Firefly Aerospace will host Volta Space Technologies’ wireless power receiver on its Blue Ghost Mission 2 to the Moon’s far side. This key test for Volta’s LightGrid system aims to prove the viability of a laser-based power network, a critical utility for future permanent lunar operations.
A team led by Dr. Josep M. Trigo-Rodríguez at Spain’s Institute of Space Sciences (ICE-CSIC) has published a landmark study in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, using meteorite analysis to assess the real-world feasibility of asteroid mining, shifting the focus from precious metals to vital resources like water.
Cambridge University historian Dr. Krisztina Ilko has uncovered the Augustinian order’s forgotten history of “green-fingered” miracles—from dragon-slaying that restored fertility to multiplying cabbages. Her research, published by Oxford University Press, re-frames the medieval Church’s deep ties to the rural landscape and eco-conscious spirituality.
An international team led by University of Turku researchers has determined the doomed binary star system V Sagittae is spiraling toward a collision. Their merger will produce a type Ia supernova so bright it could be visible to the naked eye during the day, possibly within the next 100 years.
