Sahara Meteorite May Be Fragment of a Lost Moon-Sized World, Study Suggests
A rare angrite meteorite discovered in the Sahara may have come from a moon-sized protoplanet that existed 4.5 billion years ago. Its unusual minerals point to a large world that later disappeared in a catastrophic collision.

Sun Unleashes Triple Solar Flare Blast, Triggering G3 Geomagnetic Storm Alert
Three powerful solar flares erupted from active sunspot AR 4455, sending Earth-directed plasma clouds into space. NOAA has issued a G3 geomagnetic storm watch, increasing the chances of widespread auroras.

NASA’s MAVEN Detects Rare Solar Wind Effect in Mars Atmosphere
NASA’s MAVEN orbiter has detected the Zwan-Wolf effect on Mars for the first time. The discovery suggests solar wind interactions on unmagnetized worlds are more complex than scientists once believed.

Massive Solar Storm Reveals How Mars Is Losing Its Atmosphere
Researchers using NASA’s MAVEN observed unusual plasma structures during a major Solar Storm, revealing new details about how solar wind strips away the Martian atmosphere and reshapes the planet over time.

New Study Suggests Uranus and Neptune May Contain More Rock Than Ice
New models suggest Uranus and Neptune may contain significantly more rock than ice beneath their atmospheres. The findings challenge decades of planetary science and could lead to a reclassification of the outer planets.

Sun Erupts with Powerful Solar Flare, Sending Plasma Toward Earth
The Sun unleashed an M5.7-class Solar Flare on May 10, 2026, disrupting high-frequency radio communications and launching a coronal mass ejection toward Earth. Scientists predict the incoming plasma could trigger a minor geomagnetic storm and brighten auroras across northern regions. The event highlights the Sun’s increasing activity as it approa...
