NASA Juno Mission Uncovers Subtle Geometric Shifts That Challenge Existing Models of the Jovian Interior
Scientists have refined Jupiter’s size and shape using modern radio signal observations, finding the giant planet slightly smaller and more flattened than earlier estimates. Though the difference is only a few kilometres, researchers say it greatly improves models of Jupiter’s interior, gravity, and atmospheric structure, offering deeper insigh...

Venus May Hide a Vast Underground Tunnel Formed by Ancient Volcanic Eruptions, Scientists Say
Scientists analysing NASA’s Magellan radar data have identified signs of a vast underground lava tunnel on Venus. If confirmed, it would be only the second such structure found on the planet, challenging the belief that Venus is geologically inactive and opening new possibilities for studying its volcanic past.

Blue Origin Halts New Shepard Space Tourism for at Least Two Years
Blue Origin has announced a temporary halt to flights of its New Shepard spacecraft, pausing its suborbital space tourism business for at least two years. The company says the decision will free resources to accelerate development of its Blue Moon lunar lander for NASA’s Artemis programme, including robotic tests and a planned crewed Moon landing...

Spider-Like Scar on Jupiter’s Moon Europa Could Indicate Subsurface Salty Water
A spider-like scar on Jupiter’s moon Europa may indicate briny water beneath its icy crust. Researchers suggest impact-driven flows of salty liquid created starburst patterns resembling Earth’s lake stars. Future observations by NASA’s Europa Clipper mission could confirm these features, offering new insights into Europa’s subsurface oceans...

Blue Origin to Fly First Wheelchair User to Space on New Shepard NS-37
Blue Origin’s upcoming NS-37 mission marks a historic first: sending aerospace engineer Michaela “Michi” Benthaus, a wheelchair user, into space aboard New Shepard. Scheduled for Dec. 18, the flight will take six passengers past the Kármán line for a few minutes of weightlessness, highlighting growing accessibility and inclusion in private ...
