Shubhanshu Shukla Bids Farewell from ISS, Honours India’s Space Legacy
Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla’s farewell message from the ISS during the Axiom-4 mission was a stirring tribute to India’s space journey. Echoing Rakesh Sharma’s iconic 1984 phrase, Shukla said that from orbit, India appears “full of ambition, fearless, confident and full of pride.” His 18-day stay aboard the ISS included over 60 experi...

NASA Astronaut Captures Rare Red Sprite Over Storm from Space Station
In a rare celestial event, NASA astronaut Nichole “Vapor” Ayers captured a vivid red sprite lightning phenomenon from the International Space Station as it flared above a thunderstorm across Mexico and the southern U.S. The image highlights the importance of orbital observation and NASA's citizen-science initiative, Spritacular, which collects ...

Climate Satellite MethaneSAT Fails After Just One Year in Orbit
MethaneSAT, a climate-monitoring satellite backed by Google and the Bezos Earth Fund, has failed after just one year in orbit. Launched in March 2024 to track methane leaks, the $88 million satellite lost power in June 2025. Though unrecoverable, mission operators will continue analyzing the collected data to support climate action and emission tra...

Mars Dust Devils May Spark Lightning, Might Pose Risks to Rovers: Study
A new computer-modeling study reveals that dust devils on Mars—swirling columns of dust and air—may become electrically charged enough to spark lightning-like discharges. Led by researcher Varun Sheel, the study simulates how dry Martian conditions and frictional collisions between dust grains can generate strong electric fields inside these vo...

Nothing Phone 3 First Impressions
Nothing Phone 3 has been launched as a direct competition to high-end Samsung and Apple devices. At a starting price of Rs. 79,999, it appeals to premium customers and packs a good set of features. The all-new Glyph Interface is the highlight of the new device, making it truly unique. It is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 8S Gen 4 and comes in two R...

Dead NASA Satellite Relay 2 May Have Caused Mysterious 2024 Radio Burst
In June 2024, a mysterious 30-nanosecond radio burst baffled scientists — until they traced it back to a surprising source: Relay 2, a NASA satellite offline since 1967. Researchers believe the signal could have been triggered either by a micrometeorite impact or an electrostatic discharge. The discovery, detailed in a new preprint study, highlig...

Nothing Phone 3 to Bring Animated Pixel Art Alerts via Glyph Matrix: Report
Nothing Phone 3’s new Glyph Matrix retains the Glyph Interface’s core essence but makes it more programmable, Adam Bates, Head of Design at Nothing, explained in a recent interview. It is also said to free up internal space for better hardware layout. The compact micro-LED cluster is said to support pixel-level animations and reactive lighting ...

Massive X-Class Solar Flare Erupts, Causing Widespread Pacific Radio Blackouts
A powerful X1.9-class solar flare from sunspot 4114 erupted on June 19, disrupting shortwave radio signals across the Pacific, including Hawaii. While it caused significant atmospheric ionisation, no coronal mass ejection (CME) followed. The event highlights rising solar activity and hints at more eruptions ahead, potentially impacting communicatio...

Fast Radio Bursts Reveal Universe’s Missing Matter Hidden in Cosmic Intergalactic Fog
Astronomers have uncovered the universe’s missing baryonic matter using rapid radio bursts. The study, published in Nature Astronomy, shows that most ordinary matter lies between galaxies, hidden in faint intergalactic clouds. This breakthrough highlights FRBs as powerful tools to probe cosmic structures, paving the way for discoveries in large-s...

NSF’s DKIST Captures Sharpest-Ever Images of Fine Solar Magnetic Striations
Using the NSF’s Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope, scientists have captured the most detailed views of the Sun’s surface ever recorded. The new observations reveal ultra-narrow magnetic striations only 20 kilometers wide, etched into solar granules. These light and dark bands reflect subtle variations in magnetic field strength. Researchers say ...
