James Webb Telescope Discovers Tiny New Moon Orbiting Uranus
A team from the Southwest Research Institute has discovered a tiny new moon orbiting Uranus using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. The moon, called S/2025 U1, is just 6 miles (10 kilometers) wide, too small for Voyager 2 to detect during its 1986 flyby. This discovery brings Uranus’s total known moons to 29, with S/2025 U1 orbiting 35,000 mil...

OnePlus 15 Display Specifications Leaked; Said to Arrive in New Black Colourway
The OnePlus 15 is expected to feature a 1.5K LTPO display with up to 165Hz refresh rate and a new performance system enabling 165fps native gaming, making it the smoothest OnePlus phone yet. It may debut in a new “Moon Rock Black” colourway and come with a refined sandstone-textured protective case. The handset is tipped to come with a Snapdrag...

NASA To Build Nuclear Reactor On Moon By 2030, Here's Why
The first space race was about flags and footprints. Now, decades later, landing on the Moon is old news. The new race is to build there, and doing so hinges on power.

NASA Wants Nuclear Reactor On Moon By 2030. Here's Why That Matters
Nuclear power in space isn't a new idea. Since the 1960s, the US and the Soviet Union have relied on radioisotope generators that use small amounts of radioactive elements to power satellites.

US In Race With China To Claim "Best" Part Of Moon: NASA Chief
The United States is in a new space race with China to claim the most resource-rich part of the moon, NASA's interim administrator Sean Duffy said while announcing plans to install a nuclear reactor on the lunar surface by 2030.

Scientists Explore Role of Space Radiation in Powering Alien Microbial Life
A new study proposes that life may exist far from sunlight in a “radiolytic habitable zone” deep beneath the icy surfaces of Mars, Europa, and Enceladus. Cosmic rays, which can penetrate rock and ice, break water molecules apart to release hydrogen, oxygen, and energy-rich electrons. These can fuel microbes in subsurface water, much like bacter...

NASA Chief Sean Duffy Plans To Accelerate Moon Reactor Plans
NASA's acting administrator Sean Duffy plans to accelerate the construction of a nuclear reactor that could be used on the moon and alter the way NASA will partner with industry to replace the aging International Space Station.

WhatsApp Testing Night Mode Option in Camera Interface in Android Beta App
WhatsApp is said to be developing a new feature for its Android app which aims to improve photography in low light conditions. As per a feature tracker’s report, a dedicated night mode option is present in the camera interface of a beta version of the instant messaging app. It reportedly optimises the image clarity and brightness when shooting in...

NASA and ISRO Confirm Japan’s Moon Lander Resilience Crashed at Mare Frigoris
NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter and India’s Chandrayaan-2 have captured images confirming the crash of Japan’s Resilience lander on the Moon’s Mare Frigoris. Contact with the lander was lost 100 seconds before its June 5 touchdown. New photos reveal a dark impact mark and scattered debris.

New Habitability Model Helps Identify Which Alien Planets Might Be Able to Host Life
A NASA-developed model now enables scientists to estimate the likelihood of life on distant planets or moons using limited and uncertain remote-sensing data. By comparing habitat conditions with known lifeforms or hypothetical organisms, the framework offers a probabilistic tool to assess alien environments and improve telescope targeting in the on...

Hubble Finds Cosmic Dust Coating Uranus’ Moons, Not Radiation Scars
New Hubble Space Telescope observations have upended decades of expectations about Uranus’ moons. Scientists once thought the planet’s magnetic field darkened their backsides with radiation, but the latest data shows Titania and Oberon are collecting space dust on their leading sides instead. This “cosmic bug splatter” effect suggests dust ...
