Scientists Caution That Artificial Cooling of Earth May Disrupt Monsoons and Weather Systems
A new Scientific Reports study warns that dimming the Sun with sulfur aerosols could cause severe side effects, including disrupted monsoons, ozone loss, and acid rain. Researchers stress that despite its cooling potential, such geoengineering carries unpredictable global risks that outweigh short-term benefits.

Reflect Orbital Plans to Light Up Parts of Earth Where Sunlight Does Not Reach by April 2026
Reflect Orbital recently filed an application with the US FCC Space Bureau seeking permission to test launch its Earendil-1 non-geostationary orbit satellite. With this, the startup plans to begin redirecting the light emitted by the Sun with the help of glass-like satellites to dimly lit parts of the Earth. After closing its Series A round earlier...

Astronomers Solve Betelgeuse’s 6-Year Dimming Mystery by Spotting Secret Companion Star
Astronomers have finally spotted Betelgeuse’s hidden companion star, ending a 1,000-year mystery about its six-year dimming cycle. Using Gemini North’s advanced imaging, researchers captured the first image of the elusive companion orbiting deep within Betelgeuse’s atmosphere. The discovery solves a stellar puzzle and offers new insight into ...

First Zoomed-in Picture of a Star Outside Our Galaxy Captured, Revealed to Be a Dying Star
The first detailed image of a star outside the Milky Way reveals WOH G64, a giant nearing its end. Captured by the Very Large Telescope Interferometer, this dying star, 1,500 times the size of the Sun, is surrounded by a cocoon of gas and dust, hinting at its eventual collapse into a supernova.

'Super-Earth' Discovered Orbiting Sun's Nearest Star
Astronomers studied Barnard's Star, a red dwarf just six light years away and noticed the presence of a "frozen, dimly lit world" at least 3.2 times heavier than Earth.

These Are The Planets You'd Want To Live On In The Star System Most Like Ours
If you were going to design a laboratory for answering questions about solar systems, you could hardly do better than TRAPPIST-1. The system, just 39 light-years away, comprises a dim red sun orbited by seven rocky, Earth-size worlds - almost as if someone had designed an experiment in planet formation.
