Crunchy Crickets, Mealworms And More: Astronauts Could Eat Insects In Space
Insects can be a safe option for space travel as they require less land, water and feed than traditional livestock.

Researchers Expose Shocking Vulnerabilities in Satellite Communications
Researchers using basic satellite equipment intercepted thousands of unencrypted transmissions from space, exposing sensitive data such as corporate communications, text messages, and even government links. The study highlights major security flaws in satellite networks used worldwide. Experts warn the findings reveal how easily hackers could explo...

NASA’s ESCAPADE Mission Will Send Twin Probes to Uncover Mars’s Atmospheric Secrets
NASA’s ESCAPADE mission will launch twin mini-satellites, Blue and Gold, to Mars aboard Blue Origin’s New Glenn. The probes will study how solar wind stripped away Mars’s atmosphere and water, helping scientists understand the Red Planet’s lost climate and its transformation into the dry world we see today.

Are We Living In A Simulation? Here's What Scientists Have Said
In their study, they identified what they called "Godelian truths", truths that cannot be defined by any algorithm or fixed rules.

Scientists Just Solved the Mystery of the Moon’s Lopsided Dust Halo
Scientists have solved why the Moon’s dust cloud is uneven: heat. Using computer models, researchers found that meteor impacts on the Moon’s sunlit surface fling 6–8% more dust into space than on the cold night side, creating a lopsided halo. NASA warns this dust could threaten future landers and astronauts.

New Stanford Research Reveals An Optimal Balance Of Indoor Nature For Reducing Stress
A total of 412 participants took part in the study. Each person was placed in a virtual room and asked to imagine it as their new workplace.

New Study Suggests Universe's Expansion May Be Slowing, Not Accelerating
Professor Carlos Frenk of Durham University, who wasn't involved in the study, called the findings noteworthy.

Dark Matter and Dark Energy Might Not Exist After All, New Study Suggests
A new theory suggests dark matter and dark energy may not exist. Physicist Rajendra Gupta’s model proposes that the universe’s forces weaken over time, naturally explaining cosmic expansion and galactic motion without unseen matter or energy.

ESCAPADE Mission: NASA To Send Twin Orbiters To Decode Mars' Magnetic Mysteries
The mission is scheduled to launch on November 9, aboard Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.

Dark Matter May Behave Like Ordinary Matter Under Gravity, New Study Finds
A new study shows dark matter falls into cosmic gravity wells much like ordinary matter, narrowing one of astronomy’s biggest mysteries. Researchers say any unknown force acting on dark matter must be very weak, though future missions could detect smaller effects. The findings bring scientists closer to understanding how the universe’s unseen m...

Japan’s Akatsuki Spacecraft Declared Inoperable, Marking End of Dedicated Venus Missions
Japan’s Akatsuki spacecraft, which studied Venus for nearly a decade, has been declared inoperable by JAXA. Successfully orbiting in 2015 after an initial failure, Akatsuki uncovered major insights into Venus’s swirling clouds and atmosphere. Its mission’s end leaves a gap until NASA’s VERITAS and DAVINCI+ missions take over.

Mysterious 1950s Sky Flashes Re-Examined in New Astronomical Study
Thousands of unexplained sky flashes captured in 1950s Palomar Observatory photos are being reanalysed. Scientists suspect they may have resulted from sunlight reflecting off early satellites or atmospheric changes after nuclear tests, which increased flash rates by up to 68%. Still, photographic artifacts remain a possible explanation.

Russian Cosmonauts Complete Second Spacewalk to Install New Experiments on ISS Exterior
Two Russian cosmonauts completed a six-hour spacewalk outside the International Space Station, installing plasma and semiconductor experiments, servicing hardware, and preparing for future missions. The EVA, lasting nearly seven hours, marked the 277th in ISS history and advanced ongoing scientific research aboard the orbital outpost.

Scientists Propose Space-Based Carbon-Neutral Data Centres for Sustainable Computing
Scientists at NTU Singapore propose carbon-neutral data centers in low Earth orbit powered by solar energy and cooled by the vacuum of space. The concept could help meet rising AI demands while reducing land use and emissions, offering a sustainable alternative for the global computing industry.
