SpaceX Starship Rocket Explodes During Ground Test at Texas Launch Pad
A SpaceX Starship rocket exploded during a static fire test at the Starbase facility in Texas, causing significant damage but no injuries. Preliminary findings suggest a pressurised tank failure in the rocket’s nosecone. Despite recent setbacks, SpaceX remains committed to its Mars mission, backed by NASA and a newly approved expansion in Starshi...

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 Captures First-Ever Rogue Black Hole Devouring a Star Outside Galactic Core
Astronomers led by Dr. Yuhan Yao have discovered the first offset tidal disruption event (TDE), where a rogue black hole outside a galaxy's core ripped apart a star. Spotted by the Hubble telescope and Zwicky Transient Facility, this marks historic evidence of a wandering supermassive black hole in action.

NASA’s X-59 Jet Conducts Afterburner Test for Supersonic Flight Performance
NASA’s X-59, part of the Quiet SuperSonic Technology (Quesst) programme, has successfully completed afterburner tests, bringing it closer to achieving quieter supersonic flight. Built by Lockheed Martin, the X-59 is designed to break the sound barrier without generating the disruptive sonic booms typically associated with supersonic travel. The r...

NASA Awards Johns Hopkins University Contract for Suprathermal Ion Sensor Development
NASA has awarded a $20.5M contract to Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory to develop Suprathermal Ion Sensors under NOAA's Space Weather Next Programme. The sensors will play a pivotal role in monitoring ions and solar winds, aiding early warnings against space weather impacts. Spanning a period through 2034, the project also involves integrat...

NASA's International Space Station Lab Develops Ultracold Atomic Bubbles, Paves New Way for Quantum Research
Researchers at NASA's Cold Atom Lab have experimented with gas to form an exotic material. They found that when gas is cooled to nearly absolute zero (minus 459 degrees Fahrenheit, or minus 273 degrees Celsius), it forms small, round blobs. The new study will help researchers to further delve into the quantum nature of matter.
