China Launches AI-Powered Satellite Constellation to Build Space Supercomputer
On May 14, China launched the first 12 satellites of its Three-Body Computing Constellation, an ambitious project led by ADA Space and Zhejiang Lab. Set to include 2,800 satellites with a combined capacity of 1,000 peta operations per second, this space-based AI network uses natural cooling in orbit and high-speed laser communications. Designed to ...

SpaceX Successfully Launches 23 Starlink Satellites on Brand-New Falcon 9 Rocket
On May 20, 2025, SpaceX successfully launched its 60th Falcon 9 mission of the year from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station using a brand-new booster, B1095. The rocket lifted off at 11:19 p.m. EDT from Launch Complex 40, carrying 23 Starlink V2 Mini satellites into low Earth orbit. Notably, 13 of these satellites are equipped with Direct to Cell t...

Polaris Wasn’t Always the North Star: How Earth’s Wobble Shifts the Celestial Pole
Earth’s 26,000-year axial precession gradually shifts the celestial pole, replacing Polaris with new North Stars over millennia. Stars like Thuban, Kochab, Errai, and Vega have taken turns guiding humanity, and more will follow. According to NASA, gravitational forces cause this cosmic wobble, reminding us that even the seemingly constant night s...

Scientists Warn of Inadequate Solar Storm Forecasting: What You Need to Know
Scientists warn that Earth remains exposed to solar storms due to missing early data on its magnetic fields. Current satellites offer just minutes of warning, limiting our ability to protect power grids, satellites, and GPS systems. Without broader solar observation from multiple angles, a major storm could cause catastrophic disruptions, emphasisi...

Ancient 14,000-Year-Old Solar Storm Revealed as Strongest Ever Recorded in Earth’s History
A massive solar storm struck Earth 14,300 years ago, now confirmed as the most powerful ever recorded. Finnish scientists detected it through carbon-14 spikes in Ice Age tree rings. Over 500 times stronger than the 2003 Halloween Storm, this ancient event redefines solar risk and highlights the growing need to safeguard modern infrastructure agains...

ISRO’s PSLV-C61 Mission Falls Short as Rocket Glitch Stops EOS-09 Satellite Deployment
ISRO’s PSLV-C61/EOS-09 mission failed after a third-stage malfunction prevented the satellite’s deployment. Launched from Sriharikota on May 18, the rocket experienced a drop in chamber pressure mid-flight. This marked the PSLV’s first failure since 2017, with ISRO now conducting a detailed analysis to identify the root cause and restore miss...
