PSLV-C62 Failure Marks India’s First Space Launch Setback of 2026
India experienced its first space launch failure of 2026 on January 12 when the PSLV-C62 mission malfunctioned during its third stage. A technical anomaly caused the rocket to deviate from its intended trajectory, preventing it from reaching orbital velocity. As a result, the EOS-N1 Earth observation satellite and 15 smaller companion satellites re...

Astronomers Measure Mass and Distance of a Rogue Planet for the First Time in History
Astronomers have measured the mass and distance of a rogue planet for the first time. Using observations from Earth and the Gaia space telescope, the planet was found to be just under Saturn’s mass and about 10,000 light-years away. The study highlights how free-floating planets are ejected from star systems and improves understanding of planetar...

Astronomers Successfully Weigh a Starless ‘Rogue Planet’ Drifting Through the Milky Way
Astronomers have precisely measured the mass of a rogue planet wandering through the Milky Way using a rare gravitational microlensing event. By combining observations from ground-based telescopes across three continents with data from ESA’s Gaia spacecraft, researchers determined the planet’s distance and found it to be about the mass of Satur...

Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS Shows Rare Wobbling Jets in Sun-Facing Anti-Tail
Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS reveals rare wobbling jets in its sun-facing anti-tail, stretching over 620,000 miles. Observed from July to September 2025, the jets indicate the comet’s icy core rotates once every 15.5 hours. As only the third interstellar object known, 3I/ATLAS provides unique insights into cometary behaviour and formation in dista...
