Astronomers Reveal Sudden Explosion of Small Asteroid Over France
In February 2023, asteroid 2023 CX1 exploded suddenly over France, stunning scientists. Tracked only hours before impact, the tiny rock disintegrated in a powerful airburst, scattering meteorites across Normandy. The rare event provides crucial insights into asteroid behavior and raises new considerations for future planetary defense strategies.

Ostrich, Emu Ancestors Could Fly, Scientists Discover
It may sound like a joke, but scientists have long been puzzled by how the family of birds that includes African ostriches, Australian emus and cassowaries, New Zealand kiwis and South American rheas spread across the world -- given that none of them

Solar Storm From Hidden Magnetic Island on the Sun Surprises Scientists
In mid-September 2025, a “secret” magnetic island inside a solar coronal hole triggered a powerful G3 storm. The surprise event sent dazzling auroras across North America, seen as far south as Illinois. Researchers say the rare polarity patch intensified solar winds, making aurora season’s start spectacular.

Sun Shows Signs of Rising Activity Following Decades of Weakening, Study Finds
A new NASA study shows the Sun’s activity has been rising since 2008, reversing decades of decline. The unexpected trend suggests greater risks from solar storms, flares, and plasma ejections. Scientists stress improved forecasting is essential, with upcoming missions like IMAP and SWFO-L1 set to expand space weather monitoring and protection eff...

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.

Butterfly-Shaped Hole in the Sun Could Spark Solar Storms Worldwide This Weekend
A giant butterfly-shaped coronal hole on the Sun is blasting solar wind toward Earth, expected to trigger geomagnetic storm conditions on Sept. 13–14. Forecasts suggest possible G1 to G2 levels, raising chances for auroras across mid- and high-latitudes. Scientists note the equinox effect could intensify activity, offering a prime opportunity for...

NASA’s Artemis II Astronauts Will Double as Test Subjects for Deep Space Health Research
NASA’s Artemis II mission will send astronauts beyond low Earth orbit as both scientists and volunteer test subjects. The crew will conduct health, radiation, and lunar studies, providing vital data to protect future explorers. Results will guide safety protocols for lunar and Mars missions, advancing human readiness for long-duration deep space ...
