China Loses 26 Percent of Its Glaciers Due to Global Warming, Claims New Study
China's glaciers have shrunk by 26 percent over six decades, with nearly 7,000 small glaciers disappearing. Data from the Chinese Academy of Sciences reveals that glacier area dropped from 59,000 sq km in the 1960s to 46,000 sq km by 2020. Scientists warn that continued ice loss could worsen water shortages. Authorities are trying to slow the proce...

New Study Challenges Claims of Vast Underground Water on Mars
Mars’ water history remains a mystery as new research questions the claim that vast amounts of water are stored beneath its surface. A study led by Bruce Jakosky argues that previous estimates of Mars’ mid-crust being saturated with liquid water may be inaccurate. The findings challenge earlier interpretations of seismic data from NASA’s InSi...

Antarctic Ice Melt Weakens Strongest Ocean Current, Disrupting Global Circulation
The Antarctic Circumpolar Current, the planet’s most powerful ocean circulation system, could slow by 20 percent by 2050 due to melting Antarctic ice. Researchers suggest that the influx of fresh, cold water is disrupting convection, altering global ocean density. A weaker current may allow warm water to reach Antarctica, accelerating ice loss an...

NASA’s Lunar Trailblazer Moon Probe Struggles with Power and Signal Loss
NASA’s Lunar Trailblazer, launched on 26 February, has lost communication and is running low on power. The spacecraft, meant to detect water ice on the moon, has been unable to perform key trajectory corrections. Ground controllers are using the Deep Space Network and observatories to assess its position, but recovery remains uncertain. The missi...

Athena Lunar Lander Successfully Lands Near Moon’s South Pole on IM-2 Mission
Intuitive Machines' Athena lunar lander has successfully landed near the Moon’s south pole as part of NASA’s IM-2 mission. Launched aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, the lander aims to explore lunar resources and test new technologies, including NASA’s PRIME-1 water ice experiment and Nokia’s 4G network. The exact condition of Athena remains...

Enceladus' Geysers May Not Come from Underground Ocean, Study Suggests
Enceladus, one of Saturn’s most intriguing moons, has long been thought to have water plumes erupting from its underground ocean. However, a recent study proposes an alternative explanation, suggesting the plumes may originate from a semi-liquid layer within the moon’s ice shell. Researchers believe shear heating along fractures creates slushy,...

SpaceX Falcon 9 Launches Athena Lander, NASA's Lunar Trailblazer to Moon
On February 26, 2025, SpaceX Falcon 9 launched Athena and NASA's Lunar Trailblazer from Kennedy Space Center. Athena, developed by Intuitive Machines, will land near Mons Mouton to investigate lunar ice using the PRIME-1 drill. Lunar Trailblazer will orbit the Moon, mapping water ice deposits. The mission includes two secondary vehicles: MAPP, a ro...
