NASA’s Antarctic Balloon Campaign Launches to Study Dark Matter and Beyond
NASA’s annual Antarctic Long-Duration Balloon Campaign, launching from the Ross Ice Shelf, will carry groundbreaking experiments like GAPS, aiming to detect anti-matter particles linked to dark matter. Supporting projects include the MARSBOx experiment, which examines fungal resilience in Mars-like conditions, and SPARROW-6 for wind measurement a...

NASA’s Satellite Imagery Shows Antarctic Ice Shelf Crumbling Faster Than Imagined
NASA’s recent study led by researchers from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) has revealed that Antarctica's coastal glaciers are shedding icebergs more rapidly than nature can replenish the crumbling ice. This raises new concern about how fast climate change is weakening Antarctica's floating ice shelves and accelerating the rise of global sea...
