The USSF-106 mission just launched from Cape Canaveral aboard ULA’s Vulcan Centaur VC4S, marking the rocket’s first National Security Space Launch and ending U.S. reliance on foreign engines for critical payloads. Its primary cargo, the Navigation Technology Satellite-3, will

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have detected a tiny new moon around Uranus, the first discovery of its kind in more than 20 years. The moon is estimated to be just a few miles across and was spotted thanks to Webb’s ability to capture faint light in Uranus’

Scientists have confirmed that an unusual kagome-lattice superconductor hosts flat electronic bands that shape its quantum behavior. The material, CsCr₃Sb₅, shows compact standing-wave states that directly affect superconductivity. This breakthrough reveals how lattice geometry

Scientists have analyzed samples from asteroids Bennu and Ryugu using spectral data and compared them with observations of main belt asteroid Polana from the James Webb Space Telescope. The study found strong spectral similarities, suggesting that Bennu and Ryugu likely

The most powerful things in the universe, part 2 (Magnetar flare).

NASA’s Landsat 9 captured a striking true-color image over western Greenland on July 2, 2025, revealing bright blue melt ponds scattered across the white ice sheet. Among them, a cluster of ponds formed a smiley face pattern, a playful reminder of how melting ice shapes the

Hubble observations have uncovered that the white dwarf star WD 0525+526, about 128 light years away, is the product of a stellar collision rather than normal evolution. Though it appears ordinary in visible light, ultraviolet data revealed carbon in its atmosphere, showing that

Scientists have proposed a new kind of fuel-free spacecraft that uses transmissive solar sails patterned with microscopic structures to bend sunlight and generate thrust. This design, developed at the University of Nottingham, could offer more efficient control than reflective

Scientists have proposed a new method to track a mysterious form of dark matter across intergalactic space. By looking at how these particles might subtly influence light from distant galaxies, researchers hope to uncover clues about their properties and distribution. This

Scientists have recreated helium hydride, the universe’s first molecule, in the lab. The results challenge existing models of the early cosmos and provide new insights into how the first stars and galaxies formed.

Scientists have carried out a new analysis on the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, examining how to reliably separate potential alien signals from natural cosmic phenomena. The study emphasizes both the progress of detection methods and the persistent challenges in

A 4.56 billion-year-old meteorite, older than Earth itself, crashed through a home in McDonough, Georgia, on June 26, 2025. Identified as a low-metal ordinary chondrite from the asteroid belt, it likely originated from a larger asteroid that broke apart 470 million years ago.

Astronauts on the International Space Station are testing plant growth in microgravity using clay-filled seed pillows containing wasabi mustard greens, kale, and lettuce. The experiment aims to improve space farming techniques for future long-duration missions.

Astronomers observed a young star 441 light-years away whose jet created an expanding bubble that rebounded and struck its own planet-forming disk, revealing that newborn star systems can be far more chaotic than previously believed.

On August 11, 2025, NASA astronaut Don Pettit aboard the International Space Station captured a long-exposure image that skillfully combines star trails, glowing city lights, and streaks from Starlink satellites—all in a single frame, showcasing the balance between celestial

Fast radio burst FRB 20240304B is one of the most powerful and distant cosmic signals ever detected. It lasted for only a fraction of a millisecond but carried as much energy as the Sun emits in days.

Scientists have found that astronauts often experience stuffy noses in space because microgravity causes fluids in the body to shift upward. Without gravity pulling fluids down, more blood and mucus accumulate in the head and nasal passages, leading to congestion and changes in
