NASA’s MAVEN Detects Rare Solar Wind Effect in Mars Atmosphere
NASA’s MAVEN orbiter has detected the Zwan-Wolf effect on Mars for the first time. The discovery suggests solar wind interactions on unmagnetized worlds are more complex than scientists once believed.

Video: NASA Shares "Epic" Visuals Of Bright Object Streaking Through Upper Atmosphere
Reacting to the video, one user said it looks like "Optimus Prime on the way", referring to the main protagonist of the Transformers franchise.

Massive Solar Storm Reveals How Mars Is Losing Its Atmosphere
Researchers using NASA’s MAVEN observed unusual plasma structures during a major Solar Storm, revealing new details about how solar wind strips away the Martian atmosphere and reshapes the planet over time.

Scientists Solve Venus Cloud Puzzle Using Simple Fluid Dynamics
Scientists discovered that a giant atmospheric wave on Venus behaves like a hydraulic jump seen in kitchen sinks. The process may explain the planet’s enormous sulfuric acid cloud front and its unusually fast atmospheric super rotation.

Astronomers Find Thin Atmosphere Around Distant Frozen Space Object
Researchers believe the discovery could provide new insights into how atmospheres form.

Kepler-51 Super-Puff Planets Baffle Scientists as JWST Finds No Atmosphere Clues
The Kepler-51 system hosts three ultra-light “super-puff” planets with massive atmospheres and tiny cores. New JWST observations failed to detect atmospheric signatures, suggesting thick hydrocarbon haze and deepening the mystery of how such worlds form.

NASA's 600Kg Satellite Is Falling Back to Earth, Is There Any Danger?
NASA's 600kg Van Allen Probe A satellite is falling back to Earth, but experts say the risk to the public is extremely small.

NASA’s ESCAPADE Mission to Study Space Weather Between Earth and Mars
NASA’s ESCAPADE mission will send two identical orbiters to Mars to study how solar wind and space weather strip away the planet’s atmosphere. Launching in 2025 and arriving in 2027, the twin spacecraft will measure solar wind conditions and Mars’s atmospheric response simultaneously, helping scientists understand how the Red Planet lost its ...

Scientists Uncover "Rocket Storms" Speeding Up Water Loss on Mars
This finding suggests that Mars has been losing water year-round for billions of years, rather than just during specific seasons.

Study Finds Why Methane Mysteriously Spiked During Covid-19 Pandemic
The findings highlight the complex link between atmospheric chemistry, climate, and human activity.

Rabbit Trap Starring Dev Patel Now Available for Rent in India
Starring Dev Patel and Rosy McEwen, Rabbit Trap (2025) is a psychological folk horror that explores sound, fear, and isolation. Directed by Bryn Chainey, the film is now available on digital platforms and home media, offering a haunting experience for fans of subtle, mood-driven horror.

The Next Space Frontier May Be Just 100 km Above Earth, Not the Moon or Mars
As low Earth orbit becomes crowded, very low Earth orbit satellites are emerging as a promising alternative. Operating closer to Earth, they offer faster communication, sharper imaging, and better weather data. Advances in propulsion are helping overcome atmospheric drag, opening the door to wider use of this challenging but valuable orbital region...

JWST Reveals Powerful Winds and Dense Atmosphere on Scorching Exoplanet TOI-561b
Astronomers using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have found compelling evidence that TOI-561b, an ultra-hot rocky exoplanet orbiting its star every 11 hours, still retains a dense atmosphere. Temperatures measured on both its day and night sides are far lower than expected for a bare rock, implying powerful winds and efficient heat transport. ...

"Climate Alarmism": Trump Government Plans To Dismantle Top Research Centre
The Trump administration intends to dismantle one of the world's leading climate research institutions over what it said on Tuesday were concerns of "climate alarmism," despite opposition to the plan.
