SpaceX Expands Starlink Network With 29-Satellite Falcon 9 Launch
SpaceX has launched 29 Starlink satellites into low Earth orbit from California, expanding its broadband constellation to more than 9,100 active spacecraft. The reusable Falcon 9 booster completed its 12th mission with a successful ocean landing, highlighting SpaceX’s push toward rapid, low-cost, global internet coverage.

New Study Shows Antarctic Waters Unleashed Ancient Carbon at the Ice Age’s End
New research shows that shifting Antarctic circulation after the last Ice Age released ancient deep-ocean carbon into the atmosphere. Using Southern Ocean sediment cores, scientists traced how expanding Antarctic Bottom Water mixed long-isolated, carbon-rich waters upward. The findings reveal a major but underappreciated driver of early Holocene wa...

Scientists Warn Southern Ocean Could ‘Burp’ Stored Heat, Delaying Global Cooling for 100 Years
New modelling suggests the Southern Ocean could one day release the vast heat it has stored from greenhouse gas pollution. If CO₂ levels were pushed to net-negative, deep convection may trigger a sudden “thermal burp” that warms the planet for decades. Though idealised, the study shows how Antarctica’s surrounding seas could shape long-term...

SpaceX Sends Sentinel-6B to Orbit for Precision Sea-Level Tracking
SpaceX successfully launched the Sentinel-6B ocean-monitoring satellite on November 17, 2025, marking its 500th orbital mission using a reused Falcon 9 booster. Sentinel-6B will extend more than 40 years of continuous sea-level measurement, delivering high-precision global ocean data as part of Europe’s Copernicus climate program. Equipped with a...

Antarctica Nears Irreversible Climate Tipping Point, Scientists Warn
Antarctica is approaching irreversible climate thresholds, scientists warn. Rapid melting of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, record-low sea ice, and collapsing ocean systems could raise global sea levels by over 3 m. These interconnected changes threaten coastal cities and ecosystems, urging immediate emission cuts to prevent cascading global consequ...

China Debuts ‘World’s Mightiest’ Centrifuge Hitting 300 Times Earth’s Gravity
China has launched CHIEF1300, the world’s largest centrifuge, capable of generating 300 times Earth’s gravity on 22-ton loads. Housed in Hangzhou, the facility enables research in geology, oceans, and materials, simulating disasters and extreme environments. Scientists say it will serve as a global hub for advancing engineering and frontier sci...

Greenland's Melting Glaciers Feed Ocean Life, Study Finds
A new NASA-led study reveals that Greenland’s melting glaciers are fueling life in the Arctic Ocean. Each summer, massive freshwater plumes from glaciers like Jakobshavn drag deep-sea nutrients upward, boosting phytoplankton growth by up to 40%. These microscopic organisms form the base of the marine food web and play a key role in carbon absorpt...
