NASA’s IMAP Spacecraft Prepares to Map the Solar System’s Edge
NASA’s Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) has been delivered to the Astrotech facility near Kennedy Space Center for final preparations ahead of a tentatively planned launch in fall 2025. IMAP will map the heliosphere — the solar wind-driven bubble that shields our solar system from cosmic radiation. It is to orbit near Lagrange...

NASA’s SPHEREx Telescope Begins 3D Infrared Mapping of the Universe
NASA’s SPHEREx space telescope has officially begun its two-year mission to map the entire sky in infrared light, capturing 3,600 images per day and covering 102 different wavelengths. The observatory aims to chart hundreds of millions of galaxies in 3D and uncover clues about the universe’s earliest moments. It will also trace the presence of ...

NASA's TRACERS Mission Rescheduled for 2025 to Explore Solar Wind and Earth's Magnetic Field
NASA has delayed its TRACERS mission to no earlier than 2025 to provide additional preparation time for the crew. The mission will send twin satellites to explore how solar wind interacts with Earth's magnetosphere, particularly through a process called magnetic reconnection. These high-speed solar particles can trigger auroras and impact satellite...

New Study Challenges Signs of Life on Exoplanet K2-18b
A bold claim of alien life on exoplanet K2-18b is now under scrutiny as a new analysis finds the data too weak to support earlier detections of dimethyl sulfide — a potential biosignature. Experts urge caution, noting that more robust, peer-reviewed evidence is needed before confirming the presence of life or habitable conditions on the planet.

Space Research Reveals How Icy Comets and Asteroids Could Reshape Earth-Like Planets
New scientific models and telescope observations from 2024 and 2025 reveal how comet and asteroid impacts can change atmospheres on Earth-like exoplanets, potentially supporting life or triggering climate disruption.

New Study Uncovers Shadowy Origins of Universe’s Most Luminous Phenomena
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...

New Study Suggests Yellowstone May Help Solve the World’s Helium Crisis
A new geological study reveals that Yellowstone National Park may harbor a valuable source of carbon-free helium, a gas crucial for medical devices, space missions, and quantum technologies. Traditionally extracted alongside fossil fuels, helium is in global shortage and poses environmental concerns when sourced conventionally. Scientists have iden...

NASA's New Satellite Duo Begins Tracking Mysterious Auroral Electrojets
The EZIE mission is shaping up to be a breakthrough in space weather research. Launched in March 2025, its three satellites are now orbiting Earth and collecting data on auroral electrojets, massive energy currents near the poles. Scientists believe the results could lead to better forecasting tools and stronger, safer satellite systems.

New Study Finds Hercules-Corona Borealis Great Wall Bigger and Nearer Than Thought
GRBs uncover a more massive and closer Hercules–Corona Borealis Great Wall, reshaping cosmic scale theories.Astronomers have found that the Hercules–Corona Borealis Great Wall—the largest known structure in the universe—is even larger and closer than previously thought. Spanning 10 billion light-years, this immense cluster of galaxies was t...

Hidden Solar Cycle Could Reshape Space Weather for the Next 50 Years, Finds Study
A hidden solar cycle is emerging, potentially intensifying space weather events over the next 50 years. While this cycle may raise concerns about geomagnetic storms and satellite disruptions, scientists believe it could also offer valuable opportunities to advance space weather forecasting, study Earth's magnetic field, and improve our resilience t...
