Take a look at the most detailed images of Venus’ surface ever obtained.

NASA’s groundbreaking Magellan spacecraft mapped an incredible 98% of Venus’s surface with unprecedented clarity, peering beneath the planet’s dense cloud cover to reveal the hidden landscape like never before, and revolutionising our understanding of our neighbour planet.

Take a look at the incredible hidden landscape in the latest Astrum Space episode here: https://youtu.be/K-mxLydV2kg?si=ukOltrv4-3wZVt9D

China just achieved something that could make hacking obsolete forever - or destroy all digital privacy as we know it.

Using a tiny satellite and the mysterious principles of quantum physics, Chinese scientists claim to have created truly "unhackable" encryption that even the most advanced computers can't break. But beneath the hype lies a complex reality that could either usher in an era of perfect digital security or spell the end of secrets entirely.

In the latest video, we explore how quantum satellites are reshaping the future of communication and whether this revolutionary technology will protect us or expose us all.

In December 2024, a group of 38 scientists came together to warn the rest of mankind about a seemingly-innocent but deadly threat…

Mirror life.

Born from the fundamental asymmetry that underpins many molecules on Earth, mirror life is a rapidly-developing area of research that scientists say we must put a stop to now – or suffer the consequences.

But what actually is mirror life? Why has this gotten the science community so worried? And what would really happen if we crossed this biological milestone?

For decades, scientists theorised about Earth's ambipolar electric field, but it had never been directly measured... until now.

NASA's Endurance mission has finally detected this elusive phenomenon for the first time, solving a 60-year-old mystery and proving this mysterious third energy field exists.

The field works alongside gravity and magnetism as one of Earth's fundamental forces, launching particles into space and playing a crucial role in keeping Earth habitable - protecting its delicate balance and helping our planet avoid the same unfortunate fate as Venus.

How did Spirit defy death on Mars?

In our latest supercut over on Astrum Space we follow the extraordinary story of NASA’s Spirit rover - a machine that defied all expectations on Mars.

Launched in 2003 with a 90-sol mission plan, Spirit explored the Martian surface for an astonishing 6 years, surviving brutal conditions it was never designed for. Discover how this resilient little rover continuously overcame the impossible to make countless remarkable discoveries on the red planet.

Cars tossed into the streets, infrastructure reduced to rubble, and a death toll of over 200.

Last October, Valencia experienced a catastrophic flooding event unlike anything in Spain's modern history.

In Astrum Earth's most recent video, we delve into the science behind this unprecedented event, understanding the mechanisms behind DANA storms, and exploring the questions that remain.

What caused this devastating flood? What warning signs did the authorities and scientists miss? And how can we prevent similar tragedies from happening again?
