On Sept. 10, 2025, SpaceX launched 21 satellites from Vandenberg, beginning the SDA’s first Transport Layer constellation for secure U.S. military communications. Built by...
NASA has certified a helicopter-based lander training course in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains to prepare Artemis astronauts for Moon missions. The high-altitude terrain creates lunar-like...
NASA’s Perseverance rover has uncovered iron-rich minerals in Jezero Crater rocks that on Earth often link to microbial activity. The discovery suggests Mars’ lake...
October 2025 will feature a Harvest Supermoon, appearing larger and brighter than usual. Known for its cultural importance and beauty, this full moon offers...
LIGO has detected GW250114, the loudest gravitational-wave signal yet, marking ten years since its first breakthrough. The event confirmed Einstein’s relativity, Hawking’s horizon theorem,...
Italian astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope have discovered a white dwarf orbiting a blue straggler star in the globular cluster 47 Tucanae, located...
Astronomers have spotted GRB 250702B, a gamma-ray burst that erupted several times over two days—something never seen before. Detected by NASA’s Fermi and China’s...
Perseverance rover snaps turtle-shaped rock in Jezero Crater, a geologic oddity shaped by erosion and human pareidolia. The picture was snapped on Sol 1,610,...
A Southwest Research Institute study reveals that chasing interstellar comets like 3I/ATLAS is achievable with current rockets and instruments. Such missions could collect data...
NASA’s InSight mission uncovered Mars’ mantle as chaotic and fractured, resembling a Rocky Road brownie rather than a layered planet. Seismic data revealed ancient...
Astronomers discovered Comet Lemmon (C/2025 A6) in January, and it could soon become visible to skywatchers. Passing closest to Earth on October 20, 2025,...
Astronomer David Kipping has proposed TARS, a sunlight-driven space slingshot. Using reflective panels spun in space, it can fling small probes at escape speed....
Astronomers once thought the universe’s first stars were only massive giants. New simulations and lab experiments reveal turbulence and early chemistry allowed smaller, Sun-like...
The first study to utilise microscopic damage on sauropod dinosaur teeth, a method known as Dental Microwear Texture Analysis (DMTA), has shed light on...
New research challenges the idea that 55 Cancri e, once dubbed a “diamond planet”, is rich in carbon. Re-analysing telescope data, scientists concluded that the host...
Astronomers have discovered that planets can survive without stars, drifting as rogue or hypervelocity worlds. Some are flung into space by black holes, while...
Exoplanets are planets orbiting stars outside our solar system, hidden by stellar glare and detected indirectly. Astronomers identify them by tracking star wobbles or...
Scientists at Brookhaven’s RHIC have calibrated the sPHENIX detector, confirming it can track particle collisions with high precision. Now ready for full operations, sPHENIX...
