NASA’s Solar Observatory Sees Two Eclipses in One Day
In a rare celestial event, NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) captured two eclipses on July 25, 2025. First, at 2:45 UTC, the Moon passed between SDO and the Sun, covering about 62% of the solar disk. Just hours later, around 6:30 UTC, Earth itself blocked the Sun entirely from SDO’s perspective. These dual eclipses occurred during SDO’s...

NASA’s IMAP Spacecraft Gears Up for Mission to Explore Solar System’s Edge
NASA’s Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) has begun final preparations at Kennedy Space Center for a launch no earlier than September 2025. The mission will position IMAP at Lagrange Point 1, a million miles from Earth, to study the solar wind and the edge of the heliosphere. The spacecraft, built by Johns Hopkins APL, will fly al...

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 ...

Canadian Astrophotographer Captures Stunning Sunflower Galaxy from Ontario
Astrophotographer Ronald Brecher has captured a magnificent image of Messier 63, famously known as the Sunflower Galaxy, from his backyard observatory in Guelph, Ontario. With over 13 hours of exposures taken using a Celestron 14" EDGE HD telescope and advanced imaging filters, the spiral galaxy’s fragmented arms and bright core are revealed in s...

NASA’s IMAP Spacecraft Prepares to Map the Solar System’s Edge
NASA’s Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) has been delivered to the Astrotech facility near Kennedy Space Center for final preparations ahead of a tentatively planned launch in fall 2025. IMAP will map the heliosphere — the solar wind-driven bubble that shields our solar system from cosmic radiation. It is to orbit near Lagrange...

Hubble Telescope Finds Unexpectedly Hot Accretion Disk in FU Orionis
Hubble Space Telescope’s recent observations of FU Orionis have revealed surprising new details about the star’s accretion disk. The study found that the disk’s inner edge reaches temperatures as high as 16,000K, nearly three times hotter than the Sun’s surface. This discovery challenges existing models of stellar accretion, which had predi...

James Webb Space Telescope Uncovers Inside-Out Galaxy 700 Million Years After Big Bang
The James Webb Space Telescope has revealed a unique “inside-out” galaxy from 700 million years after the Big Bang. Unlike most galaxies, JADES-GS+53.18343−27.79097 has stars forming rapidly at its outskirts rather than at its core, providing the earliest evidence of predicted galaxy growth patterns. Researchers used JWST’s advanced Near-In...
