Intense Solar Storm With Huge CMEs Forced Astronauts to Take Shelter on the ISS
A major solar storm in mid-November 2025 dazzled Earth with vivid auroras but forced astronauts on the ISS to take radiation precautions. Russian cosmonauts sheltered in the station’s heavily protected Destiny lab, while other crew members stayed in shielded quarters as controllers limited access to higher-risk modules during the event.

NASA Experiment Shows Martian Ice Could Preserve Signs of Ancient Life
A NASA study suggests that traces of ancient life could be locked in Martian ice. Lab tests freezing bacteria under Mars-like radiation revealed amino acids can persist for tens of millions of years. Researchers say pure ice offers protection, making Mars’ frozen regions ideal for searching preserved biomolecules.

Researchers Develop Method to Predict Rare Green Auroral Events on Mars
In 2024, NASA’s Perseverance rover captured the first green aurora on Mars. Now scientists can forecast these rare events by tracking powerful solar storms. Beyond their glow, auroras signal radiation that could endanger astronauts. This breakthrough forecasting method is crucial for protecting future human explorers on the Red Planet.

New Synthetic Antioxidant Inspired by 'Conan the Bacterium' Could Shield Humans from Radiation
Researchers have developed a synthetic antioxidant inspired by Deinococcus radiodurans, a bacterium nicknamed "Conan the Bacterium" for its ability to survive extreme radiation levels. This lab-made compound, called manganese-dependent peptide (MDP), combines manganese ions, phosphate ions, and a peptide from D. radiodurans to neutralise harmful ra...

Mars Rover Mission Suspended Because of Ukraine War – Here’s What We’re Hoping for Next
ESA and partners are actively looking for options to launch Mars Rover Rosalind Franklin, a part of the ExoMars mission between Europe and Russia. As the plan was cancelled by ESA in March this year after Russia’s invasion of Europe, ESA can now plan to launch the mission alone, or teaming up with a partner such as NASA or SpaceX.
