NASA Directs ISS Crew to Shelter in SpaceX Dragon as New Leaks Detected in Russian Module

NASA has directed astronauts aboard the International Space Station to seek shelter inside the SpaceX Dragon capsule following the discovery of new leaks in the station's Russian service module. The space agency announced that Roscosmos, Russia's space corporation, detected the leaks and is currently working to

NASA Astronauts Return to ISS as Air Leak Repair Paused

NASA Astronauts Return to ISS as Air Leak Repair Paused NASA has directed astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) to return to the orbiting laboratory after repair operations for an air leak were temporarily paused. The incident underscores the ongoing technical challenges associated with maintaining the aging space station

James Webb Space Telescope Captures Stars Across Every Stage of Formation

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured remarkable new imagery showing young stars across every stage of their formation process. The images, released by the European Space Agency, demonstrate Webb's exceptional ability to observe stellar nurseries in unprecedented detail. By studying stars at different stages of development in

Scientists Discover Massive Hidden Structure Beneath Antarctica's Ice Sheet

A team of scientists has uncovered a massive, previously unknown structure hidden beneath the ice of East Antarctica. The discovery reveals that several well-documented subglacial features — previously thought to be separate — are actually connected components of one giant geological formation. The structure, described as fan-shaped, consists of extensive basins carved

Milky Way's Supermassive Black Hole Found to Generate Outward Gas Winds

New observations of the center of the Milky Way have revealed that the supermassive black hole known as Sagittarius A* is generating winds that blow gas away from the galactic core. The findings suggest that even black holes that are not actively feeding—considered "quiet" in astronomical terms—

Rare Sahara Meteorite May Contain First Evidence of a Lost Ancient Solar System World

A meteorite recovered from the Sahara Desert contains mineral signatures consistent with a destroyed moon-size world from the early solar system, researchers report. The rock, named Erg Chech 002, contains ancient pyroxene crystals that formed under high-pressure conditions on a differentiated protoplanet—possibly one with a metallic core and silicate

Webb Telescope Reveals Unusual Chemistry on First Interstellar Comet

First Detection of Methane Beyond Our Solar System NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has made a landmark discovery on interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, detecting methane for the first time directly on a comet originating from outside our solar system. The findings, detailed in new research, reveal chemical signatures
