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...

ISRO Successfully Tests SE2000 Engine for Next-Gen LVM3 Rocket Upgrade
ISRO conducted a successful third hot test of its SE2000 semi-cryogenic engine on May 28, 2025, at the ISRO Propulsion Complex in Mahendragiri. This final test in a three-phase series validated the start-up sequence of the engine, which uses liquid oxygen and kerosene in a staged combustion cycle. The SE2000 will power the upcoming SC120 stage of t...

China and Russia Sign Deal to Build Lunar Nuclear Power Plant by 2036
China and Russia have agreed to build a nuclear-powered lunar station by 2036, aiming to outpace NASA’s delayed Artemis mission. The reactor will power a permanent research base at the Moon’s south pole and be constructed autonomously, according to Roscosmos. The deal marks a major step in their joint plan for long-term lunar and Mars explorati...

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...

Scientists Warn of Inadequate Solar Storm Forecasting: What You Need to Know
Scientists warn that Earth remains exposed to solar storms due to missing early data on its magnetic fields. Current satellites offer just minutes of warning, limiting our ability to protect power grids, satellites, and GPS systems. Without broader solar observation from multiple angles, a major storm could cause catastrophic disruptions, emphasisi...

Ancient 14,000-Year-Old Solar Storm Revealed as Strongest Ever Recorded in Earth’s History
A massive solar storm struck Earth 14,300 years ago, now confirmed as the most powerful ever recorded. Finnish scientists detected it through carbon-14 spikes in Ice Age tree rings. Over 500 times stronger than the 2003 Halloween Storm, this ancient event redefines solar risk and highlights the growing need to safeguard modern infrastructure agains...

Sun Unleash a 600,000-Mile Filament in Fiery Eruption
A spectacular 600,000-mile-long solar filament erupted off the sun’s surface in a fiery blast captured on video. While the resulting CME will miss Earth, experts are watching closely as solar activity ramps up toward Solar Cycle 25’s peak. The event underscores the sun’s ongoing volatility and potential for more powerful outbursts ahead.

NASA’s McClain, Ayers Wrap Up All-Female Spacewalk to Power Up ISS
On May 1, NASA astronauts Anne McClain and Nichole Ayers carried out the fifth all-female spacewalk, working for nearly six hours outside the ISS. They assembled hardware for upcoming solar arrays and relocated an antenna used by Cygnus cargo ships. The EVA sets the stage for a 30% power boost to the station. While some tasks were postponed due to ...

The Universe’s Brightest Lights Have Surprisingly Dark and Mysterious Origins
NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has revealed that some of the universe’s brightest light sources originate near supermassive black holes in galaxy centres. These active galactic nuclei emit intense radiation, including gamma rays and X-rays, despite black holes themselves being invisible. Their powerful jets and high-energy emissions cha...
