    Right now: The Nobel Prize in Physics is announced

    This year’s winner of this year’s Nobel Prize in Physics is now presented. The Icecube telescope, which makes it possible to study neutrinos, has been mentioned as a possible winner. Ekot broadcasts directly.

  • The brightest planets in close conjunction

    The brightest planets in close conjunction

    The two brightest planets, Venus and Jupiter, will be visible in the sky tonight. The planets will be very close to each other and as soon as the weather conditions allow it, you will be able to observe them even at low magnification, using a telescope or telescope. According to an article on the astronomy…

    RIGHT NOW: The black hole in the middle of the Milky Way was photographed for the first time

    A new groundbreaking novelty is expected to be presented today on the black hole in the center of the Milky Way. You must have used the so-called “Event Horizon” telescope to capture the image and can prove very old theories through it. Hear Ekot’s experts comment on the incident in the player above.

  • NASA-ESA’s solar orbit captures the largest “solar outburst” ever seen

    NASA-ESA’s solar orbit captures the largest “solar outburst” ever seen

    This latest event took place on February 15 and spanned millions of miles into space. The eruption probably originated on the side of the sun away from the earth. For this reason, the mass eruption of the corona was directed away from Earth. “The visibility detected by Solar Orbiter is the largest event of its…

  • The telescope tightens its sun visor – if it goes wrong, everything goes wrong

    The telescope tightens its sun visor – if it goes wrong, everything goes wrong

    There are many small steps that should work when the telescope, after its narrow journey in an Ariane rocket, unfolds its various parts to reach its final shape in a few weeks. Then it should also have reached its place in space, 1.5 million kilometers into the solar system. How’s the telescope doing right now?…

  • Launch of the world’s largest space telescope – the countdown is underway

    Launch of the world’s largest space telescope – the countdown is underway

    After years of delays, the Hubble Space Telescope’s successor will now be sent into space. Researchers have been working with the new so-called James Webb telescope for decades and some components have been partly developed by researchers here in Sweden. The hope is that the new space telescope will increase knowledge about the universe’s first…

    Science for 100 billion on its way to space

    The James Webb Telescope is supposed to give us a whole new picture of the universe, it is thought, and perhaps find traces of life on distant planets. But the launch and the journey through space are technical challenges on a whole new level. Hundreds of elements must work flawlessly for it to succeed, so…

    View: "Unique" partial eclipse observed over Finland

    A partial solar eclipse, which occurs when the moon passes almost directly between the sun and the earth, was observed on Thursday afternoon in various parts of Finland. About 30 enthusiastic skygazers gathered at the Arktikum Museum and Science Center in Rovaniemi to watch the phenomenon, including a board member of the Astronomical Society Corona…

    2021 will be a year with many new space adventures

    New lunar missions, more exploration of Mars and a new long-awaited telescope are some of the planned space events this year. 2021 seems to be a year with many new space adventures. Among other things, two space probes are planned to land on Mars, the company Space X will make new test flights of its…

  • Researchers: Gas at Venus can be a sign of life

    Researchers: Gas at Venus can be a sign of life

    Scientists have found evidence that a gas, which enables life, is found on the planet Venus. Using two different telescopes, scientists have found signs that the gas phosphine is in Venus’ atmosphere. It could mean that there is life there. But much is still uncertain. Listen to Ekot’s live broadcast in the player above.
