Magazine

Every issue All About Space delivers fascinating articles and features on all aspects of space and space travel with mind-blowing photography and full-colour illustrations that bring the amazing universe around us to life.

WELCOME

Mars Express takes a deep dive into an ancient lake

Hubble spots a stunning spiral galaxy shining in the ‘Little Lion’

Ghostly ‘zodiacal light’ glows above the Very Large Telescope in Chile

Jupiter’s surreal clouds swirl in a new view from NASA’s Juno probe

NASA may use lasers to livestream from the Moon one day

Drugs can partially prevent muscle loss caused by microgravity

A newly found star 30 times the size of the Sun has an unexpected chemical composition

SpaceX refutes reports that its Starship launchpad system polluted Texas waters

An ocean’s worth of water may be buried within Mars, but can we get to it?

Weird ‘watermelon-shaped’ asteroids like Dimorphos and Selam may finally have an explanation

WIN A CELESTRON NEXSTAR 4SE WORTH OVER £599 • This fantastic computerised telescope is up for grabs this month

DARK ENERGY • THE MOST DOMINANT FORCE IN THE UNIVERSE IS ALSO ITS MOST MYSTERIOUS AND MOST UNANTICIPATED

THE DIFFERENT KINDS OF DARK ENERGY

WHERE DID DARK ENERGY COME FROM?

THE END OF THE UNIVERSE • How the universe could end depends on who wins in a cosmic tug of war

HOW DARK ENERGY BEHAVES

SPACE DELIVERY SERVICE • A same-day delivery system for sending kit from the International Space Station back to Earth

BOEING NEEDS TO IMPROVE QUALITY CONTROL ON THE SLS MOON ROCKET • The NASA Inspector General’s report finds serious quality-control issues affecting the upgraded version and expects cost overruns and delays

THE SPACE LAUNCH SYSTEM • Boosters are just one component of NASA’s megarocket

“This is how we get to Mach 3” • Jameel Janjua made it to the bitter end in a Canadian government astronaut selection in 2009, but wasn’t chosen. He found a different path to space through Virgin Galactic

A NASA TELESCOPE MAY HAVE FOUND ANTIMATTER ANNIHILATING IN POSSIBLY THE BIGGEST EXPLOSION SINCE THE BIG BANG • The massive explosion was captured in 2022

BURSTS FROM DYING STARS

SPECIAL SUBSCRIPTION OFFER

NASA’S PERSEVERANCE ROVER FINDS POSSIBLE SIGNS OF ANCIENT RED PLANET LIFE • Further analysis is needed, but a rock contains potential evidence that life once existed on Mars in the distant past

INTERSTELLAR TRAVEL AND HOW TO BECOME A SPACE TOURIST • Having explored much of the Solar System, attention is now turning to the stars beyond

TRAVELLING NEAR THE SPEED OF LIGHT • How long does it take light to travel through the universe?

THE SPACESUIT • A key part of any space traveller’s equipment

THE SPACECRAFT • Scientists and science-fiction writers alike have long dreamed up ways of travelling between the stars

INTERSTELLAR ROAD MAP • Given how difficult it is to travel far from Earth, where might our interstellar travels take us?

THE LOCATIONS

SPACE IS BECOMING AN UNSUSTAINABLE ENVIRONMENT IN THE LONG TERM • Overall, the ESA’s latest report is full of bad news for Earth orbit

SATELLITES VERSUS DEBRIS • What’s littering the space environment?

WHEN BLACK HOLES TURN WHITE • Can bouncing black holes help physicists find the ultimate theory of everything?

MEET THE WHITE HOLE • What do we know about these mysterious objects?

QUANTUM LOOP GRAVITY • One way physicists are trying to get gravity and quantum physics to play nicely together

OUR HUNT FOR THE WHITE HOLE • How might an 'inverse black hole' show itself to our telescopes?
