Titan, a “Persian Gulf” in the cosmos: The Strait of Hormuz crisis draws our attention to Saturn

The closure of the Strait of Hormuz and the crippling of Gulf gas fields have laid bare just how fragile the planet's dependence on strategic chokepoints truly is. Now, researchers are daring to look further — much further — for answers, turning their gaze to Titan, Saturn's hydrocarbon-drenched moon. It may be an ambitious dream, but it is one that rewrites the very concept of energy transition.

Total solar eclipse on August 12: a rare feast for the eyes across Europe

On August 12, 2026, the skies over Europe will host an exceptional astronomical spectacle: a total solar eclipse, the first visible in Europe for over twenty-five years. This phenomenon has not been seen since the eclipse of August 11, 1999, while the next total solar eclipse visible at our latitudes will not occur until 2081. For many observers, this could be the astronomical event of a lifetime, especially as the Sun will be very low on the horizon, creating a unique twilight atmosphere.

Can solar storms trigger earthquakes?

Our planet vibrates, breathes and constantly readjusts itself beneath our feet. And if we're used to thinking of earthquakes as phenomena generated exclusively in the depths of the Earth's crust, a new scientific hypothesis invites us to look much higher up, towards the Sun.
