Massive Sunspot Complex on the Sun Raises Risk of Strong Solar Storms
A massive sunspot complex has appeared on the Sun, covering an area comparable to the legendary Carrington Event region. Known as AR 4294-96, the active cluster features highly tangled magnetic fields that could unleash powerful solar flares and geomagnetic storms, potentially disrupting satellites, power grids, and global communications if Earth-d...

SpaceX Expands Starlink Network With 29-Satellite Falcon 9 Launch
SpaceX has launched 29 Starlink satellites into low Earth orbit from California, expanding its broadband constellation to more than 9,100 active spacecraft. The reusable Falcon 9 booster completed its 12th mission with a successful ocean landing, highlighting SpaceX’s push toward rapid, low-cost, global internet coverage.

Glaciers Speed Up in Summer and Slow in Winter, New Global Map Reveals
A new global map of glacier speeds, built from nearly a decade of satellite observations, shows that glaciers consistently move faster in summer and slower in winter. Meltwater acts as a natural lubricant, accelerating flow during warm months. Scientists warn that glaciers with strong seasonal shifts are likely to speed up long-term, adding to futu...

SpaceX Launches 28 New Starlink Satellites as Falcon 9 Hits Another Milestone
SpaceX successfully launched 28 Starlink satellites on December 4, 2025, from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. The Falcon 9 lifted off at 12:42 pm PST and completed a smooth drone-ship landing just 8.5 minutes later, marking the booster’s fourth flight. This mission represents SpaceX’s 156th Falcon 9 launch of the year, continuing the...

NASA Launches Rescue Mission to Save the Swift Gamma-Ray Burst Observatory
NASA is preparing an unprecedented mission to save the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory, a key gamma-ray burst monitor launched in 2004 but now rapidly losing altitude. Partnering with Katalyst Space Technologies, NASA will send a robotic servicer on a Pegasus XL rocket to rendezvous with Swift, inspect it, and raise it to a stable orbit. The effort ...

Artemis Era Raises Safety Concerns as Lunar Orbit Nears Capacity, New Study Finds
As lunar exploration surges, scientists warn that the Moon’s limited stable orbits are growing crowded. Georgia Tech simulations suggest that with about 50 satellites, each may need several collision-avoidance maneuvers per year. Even now, orbiters like Chandrayaan-2 require frequent course corrections. With Artemis and private missions incoming,...
