Sir Isaac Newton’s first law of motion states that an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed unless acted upon by an outside force. And in space, the only thing to slow down a spacecraft is gravity.
Before a spacecraft is even launched, scientists work out precisely where planets and other bodies will be to determine how the gravity of these objects will affect the trajectory of the craft.
Noemí Pinilla-Alonso: The Spanish astronomer set to explore the largest and most mysterious

Hailing from Oviedo in the northern region of Asturias, Noemí Pinilla-Alonso says that as a child, contemplating the stars was hard to do as it was almost always cloudy. However, every summer her family went to Toro, in Zamora, where her parents, a salesman and a teacher, grew up.
That little girl is now 50 and, as an astronomer at the Space Institute of Central Florida University, she is leading one of the most ambitious investigations into the outer reaches of our Solar System to date; using the James Webb space telescope she and her team will explore what lies beyond
Hear Jupiter's moon Ganymede, the largest in the solar system, sing in new squeaky Juno video |
The magnetosphere of Jupiter's moon Ganymede sounds like a dial-up modem in a newly released audio clip from NASA.
This month the team behind the space agency's Juno mission published new data from the spacecraft, which has been pirouetting around Jupiter and its many moons since July 2016.
Astronomers Detect First Signature of Magnetic Field on a Planet Outside of Our Solar System

Researchers have identified the first signature of a magnetic field surrounding a planet outside of our solar system. Earth’s magnetic field acts as a shield against energetic particles from the sun known as the solar wind. Magnetic fields could play similar roles on other planets.

California ready to pull the plug on rooftop solar system subsidies
The one with no solar panels and the escalating electric bill? It's subsidizing the one with solar panels and the low electric bill, California officials say — and they hope to change that next month.
Pandey's monthly charge for grid connection and overhead also would soar, to an average $57 from about $10.
27,000 Panels: Australia's Largest Rooftop Solar PV System Nears Completion
Australia's largest rooftop solar PV system is near the final stages of commissioning, set to be operational by the end of the Christmas break.
The project which commenced two years ago, is three times larger than the 3 MW system on the rooftop of Moorebank Logistics Park in Sydney and has been approached in two stages. The first stage involved 6,000 solar modules and 28 50,000 TL inverters.
Scientists discovered a massive new world and they have no idea how it formed
The European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope—yes, that’s actually the name— has discovered a brand-new world. The planet in question is located 325 light-years away from Earth, in the Centaurus constellation.
