NASA’s Parker Solar Probe Observes Solar Wind Making ‘U-Turn’, Shedding Light on Space Weather
NASA’s Parker Solar Probe captured solar wind reversing toward the sun, revealing how magnetic fields recycle coronal material. This process, seen during a close flyby, helps refine models of space weather and may allow scientists to better predict solar storms that can impact satellites, communications, and power systems across the solar system.

Satellites Missed Most Farm Fires In Punjab And Haryana: Report
More than 90 per cent of large farm fires in Punjab and Haryana are now going undetected by the official monitoring systems as farmers are shifting stubble-burning activities to late afternoons, according to a new analysis published on Monday.

German Team Uses Autonomous AI to Steer CubeSat in Space
Researchers at JMU Würzburg have achieved the first autonomous in-orbit satellite orientation using an AI controller on the InnoCube CubeSat. Trained through deep reinforcement learning, the AI repeatedly reoriented the spacecraft, demonstrating a major step toward fully autonomous, lower-cost satellite systems and future AI-managed missions.

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,...

Samsung W26 Launched With 8-Inch Main Display, 200-Megapixel Primary Camera: Price, Specifications
Samsung W26, exclusive to China, is based on the Galaxy Z Fold 7 but adds key differences. It retains the 8-inch foldable display, 6.5-inch cover screen, Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chipset, and 200-megapixel triple rear camera setup. It also offers 5G, Wi-Fi 7, and Bluetooth 5.4, alongside a 4,400mAh battery, Armor Aluminum frame, and a side-mou...

NOAA’s GOES-19 Satellite Records Rare Eclipse With Distorted Lunar Path
On Sept. 21, 2025, GOES-19’s CCOR-1 coronagraph recorded a natural lunar eclipse. The Moon’s trajectory appeared curved due to a satellite yaw-flip. Unlike L1-based coronagraphs, GOES-19’s orbit enabled this rare capture, helping scientists refine imaging systems and improve understanding of the Sun’s corona.

SpaceX Launches IMAP, CGO, SWFO-L1 to Probe Solar Frontier and Space Weather
A Falcon 9 lifted off from Kennedy Space Center on Sept. 24, 2025, carrying NASA’s IMAP, CGO, and SWFO-L1 spacecraft. The mission aims to chart the heliosphere’s boundary, monitor Earth’s geocorona, and deliver constant space-weather alerts, protecting satellites and astronauts while expanding knowledge of the solar system’s outer edge.

IMAP Space Weather Mission to Lift Off Soon, NASA Confirms Broadcast Plans
NASA will stream the Sept. 23 launch of IMAP with two rideshare satellites from Kennedy Space Centre. IMAP will study the heliosphere, Carruthers will image Earth’s exosphere, and NOAA’s SWFO-L1 will provide early solar storm warnings. Together, the missions advance space weather science while protecting satellites, communications, and power sy...

SpaceX Falcon 9 Launches 21 Satellites for US Military’s New Communications Network
On Sept. 10, 2025, SpaceX launched 21 satellites from Vandenberg, beginning the SDA’s first Transport Layer constellation for secure U.S. military communications. Built by York Space Systems, the satellites mark the first operational step toward a 126-satellite network linking American forces worldwide with encrypted, laser-based connections.

Astronomers Capture Sharpest-Ever Solar Flare Images with NSF’s DKIST Telescope
Astronomers have achieved a major breakthrough by capturing the sharpest images of a solar flare ever recorded, using the National Science Foundation’s Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope (DKIST). Observed at the hydrogen-alpha wavelength during the decay of an X1.3-class solar flare, the images unveiled hundreds of ultra-fine coronal loops averagin...
