German Team Uses Autonomous AI to Steer CubeSat in Space
Researchers at JMU Würzburg have achieved the first autonomous in-orbit satellite orientation using an AI controller on the InnoCube CubeSat. Trained through deep reinforcement learning, the AI repeatedly reoriented the spacecraft, demonstrating a major step toward fully autonomous, lower-cost satellite systems and future AI-managed missions.

MIT Detects Traces of a Lost ‘Proto Earth’ Deep Beneath Our Planet’s Surface
MIT researchers have discovered rare isotopic traces of a “proto Earth” that existed before the giant impact that shaped our modern planet. Found deep in ancient rocks, these potassium isotope signatures reveal remnants of Earth’s earliest material, offering fresh insight into the planet’s formation and the solar system’s earliest history...

Astronomers Discover Most Distant And Powerful Odd Radio Circle In The Universe
A rare discovery in deep space has stunned astronomers: twin radio rings surrounding a galaxy about 7 billion light-years away. Known as an odd radio circle (ORC), this is the most distant and powerful ever found. Citizen scientists first spotted it, and LOFAR confirmed its existence, opening new insights into galactic and black hole evolution.

Astrophotographer Captures Stunning “Raging Baboon Nebula” in Deep Space
A stunning new image by Greg Meyer shows the “Raging Baboon Nebula” in Corona Australis, about 500 light-years away. Captured over 13 nights at Starfront Observatory in Texas, the photo reveals a baboon-like face formed by blue reflection nebulae and dark molecular dust.

NASA’s GRACE Satellites Reveal Hidden Deep-Earth Process Behind Gravity Disturbance
Scientists have discovered a mysterious gravity signal detected by satellites nearly 20 years ago, which is linked to deep mantle changes beneath the Earth’s surface. The anomaly, lasting two years, coincided with a magnetic “jerk”, suggesting a rapid mass shift near the planet’s core.

NASA Prepares 2025 Carruthers Mission to Explore Earth’s Hidden Hydrogen Halo
NASA’s Carruthers Geocorona Observatory, launching in 2025, will capture ultraviolet light from hydrogen atoms to map Earth’s faint geocorona. Operating a million miles sunward, it will study how solar activity drives atmospheric loss, improves satellite protection, and reveals clues to planetary habitability, providing critical insight for fut...

Researchers Create Metal That Resists Cracking in Deep Space Cold
Researchers have engineered a cobalt-nickel-vanadium alloy that stays tough even at –186°C, resisting the brittleness that plagues most metals in extreme cold. Using atomic-scale design, the team created dual structural patterns inside the alloy that block cracks and preserve ductility. In lab tests, the metal absorbed far more strain than conve...

NASA’s Artemis II Astronauts Will Double as Test Subjects for Deep Space Health Research
NASA’s Artemis II mission will send astronauts beyond low Earth orbit as both scientists and volunteer test subjects. The crew will conduct health, radiation, and lunar studies, providing vital data to protect future explorers. Results will guide safety protocols for lunar and Mars missions, advancing human readiness for long-duration deep space ...

InSight Mission Uncovers Chaotic Structure Locked Inside Mars’ Interior
NASA’s InSight mission uncovered Mars’ mantle as chaotic and fractured, resembling a Rocky Road brownie rather than a layered planet. Seismic data revealed ancient fragments, some over 4 km wide, preserved by a rigid crust for more than four billion years. The findings offer fresh insights into Mars’ explosive past and the evolution of rocky ...

NASA’s InSight Reveals Ancient Planetary Remains Preserved Deep Inside Mars
Scientists using NASA’s InSight lander data have uncovered dozens of dense blobs hidden in Mars’ mantle, possibly remnants of failed protoplanets from the early solar system. Preserved for billions of years, these structures reveal Mars’ mantle evolved sluggishly compared with Earth, offering a unique window into planetary formation and the v...

US X-37B Space Plane to Test Quantum Navigation System That Could Replace GPS
The US military’s X-37B space plane will test a quantum inertial sensor for navigation, moving beyond GPS reliance. The technology, based on ultracold atoms, offers precise positioning in deep space, underwater, and GPS-denied zones. If successful, it may transform both defense and future space exploration, marking a critical step in operational ...
