Ursa Major III May Be a Star Cluster, Not a Dark-Matter Dwarf Galaxy
Astronomers have long thought Ursa Major III, also called UNIONS 1, was a dark-matter-packed dwarf galaxy. But new simulations suggest it may instead be a compact star cluster bound by black holes and neutron stars. Located 30,000 light-years away, Ursa Major III contains just ~60 visible stars yet shows puzzlingly high stellar velocities. The new ...

AI Reveals Mars’s Mysterious Slope Streaks Likely Formed by Dust, Not Water Activity
An AI-based study has found that Mars’s mysterious dark slope streaks are likely formed by dust and wind, not flowing water as long believed. Based on an analysis of over 86,000 satellite images, the findings challenge past theories and may help scientists focus future Mars missions on more promising areas in the search for ancient life.

ISRO’s PSLV-C61 Mission Falls Short as Rocket Glitch Stops EOS-09 Satellite Deployment
ISRO’s PSLV-C61/EOS-09 mission failed after a third-stage malfunction prevented the satellite’s deployment. Launched from Sriharikota on May 18, the rocket experienced a drop in chamber pressure mid-flight. This marked the PSLV’s first failure since 2017, with ISRO now conducting a detailed analysis to identify the root cause and restore miss...

SpaceX Launches Falcon 9 Rocket With 28 Starlink Satellites Into Orbit From Florida
SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket launched 28 Starlink satellites into low-Earth orbit from Florida, marking the company’s 34th Starlink mission for 2025. The booster B1080 landed successfully on a drone ship after its 18th flight. These new satellites will expand the Starlink megaconstellation, bringing high-speed internet access to more parts of the g...

SWOT Satellite Reveals Key Insights on Ohio River Basin Lakes and Reservoirs
The SWOT satellite, a joint NASA-CNES mission, has provided new insights into the Ohio River Basin’s lakes, reservoirs, and water movement. Observations show water level changes between 1,600 feet and 330 feet, offering hydrologists critical insights into river discharge and freshwater availability. The SWOT satellite captures comprehensive water...
