Arctic Report Card Flags Fast Warming, Record Heat and New Risks
The 2025 Arctic Report Card shows the Arctic is warming faster than expected, with record heat, shrinking ice, stronger storms, and rusting rivers. Scientists warn that rising temperatures are reshaping ecosystems, threatening water safety, and increasing risks for Arctic communities. The changes highlight how quickly climate impacts are unfolding,...

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...

Starlink Satellite Breaks Apart in Orbit, Begins Uncontrolled Fall Toward Earth After SpaceX Anomaly
A SpaceX Starlink satellite is tumbling toward Earth after an orbital anomaly caused partial breakup and loss of contact. The company says the spacecraft will safely burn up during reentry, while the incident highlights increasing space safety concerns as satellite numbers continue to grow rapidly.

Chinese Spacecraft Nearly Slammed Into Starlink Satellite, SpaceX Reveals
A Starlink satellite narrowly avoided a collision after a spacecraft launched by a Chinese rocket passed within 200 meters in orbit. SpaceX warned that the incident highlights growing safety risks caused by poor coordination as Earth’s orbital environment becomes increasingly crowded with satellites.

Scientists Find Clock on Mars Runs 477 Microseconds Faster Than Earth
A new study by NIST physicists shows that clocks on Mars run about 477 microseconds faster per day than identical clocks on Earth. The difference comes from Mars’s weaker gravity, orbital eccentricity, and gravitational influences across the solar system. Though tiny, this daily time lead will pose challenges for future Mars navigation and commun...

China and NASA Coordinate to Avoid Satellite Collision for the First Time
China’s CNSA made history by alerting NASA to a possible satellite collision—marking the first instance of Beijing warning Washington in orbit. With Earth’s orbits growing crowded from megaconstellations like Starlink and Guowang, the event signals a new phase of cooperation in global space traffic control and shared responsibility for orbita...

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...

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 ...

NASA Artemis II Orion Spacecraft Prepares for Historic Crewed Moon Mission with Safety Systems Installed
NASA’s Artemis II Orion spacecraft has taken another major step toward launch. After being fueled, it was moved to the Launch Abort System Facility at Kennedy Space Centre, where engineers are integrating a 44-foot-tall escape system to protect astronauts during liftoff. The mission will see four astronauts, including one from Canada, fly around ...
