Washington, October 25 (ANI): Data from European Space Agency's Cluster mission has revealed that it is easier for the solar wind to penetrate Earth's magnetic environment, the magnetosphere, than had previously been thought.

Washington, October 12 (ANI): A new analysis has revealed that the European Space Agency's Huygens probe, ferried to Saturn's moon Titan by NASA's Cassini spacecraft, bounced, slid and wobbled its way to rest in the 10 seconds after touching down on Titan in January 2005.

Washington, June 1 (ANI): Using data from the European Space Agency's (ESA) XMM-Newton satellite, astronomers have identified a long-sought X-ray "echo" that promises a new way to probe supersized black holes in distant galaxies.
