New report: Measures that support both the climate and biodiversity

Climate change and biodiversity losses have long been addressed in parallel organisations. Now the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) and the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) are launching the first global report that integrates the two issues. This is a welcome and much needed move, according to three researchers at the Univ

Culture Night 2024

With over 1300 visitors at the telescopes and in the planetarium, it is safe to say that Culture Night 2024 was a great success. Arranging astronomy events on Culture Night is always a bit difficult since we do not know in advance if the skies are going to be clear.  We had luck with us this year.  The weather was nice and sunny during the day and once the Sun set we could bring out the telescopes

Researchers discover a space oddity – an exoplanet moving in mysterious ways

A research team led by Lund University in Sweden has discovered a small planet that displays peculiar orbital motion. The shimmying planet, located 455 light-years from Earth, shows that planetary systems can be considerably more complex than researchers have previously thought. The newly discovered planet TOI-1408c has a mass equivalent to eight Earths and circles very close to a larger planet, t
