Sandisk Creator Phone SSD Review: Snap, Shoot, and Edit on the Go
The Sandisk Creator Phone SSD is available in 1TB and 2TB storage options. It comes in a single colour option - Blue, which may get dirty over time. The device targets content creators and solves one of the biggest hassles of space crunch. It also receives a direct-to-drive storage option and an IP65 rating for water and dust resistance. However, i...

Chang’e-6 Lunar Samples Reveal Water-Rich Asteroid Fragments
Analysis of Chang’e-6 lunar dust uncovered microscopic carbonaceous chondrite fragments—evidence of water-bearing asteroids that once struck the Moon. The discovery indicates a far greater delivery of water and organics to Earth and the Moon than thought, helping scientists refine theories about the solar system’s early volatile sources.

Astronomers Detect Heavy Water in Planet-Forming Disk Around Young Star
Scientists have detected heavy water in the planet-forming disk around young star V883 Orionis, confirming the water existed long before the star formed. The discovery, made using ALMA, shows that water’s origins trace back to ancient interstellar clouds, linking molecular gas, comets, and planetary systems across billions of years.

Exploding Dry Ice May Explain Mars’ Puzzling Dune Patterns, Study Finds
Scientists recreated Martian gullies in a lab and found they were carved by exploding CO₂ ice blocks, not flowing water. The discovery explains how these trenches form naturally and offers new insight into Mars’ ever-changing landscape

Researchers Reconstruct 2,500-Year-Old Faces From Skulls Found in Tamil Nadu
Researchers reconstructed lifelike faces from 2,500-year-old skulls found at Kondagai, Tamil Nadu. Linked to Keeladi’s Iron Age city, the portraits highlight advanced water systems, early Tamil script, and brick houses. The reconstructions provide a rare human link to South India’s sophisticated ancient urban culture.

James Webb Spots Bizarre Planet-Forming Disk Full of Carbon Dioxide
The James Webb Space Telescope has spotted a bizarre planet-forming disk dominated by carbon dioxide where water is almost absent. This rare finding, in star system XUE 10 within NGC 6357, challenges current models of planetary formation and may reshape our understanding of habitable worlds.

NASA Unveils Plans for Lunar Nuclear Reactor by 2030 Amid Rising Moon Race
NASA plans to build a 100-kilowatt nuclear fission reactor on the Moon’s south pole by 2030 to power Artemis missions and future lunar bases. The site offers access to water ice but raises legal and diplomatic concerns under the Outer Space Treaty. With China and Russia advancing their own lunar power plants, the move from the US.

NASA Telescope Detects Possible Signs Of Alien Life On Distant 'Water World'
Researchers using the Webb telescope found traces of two gases, dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and dimethyl disulfide (DMDS), in the atmosphere of K2-18b, a planet 124 light-years away.

James Webb Detects Carbon Dioxide–Dominated Coma in Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS
The James Webb Space Telescope observed 3I/ATLAS, the third interstellar object detected in our solar system. Its coma is unusually rich in carbon dioxide with little water or carbon monoxide, suggesting a CO₂-rich core or an insulating crust. Findings raise new questions about its cosmic origin.

Powerful Space Telescope Observes Interstellar Object, Finds CO2 And Water
NASA explained that the object has been categorised as interstellar because of the hyperbolic shape of its orbital path.

Devil Comet’s Water Matches Earth, Strengthening Theory of Cosmic Origins
Astronomers discovered that the water in Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks, known as the “Devil Comet,” is nearly identical to Earth’s. Using ALMA and IRTF data, they mapped cometary water for the first time. The findings bolster the theory that comets delivered water to Earth, enabling life’s emergence.

ESA’s Mars Express Discovers Deep Valleys and Frozen Features Hinting at Mars’ Icy Past
In July 2025, the European Space Agency’s Mars Express orbiter captured a high-resolution image of Acheron Fossae, a region marked by deep chasms and ridges on Mars’s surface. These features, created by ancient crustal stretching, split the terrain into raised horsts and sunken grabens. Valley floors reveal smooth surfaces carved by slow-moving...
