Satellite Constellations Like Elon Musk's Starlink Could Contaminate Space Telescope Images, NASA Warns
The contaminated images could impact various scientific studies, including asteroid detection and galaxy observations.

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,...

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.

China and NASA Coordinate to Avoid Satellite Collision for the First Time
China’s CNSA made history by alerting NASA to a possible satellite collision—marking the first instance of Beijing warning Washington in orbit. With Earth’s orbits growing crowded from megaconstellations like Starlink and Guowang, the event signals a new phase of cooperation in global space traffic control and shared responsibility for orbita...

NASA and NOAA Set to Launch Solar Probes for Space Weather Forecasting
In Sept. 2025, NASA and NOAA will launch three spacecraft aboard a Falcon 9 to the Sun–Earth L1 point. IMAP will map the heliosphere’s edge, the Carruthers Geocorona Observatory will study Earth’s exosphere, and SWFO-L1 will deliver real-time solar storm warnings. Together, they aim to improve space-weather science and safeguard technology on...

SWOT Satellite Captures Tsunami Wave After Kamchatka Quake
On July 30, 2025, the NASA–CNES SWOT satellite captured the leading edge of a tsunami wave in the Pacific, triggered by an 8.8 magnitude earthquake near Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula. Recorded about 70 minutes after the quake, the wave measured 1.5 feet in open water but could grow to 30 feet at shore. SWOT’s advanced radar mapped the wave’s...

Chandra Spots Distant Baby Planet Losing Its Atmosphere Under Intense X-ray Assault
NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory has captured a rare glimpse of TOI 1227 b, a young, Jupiter-sized exoplanet losing its atmosphere under intense stellar radiation. Just 8 million years old, the planet is shrinking rapidly as X-rays strip away its mass. Scientists warn it may become a barren rocky core in about a billion years.

Here's Why NASA Is Watching Volcanoes From Space
NASA reported that volcanic hazards pose a threat to approximately 10 per cent of the global population.

NASA Chandra Spots Distant X-Ray Jet; Telescope Faces Major Budget Cuts
NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory has detected a massive X-ray jet from quasar J1610+1811, 11.6 billion light-years away. The jet travels at nearly the speed of light, illuminating black hole behavior during the universe’s early era. However, Chandra now faces potential defunding under NASA’s proposed budget. Astronomers warn that cutting Chan...

Elon Musk's Big "Dragon" Warning After Trump Threat, Then A U-Turn
Billionaire Elon Musk, who has been publicly feuding with US President Donald Trump, on Friday announced the immediate "decommissioning" of SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft that is used by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
