In a major breakthrough in solar physics, scientists have traced the origin of the Sun’s powerful magnetic activity deep beneath
A century ago, a small rocket rose just 40 feet above a quiet field in Massachusetts. It may have seemed
Astronauts aboard China’s Tiangong space station have successfully harvested fresh tomatoes grown in space. The achievement marks another step forward
University of Edinburgh scientists using satellite-calibrated models project Thwaites Glacier could lose 180–200 gigatonnes of ice yearly by 2067—matching the entire Antarctic ice sheet’s current annual loss. The research in Geophysical Research Letters shows how different model calibrations affect predictions and reveals thinning spreading inland along vulnerable deep troughs. The findings raise urgent concerns about accelerated sea level rise this century.
Chinese researchers from the Beijing Institute of Spacecraft System Engineering have proposed a semi-humanoid robot on wheels to help build the International Lunar Research Base by 2035. The design combines stable wheeled movement with a dexterous upper body that can rotate 180 degrees and perform precise tasks. A six-legged cargo platform is also planned to support construction and equipment transport on the moon.
Redmond-based Starcloud has filed FCC plans for up to 88,000 satellites to serve as orbital AI data centers. The constellation would operate in sun-synchronous orbits between 600 and 850 kilometers, using continuous solar power. The company has already tested an Nvidia H100 processor in space and aims to launch its first commercial spacecraft in 2027.
An international research team working with the European Space Agency (ESA) has developed Europe’s first simulator for Galactic Cosmic Rays.
NASA says its Artemis II moon mission is back on track after engineers successfully repaired a key issue with the
Texas-based space company Firefly Aerospace has successfully returned its Alpha rocket to orbit after a series of major setbacks last
Pro-Russia hacking groups including NoName057(16) and Z-Pentest have joined the cyber conflict surrounding the U.S.-Israel war against Iran, claiming DDoS attacks on Israeli defense contractors and U.S. organizations. Analysts remain divided on whether the activity represents meaningful escalation, with many claims unverified. The development follows reports that Moscow is supplying Tehran with targeting intelligence against American forces.
