Ariane 6 Launches Metop-SGA1 Weather Satellite into Polar Orbit
Europe’s heavy-lift Ariane 6 rocket completed its third successful launch on Aug. 12, 2025, lifting off from Kourou, French Guiana at 8:37 p.m. EDT. The mission carried Metop-SGA1, an 8,900-pound next-generation polar-orbiting weather satellite operated by EUMETSAT. Placed into an 800 km polar orbit 64 minutes after liftoff, Metop-SGA1 will deliv...

NASA CODEX Telescope on ISS Reveals Hidden Secrets of the Sun’s Corona
NASA has introduced CODEX, a cutting-edge mini solar telescope attached to the International Space Station, which is offering groundbreaking observations of the Sun's corona. Unlike past instruments, CODEX can measure both temperature and speed of solar wind particles. This innovation aims to improve our understanding of solar weather, especially a...

Japan Launches Final H-2A Rocket with GOSAT-GW Satellite to Monitor Climate and Oceans
Japan concluded the H-2A rocket program with the launch of the GOSAT-GW satellite, dedicated to monitoring greenhouse gases and sea temperatures. The mission strengthens Japan’s long-term commitment to climate research and marks a transition to the more cost-effective H3 launch system. Over its 25-year lifespan, H-2A recorded 49 successes out of ...

Earth Trapping More Heat Than Expected, Rate Doubled In 20 Years
How do you measure climate change? One way is by recording temperatures in different places over a long period of time. While this works well, natural variation can make it harder to see longer-term trends.

World May Exhaust 1.5 Degree Celsius Carbon Budget In 3 Years: Scientists
If the world continues to release carbon dioxide at the current rate, the carbon budget for limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius will be exhausted in just over three years, according to an international group of scientists.

Scientists Predict Exact Date Life On Earth Will End: Study
A supercomputer simulation predicts that life on Earth will end in 1 billion years due to the depletion of oxygen caused by the Sun's increasing heat and brightness, ultimately rendering the planet uninhabitable.

The Science Behind Thermals: How Warm Air Rises And Creates Buoyancy
This effect wins out over warm air rising. The warm air in a thermal will cool as it rises, until it reaches the temperature of the air around it and is no longer buoyant.

Astronomers Detect Methane in the Atmosphere of the Nearest T Dwarf Star to Earth
Astronomers have detected methane in the nearest known T dwarf, offering new insight into its atmospheric composition. The study further highlights that the carbon abundance in the planet is estimated to be -1.5 dex, while the effective temperature could be around 1,000 K. The author of the paper further revealed that the low metallicity of the T ...

James Webb Telescope Captures Neptune’s Auroras in Stunning Detail
The James Webb Space Telescope has provided the first-ever direct images of Neptune’s auroras, revealing surprising details about the ice giant’s atmosphere. Unlike auroras on Earth, Jupiter, or Saturn, Neptune’s auroras appear across unexpected locations due to its tilted and offset magnetic field. Scientists also detected the presence of H...

Newly Confirmed Super-Earth HD 20794 d May Support Life in Habitable Zone
A super-Earth, HD 20794 d, has been confirmed within a habitable zone 20 light years from Earth. The planet, first detected in 2022, has a mass six times that of Earth and orbits a sun-like star. Although its elliptical orbit affects temperature stability, its potential to sustain liquid water makes it a key target for upcoming space missions. Scie...
