The case of Pluto, which lost its status as a planet, raises fundamental questions about the definition of a planet and its specific criteria, as Pluto does not meet the condition of clearing its orbit, which led to its reclassification as a dwarf planet. (translated)
The debate over the removal of Pluto from the list of planets, which was initiated by the decision of the International Astronomical Union twenty years ago, continues and still provokes intense disputes among experts about the definition of a planet and Pluto's status within the solar system.

NASA has launched the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope into orbit, which is expected to deliver its first images in 2027 and will enable the exploration of exoplanets, black holes, and the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy. (translated)
NASA has launched the Nancy Grace Roman space telescope, a mission that could revolutionize our understanding of the Universe, with a budget of over four billion dollars and superior capabilities compared to the Hubble telescope. (translated)
NASA's recently launched Roman Space Telescope will map the cosmos and explore key questions about the expansion of the universe and dark matter, with the aim of revolutionizing our understanding of the universe. (translated)
The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, launched for a five-year mission, will attempt to unravel the mystery of dark energy by mapping the cosmos and challenging our current understandings of the Universe, potentially marking the beginning of a new era in astrophysics. (translated)
🚨🌑 UNE ÉCLIPSE LUNAIRE AURA LIEU CETTE NUIT EN FRANCE La Lune prendra une teinte ROUGE-ORANGÉE et sera visible SANS PROTECTION !! Elle débutera à 3h23 et atteindra son maximum à 6h13. https://t.co/5767Li30Eb #ÉclipseLunaire #Lune #Astronomie
Nancy Grace Roman, the first female chief astronomer of NASA and often referred to as the mother of Hubble, overcame sexism and unequal pay in the 1950s to catapult astronomy into a new era and will be honored on Sunday with the launch of the space telescope named after her. (translated)
On the night of Thursday, August 27 to Friday, August 28, astronomy enthusiasts will be able to observe a partial lunar eclipse where about 93.5% of the Moon will be plunged into the Earth's shadow, starting at 03:23 and reaching its maximum at 06:12. (translated)
Astronomers have identified the star S301, the fastest in the Milky Way, orbiting around the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* at a speed of 25,000 kilometers per second, a discovery that could allow for the measurement of this black hole's rotation and test Einstein's theory in the coming years. (translated)
Astronomers have discovered three supermassive black holes in a distant galaxy, just 1.3 billion years after the Big Bang, that are about to collide, which could lead to the formation of a single, even more massive black hole. (translated)
The upcoming solar eclipse of the century in 2027 has already led to fully booked hotels and astronomical overnight prices of up to 20,000 euros, while a previous partial solar eclipse in Europe and a total eclipse in Spain already excited enthusiasts. (translated)
The fastest star in the Milky Way, S301, with a speed of 25,000 kilometers per second, is approaching the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy so closely that scientists could directly measure its rotation in the near future. (translated)
According to the article, a mysterious radio signal has once again emerged from the depths of space, with astronomers believing that its source could be magnetars, and they expect the giant Sardinian radio telescope to return for observations, which could provide further answers to this fascinating mystery. (translated)
Scientists have discovered a new celestial object, referred to as a black hole star, which appears to be a combination of a black hole and a star, emitting energy 100 billion times greater than a conventional star, which could explain the mysterious phenomenon of the small red dots observed in the primordial Universe thanks to the James Webb telescope. (translated)
A recent study confirmed that the Milky Way absorbed a dwarf galaxy, known as Low-energy-Kraken-Heracles, about 12 billion years ago, which represents the oldest documented galactic merger of our galaxy and contributes to understanding its growth and formation. (translated)
French astronaut Sophie Adenot completed her first spacewalk from the International Space Station (ISS), thus becoming the first French woman to achieve this feat in space, in collaboration with American Anil Menon. (translated)
