- A group of senior NASA leaders visited the ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder campus where they met with ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ President Todd Saliman and other university officials, and toured the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics.
- Astronauts aboard the International Space Station are hard at work on research guided by students and researchers from ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder.
- ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder astrophysicists Kevin Reardon and Sarah Bruce are traveling across the globe to the fringes of Australia to witness a rare event—a total solar eclipse that will last just one minute but could help scientists answer a burning mystery about the sun.
- The Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics—ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥â€™s oldest and highest-budget research institute and the only academic research institute in the world to have sent scientific instruments to all eight planets in the solar system, plus Pluto, the Sun and a host of moons—is celebrating its 75th anniversary.
- Astrophysicists may have detected the first Earth-sized planet outside our solar system with a magnetic field—a potentially key feature for making planets habitable.
- In a new study, ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder astrophysicist Erica Nelson and her colleagues spotted six "fuzzy dots" of light in images from the James Webb Space Telescope. The candidate galaxies may have existed just 500 to 700 million years after the Big Bang and contain almost as many stars as the Milky Way.
- Doug Duncan searched online for something that would allow enthusiasts to safely use their cameras to watch eclipses, but he came up empty-handed. So, he decided he would have to invent something himself.
- The universe's carbon atoms complete a journey that spans eons—forming in the hearts of dying stars, then becoming a part of planets and even living organisms. Now, a team led by ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder scientist Jordy Bouwman has uncovered the chemistry behind one tiny, but critical, step in this process.
- A new NASA report shows that the University of ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder is the top university recipient of NASA astrophysics technology grants.
- ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder has been selected as a member of the United States Space Command Academic Engagement Enterprise, a new national program designed to expand collaboration and academic exchanges between universities and Space Command.
