The first female Arab astronaut to go to space has arrived at the International Space Station (ISS). Rayyanah Barnawi is one of two Saudis on Axiom Space's second private mission, which took off on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from the US on Sunday.

The IEA said renewable energy is expanding faster than many people realize, but it warned that investment in fossil fuels is not slowing fast enough to reach goals to slash emissions by 2050.

Back in the 1960s, the Soviets and Americans were racing to the Moon. Europe did not want to be a bystander in the space race and embarked on the Ariane programme in 1973. We take a look back at how the Europeans launched their space programme. Today, the Ariane-6 rocket's inaugural flight is running three years behind schedule. The European Space Agency hopes it can take off by the end of 2023.

Violent extremism and climate change are driving crop growers and stock farmers from their fields in Nigeria. That's a major headache for Bola Tinubu, the new leader of the country where everyone depends on agriculture.

Astronomers have made a discovery that confirms the existence of gravitational waves, which sound like the hum at a large gathering. These ripples in space-time were proposed by Albert Einstein over a century ago.

SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket has launched the European Space Agency’s Euclid telescope from Florida. The extraordinary telecscope is set to unravel the "dark" or unknown mysteries of the universe.

Another first for the James Webb Space Telescope: Carbon is life — and scientists say the telescope just detected a carbon molecule in the Orion Nebula.

Researchers have found an intensely hot exoplanet with metallic clouds that rain titanium. The strange world, rather prosaically known as LTT9779b, is the brightest planet discovered outside the solar system.

The community of Shimankar in Nigeria's Plateau State installed a solar mini grid three years ago. DW looks at how it has transformed the lives of around 2,000 locals.

In the current climate and energy context, the search for sustainable solutions has become a global issue. Recently, American scientists achieved a tech breakthrough: transmitting solar energy collected in orbit and beaming it back to Earth. This development could pave the way for a new era of continuous renewable energy production.
