Parker Solar Probe Witnesses Unprecedented Sunward Plasma Jet Driven by Magnetic Reconnection
NASA's Parker Solar Probe has made a groundbreaking discovery, observing an unprecedented plasma explosion in the Sun's corona. This rare event produced a sunward jet of particles, with protons accelerated to nearly 1,000 times the expected energy. Scientists traced this phenomenon back to a magnetic reconnection site, where twisted solar magnetic ...

Astronomers Discover Most Powerful Cosmic Explosions Since the Big Bang
Astronomers have discovered extreme nuclear transients — rare and powerful explosions caused by stars being torn apart by supermassive black holes. These events, brighter and longer-lasting than supernovae, were observed using data from Gaia and ZTF. As the most energetic cosmic outbursts since the Big Bang, they offer valuable insights into blac...

Starship Flight 8 Explosion Traced to ‘Flash’ in Rocket Engines, SpaceX Investigation Confirms
A sudden flash in one of Starship’s central Raptor engines caused the loss of Flight 8, SpaceX has confirmed. The engine malfunction led to cascading shutdowns and triggered the vehicle’s self-destruct system. FAA oversight has cleared Starship for its ninth test flight, set for May 27, marking the return of the world’s most powerful rocket s...

FAA Approves SpaceX's Starship To Return To Flight After March Setback
The US Federal Aviation Administration on Thursday said it approved SpaceX's Starship to return to flight after its explosive testing mishap in March, allowing Elon Musk's space company to launch the Mars rocket's ninth test flight from Texas soon.

Hubble Captures Stunning Image of Peculiar Spiral Galaxy Arp 184 in Camelopardalis
Arp 184, also known as NGC 1961, is a stunning yet asymmetrical spiral galaxy captured by NASA/ESA’s Hubble Space Telescope. Located about 190 million light-years away in the Camelopardalis constellation, it features a single, starry spiral arm and a rich history of supernovae. Included in Halton Arp’s Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies, Arp 184 stands...

First Orbital Rocket Launch from Europe Fails as Spectrum Explodes Midair
The first-ever orbital rocket launch from European soil ended in failure as Isar Aerospace’s Spectrum crashed after liftoff from Norway’s Andøya Spaceport. The rocket experienced an anomaly 18 seconds into the flight, leading to a loss of control before it plummeted back to Earth and exploded. The test was conducted to gather data, and no payl...

Supernova Remnants Found in Oceanic Samples, Scientists Look to Moon
Scientists have identified supernova debris in deep-sea sediments, including a rare plutonium isotope linked to a kilonova. Researchers believe a neutron star collision occurred nearly 10 million years ago, scattering radioactive material across space. To validate this theory, they plan to analyze lunar soil, which remains undisturbed by Earth's ge...

240 Flights Disrupted By Explosion Of Elon Musk's SpaceX Starship
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration said on Friday that the previous day's explosion of a SpaceX Starship spacecraft disrupted about 240 flights, with space debris concerns requiring more than two dozen of those planes to divert.

Unusual X-ray Flash in Large Magellanic Cloud Puzzles Astronomers
A brief yet intense X-ray flash, XRT 200515, was detected in NASA's Chandra telescope data from 2000. The signal, originating from the Large Magellanic Cloud, has left scientists debating its cause. Possible explanations include a neutron star pulling in gas from a companion star or a powerful flare from a distant magnetar. Researchers also specula...

SpaceX Starship Flight 7 Explosion Raises Concerns Over Air Pollution
The explosion of SpaceX’s Starship Flight 7 in mid-January has raised concerns among scientists about atmospheric pollution. The upper stage, weighing 85 tons without fuel, detonated at 90 miles (146 km) above Earth, potentially releasing 45.5 metric tons of metal oxides and 40 metric tons of nitrogen oxides. Experts warn these pollutants could i...
