed fitness freak who arrived in the city in 1998. “Classes were practically unheard of.” The following year, when Abu Dhabi Country Club opened the city’s […]
Changes that the Rosetta spacecraft discovered on the surface of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, including the collapse of entire cliffs, were likely driven by seasonal events, according to a new study. The results help shed light on how the comet has been shaped over time. Between December 2014 and June 2016, the Rosetta spacecraft investigated Comet 67P, mapping its surface in detail at high resolution and closely monitoring the […]
