NASA’s GNEISS Mission Will Map Electric Currents Behind the Aurora
NASA’s GNEISS mission will launch from Alaska in early 2026 to probe the electric currents that drive auroras. Two rockets will fly through glowing auroral arcs, releasing sub-payloads whose radio signals act like a CT scan. By mapping electron density and direction, scientists aim to improve space weather forecasting and better protect satellite...

Astronomers Find Massive Iron-Rich Feature Lurking Under the Ring Nebula
A new astronomical discovery has revealed a gigantic iron-rich structure hidden inside the famous Ring Nebula. Detected using cutting-edge imaging technology, the structure’s massive size and mysterious origin are reshaping scientists’ understanding of planetary nebulae and proving that even familiar regions of space still hold astonishing surp...

Toxic Gas May Have Sparked Life on Earth Through Icy ‘Cobweb’ Crystals
Researchers at Sweden’s Chalmers University of Technology suggest that frozen hydrogen cyanide may have helped trigger the chemistry that led to life on Earth. Their simulations show HCN forming cobweb-like ice crystals whose reactive surfaces enable unusual chemical reactions even in extreme cold. These processes could generate amino acids, nucl...

The Next Space Frontier May Be Just 100 km Above Earth, Not the Moon or Mars
As low Earth orbit becomes crowded, very low Earth orbit satellites are emerging as a promising alternative. Operating closer to Earth, they offer faster communication, sharper imaging, and better weather data. Advances in propulsion are helping overcome atmospheric drag, opening the door to wider use of this challenging but valuable orbital region...
