New ALMA Images Reveal Complex Rings Left Behind by Planet Formation
Astronomers used ALMA to capture unprecedented images of young exoplanetary systems. The ARKS survey mapped 24 debris disks, revealing rings, gaps and collisions that trace planetary evolution. These snapshots expose chaotic transitional stages, helping scientists understand how newborn planets mature into stable systems like our own Solar System t...

Space Particle Collision Raises Uncertainty Over Spain’s New Military Satellite
Spain’s military communications satellite, SpainSat NG-2, was struck by a space particle while moving toward geostationary orbit. The incident occurred at an unusually high altitude, and the damage remains unknown. Operators have activated contingency plans as engineers assess whether the €2 billion mission can still be completed.

Failing Starlink Satellite Photographed in Orbit Before Fiery Reentry
A SpaceX Starlink satellite suffered a major in-orbit failure in December 2025, losing communication after venting its fuel tank and beginning an uncontrolled orbital descent. The malfunction caused the satellite’s altitude to drop and produced minor debris, prompting close tracking by SpaceX, NASA and the U.S. Space Force. High-resolution imager...

China to Launch Empty Shenzhou-22 Lifeboat After Shenzhou-20 Damage
After debris punctured a window on the Shenzhou-20 spacecraft, China will launch an uncrewed Shenzhou-22 lifeboat to Tiangong to protect its crew. The capsule will deliver supplies and guarantee a safe return, highlighting growing orbital-debris dangers and echoing similar past incidents such as Russia’s Soyuz MS-22 failure.

Meteorite May Have Hit Moving Car in Australia, Scientists Investigate
A South Australian man’s car windshield was struck and melted by a mysterious object, prompting an investigation by the South Australian Museum. If confirmed as a meteorite, it would be the first known instance of one hitting a moving vehicle. Experts say only lab analyses can determine whether it was a rock or space debris.

Mysterious 1950s Sky Flashes Re-Examined in New Astronomical Study
Thousands of unexplained sky flashes captured in 1950s Palomar Observatory photos are being reanalysed. Scientists suspect they may have resulted from sunlight reflecting off early satellites or atmospheric changes after nuclear tests, which increased flash rates by up to 68%. Still, photographic artifacts remain a possible explanation.
