James Webb Telescope Maps Uranus in 3D for the First Time; Data Reveals Hidden Storms, Methane Clouds
The James Webb Space Telescope has produced the first 3D map of Uranus’s upper atmosphere, tracking temperatures and ion densities up to 5,000 kilometers above its clouds. The observations reveal bright auroras shaped by the planet’s tilted magnetic field and confirm that Uranus is still slowly cooling over long timescales.

AI Identifies More Than 1,300 Unusual Objects in Hubble Space Telescope Images
Artificial intelligence has combed through decades of Hubble Space Telescope data, revealing hundreds of unusual celestial objects that astronomers had missed. ESA’s AnomalyMatch neural network scanned around 100 million image cutouts in just days, flagging more than 1,300 anomalies. Among them are colliding galaxies, rare gravitational lenses, a...

Germany to Send First European Astronaut Around the Moon on Artemis Mission
Europe has secured its first astronaut seat to orbit the Moon through NASA’s Artemis program, marking a historic milestone for ESA. Director General Josef Aschbacher confirmed that a German astronaut will take the inaugural European lunar-orbit mission, enabled by Europe’s contributions to Orion’s service module and the Lunar Gateway. Veteran...

ISS Experiment Shows Moss Spores Can Survive Harsh Space Environment
A hardy moss species survived 283 days on the outside of the ISS, enduring vacuum, radiation and extreme temperatures. More than 80% of its spores lived and germinated back on Earth. The findings reveal surprising resilience in early land plants and may support future Moon and Mars ecosystem designs.
