The Perseid meteor shower, peaking on August 12-13, 2025, promises a dazzling display despite an 80% illuminated Moon. Observers can witness bright meteors and fireballs radiating from Perseus, best viewed from dark locations. While moo ...more
Hubble Space Telescope captured a stunning view of the Large Magellanic Cloud, revealing swirling gas and dust in vibrant colors. These "cotton candy clouds" highlight active star-forming regions within the N11 nebula. Studying this nea ...more
The meeting should make way for legally binding obligations that span the entire life cycle of plastics, Thamizhachi Thangapandian suggests in her letter to the Environment Minister
Space hurricanes, unlike typical geomagnetic disturbances, are stealthy threats to satellite systems, forming even when the sun is quiet. These swirling plasma vortices disrupt GPS accuracy, scramble satellite signals, and distort Earth ...more
The US aims to build a nuclear reactor on the Moon by 2030. Sean Duffy leads this project for lunar energy independence. This plan counters China and Russia's lunar base. The reactor will power habitats and resource extraction. NASA als ...more
Space is an active place. Asteroid 2025 OT7 will fly by Earth in August 2025. It is about 170 feet wide. It will travel at high speed. It will pass at a safe distance. NASA and other agencies monitor such objects. ISRO is also planning ...more
On August 5, 2025, Earth is expected to experience a slightly shorter day, approximately 1.34 milliseconds less than 24 hours. This phenomenon is attributed to changes within the Earth's core and atmospheric fluctuations. While impercep ...more
Blistering heatwaves have also hit other parts of Asia this summer, from South Korea to Vietnam
Former NASA astronaut Mike Massimino recalls the breathtaking view of India from space, particularly the stunning city lights of Mumbai and New Delhi. He describes how these urban hubs appear as glowing constellations, distinct from the ...more
Without coordinated, better-resourced, and systematically independent approaches to detect, investigate, and sanction misconduct, a large new study’s findings show that the future of science is at risk of being shaped by those for whom acting in bad faith is the rational way to go
A recent study reveals lunar soil's potential for producing vital resources like water, oxygen, and rocket fuel using a solar-powered device. Researchers successfully extracted water from lunar regolith and converted it into breathable ...more
While a new study isn’t the first to describe how quantum phenomena can be used in the service of generating random numbers, the technique incorporates a cryptographic tool called blockchains in their protocol. This makes the technique fully traceable and certifiable by independent parties, making it the first of its kind
At a beach near Algiers, brown algae native to the Pacific Ocean cover the golden sand, posing a threat to ecosystems native to the area and their stench repelling swimmers at the peak of summer. The alga originates from temperate wate ...more
On Ireland's blustery western seaboard researchers are gleefully flying giant kites -- not for fun but in the hope of generating renewable electricity and sparking a "revolution" in wind energy. Ireland's wind energy sector has long bee ...more
Dhruva Space, an Indian spacetech startup, is set to launch its first commercial mission, LEAP-1, aboard SpaceX's Falcon 9 in 2025. The mission will carry AI and hyperspectral imaging payloads from Australian firms Akula Tech and Esper ...more
Asteroid 2024 YR4, initially a concern for Earth, now poses a slight risk to the Moon. While a direct Earth impact is ruled out, there's a 4% chance it could collide with the Moon in 2032. Such an impact could create a significant crate ...more
