Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS Photographed Beside Distant Galaxy in Rare Cosmic Shot
A new image of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS captures its glowing tails and a distant barred spiral galaxy, creating a dramatic cosmic overlap. Astronomers say the comet’s unusual features remain natural despite online speculation. With its closest Earth approach in December, researchers are preparing for sharper spacecraft images expected to revea...

Scientists Confirm Ancient Asteroid Impact Created North Sea’s Silverpit Crater 43 Million Years Ago
New research confirms the Silverpit Crater in the North Sea was formed by an asteroid impact around 43 million years ago. Using seismic imaging and rare mineral evidence, scientists proved the impact origin beyond doubt, resolving a debate that lasted two decades and placing the crater among Earth’s rare, well-preserved impact structures.

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...

IMAP Space Weather Mission to Lift Off Soon, NASA Confirms Broadcast Plans
NASA will stream the Sept. 23 launch of IMAP with two rideshare satellites from Kennedy Space Centre. IMAP will study the heliosphere, Carruthers will image Earth’s exosphere, and NOAA’s SWFO-L1 will provide early solar storm warnings. Together, the missions advance space weather science while protecting satellites, communications, and power sy...

NASA Images Show New Island Formed by Retreat of Alaska’s Alsek Glacier
A new island has appeared in Alaska’s Alsek Lake, revealed by NASA’s Landsat satellites. Decades of glacier retreat separated the landmass from the mainland, showcasing how fast-moving climate change is reshaping landscapes.

NASA’s Perseverance Rover Spots Megaripples, Proof Mars' Soil Is Still Shifting
NASA’s Perseverance rover has discovered striking megaripples — giant Martian sand waves — at a site called Kerrlaguna in Jezero Crater. These formations, about a meter tall, are larger than Earth’s beach ripples but smaller than the biggest dunes. Scientists say they formed when Mars had a thicker atmosphere and stronger winds, and many no...

NASA-ISRO Earth Observation Satellite Unfolds Giant Radar Antenna in Space
NASA and ISRO’s joint NISAR mission has successfully deployed its 12-meter radar reflector in orbit. This unique satellite, carrying dual L-band and S-band radars, will monitor Earth’s glaciers, volcanoes, earthquakes, and ecosystems with unmatched accuracy. The milestone reflects decades of research and showcases the strength of U.S.-India spa...

10 Strange 'Dark Voids' Appear Over Remote Island Near Antarctica in Rare Satellite View
A rare NASA satellite image shows 10 sharply defined “dark voids” above Heard Island, a volcanic peak in the southern Indian Ocean. Formed by von Kármán vortices bent nearly 90 degrees by fierce westerly winds, the striking gaps pierce thick cloud cover, offering a vivid glimpse of nature’s intricate atmospheric patterns from space.
