![]() | An all-sky image from Planck's recently completed first survey highlights the two major emission sources in the microwave sky: the cosmic background and the Milky Way. |
![]() | The OMEGA and CRISM instruments on board ESA’s Mars Express and NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter are pursuing their ongoing efforts to decipher the early Martian environment. Hydrated minerals indicating rock alteration by liquid water have been identified in craters which penetrated the northern plains of Mars, which is proof of the widespread presence of liquid water on the surface of Mars some 4 billion years ago. |
![]() | New images from ESA’s Planck mission, in which IAS played a central role, reveal details of the structure of the coldest regions in our Galaxy. Filamentary clouds predominate, connecting the largest to the smallest scales in the Milky Way. These images are a scientific by-product of a mission which will ultimately provide the sharpest picture ever of the early Universe. |
