  NASA’s Perseverance May Have Found Its First Meteorite on Mars

  NASA’s Perseverance rover may have discovered its first meteorite on Mars, a 31-inch iron-nickel boulder named Phippsaksla found in Jezero Crater. Its pitted, coral-like texture and unusually high metal content resemble meteorites previously identified by Curiosity, Spirit, and Opportunity. Scientists are now analysing the rock’s composition in...

  Artemis Era Raises Safety Concerns as Lunar Orbit Nears Capacity, New Study Finds

  As lunar exploration surges, scientists warn that the Moon’s limited stable orbits are growing crowded. Georgia Tech simulations suggest that with about 50 satellites, each may need several collision-avoidance maneuvers per year. Even now, orbiters like Chandrayaan-2 require frequent course corrections. With Artemis and private missions incoming,...

  Nearby Super-Earth GJ 251 c Could Help Learn About Worlds That Once Supported Life, Astronomers Say

  Astronomers discovered GJ 251 c, a super-Earth 20 light-years away. Its location in the habitable zone and rocky composition make it a top candidate for future searches for life beyond our solar system. The team, led by Suvrath Mahadevan and Corey Beard, said this discovery provides a clock for one of the best candidates to search for life's atmo...

  Blue Origin Joins SpaceX in Orbital Booster Reuse Era With New Glenn’s Successful Launch and Landing

  Blue Origin’s New Glenn successfully launched NASA’s ESCAPADE mission to Mars on November 13, 2025, marking its second flight and its first ocean booster landing on the ship Jacklyn. The mission deploys twin satellites built by Rocket Lab to study how the solar wind strips Mars’ atmosphere during a 22-month journey to the Red Planet.

  Blue Origin Delays NASA Mars Launch Amid Weather and FAA Restrictions

  Blue Origin has postponed the launch of NASA’s twin ESCAPADE Mars probes due to bad weather and new FAA restrictions on daytime launches during the U.S. government shutdown. The mission, now targeting Nov. 12, will study how solar wind stripped away Mars’s atmosphere. Blue Origin is seeking an FAA exemption to proceed with the launch.

  Bad Weather Delays Blue Origin’s New Glenn Launch of NASA’s Mars Mission

  Blue Origin’s New Glenn launch was postponed on November 9, 2025, because of heavy clouds at Cape Canaveral. The rocket was carrying NASA’s twin ESCAPADE orbiters to study Mars’s atmosphere. The delay came a day before the FAA’s new daytime launch ban during a federal shutdown. The next attempt is scheduled for November 12.

  Scientists Just Solved the Mystery of the Moon’s Lopsided Dust Halo

  Scientists have solved why the Moon’s dust cloud is uneven: heat. Using computer models, researchers found that meteor impacts on the Moon’s sunlit surface fling 6–8% more dust into space than on the cold night side, creating a lopsided halo. NASA warns this dust could threaten future landers and astronauts.

  Japan’s Akatsuki Spacecraft Declared Inoperable, Marking End of Dedicated Venus Missions

  Japan’s Akatsuki spacecraft, which studied Venus for nearly a decade, has been declared inoperable by JAXA. Successfully orbiting in 2015 after an initial failure, Akatsuki uncovered major insights into Venus’s swirling clouds and atmosphere. Its mission’s end leaves a gap until NASA’s VERITAS and DAVINCI+ missions take over.
