McLean-MacKenzie then turns the data into visual maps and cultural narratives.She stresses the results are subjective and rooted in human experience. Since 2011, she has mapped more than…

Researchers say parts of the Moon will be set aside as graveyards for defunct lunar satellites.The number of Moon missions is expected to rise sharply over the next 20 years.

More than 400 missions are planned, including projects led by NASA and the European Space Agency.International groups, including the UK Space Agency,…
Plans to stage a Serie A match between AC Milan and Como in Perth have been abandoned.The game would have been the first European domestic league fixture played outside its home country.
