Sun Erupts with Powerful Solar Flare, Sending Plasma Toward Earth
The Sun unleashed an M5.7-class Solar Flare on May 10, 2026, disrupting high-frequency radio communications and launching a coronal mass ejection toward Earth. Scientists predict the incoming plasma could trigger a minor geomagnetic storm and brighten auroras across northern regions. The event highlights the Sun’s increasing activity as it approa...

Artemis II Launched: NASA’s First Crewed Mission in 50 Years Aims for the Moon
NASA’s Artemis II mission was launched on Wednesday evening, marking the first time in 50 years that the space agency sent a crewed mission towards the Moon. The successful take-off of the new Space Launch System rocket and the Orion spacecraft took place from Launch Pad 39B at the Kennedy Space Center at 6:35pm EDT (Thursday, 4:05am IST).

NASA’s Carruthers Observatory Begins Mission to Study Earth’s Hydrogen Halo
NASA’s Carruthers Observatory has begun its two-year science mission to study Earth’s hydrogen-rich exosphere from a halo orbit at Sun–Earth L1. Equipped with ultraviolet cameras, the small satellite will continuously image the faint geocorona, tracking how solar storms and fast solar wind streams cause the upper atmosphere to expand, contrac...
