SpaceX Falcon 9 Deploys 21 Starlink Satellites, Enhancing Mobile Connectivity
SpaceX launched 21 Starlink satellites into low Earth orbit from Cape Canaveral on January 27, 2025, at 5:05 p.m. EST. Among these, 13 satellites feature Direct-to-Cell technology designed to enhance mobile connectivity. The Falcon 9 rocket used for the mission was powered by a first-stage booster completing its 20th successful flight. This booster...

SpaceX’s Starship Explodes Over Atlantic Ocean After Successful Booster Landing
The seventh flight test of SpaceX's Starship vehicle ended in failure as the upper stage exploded over the Atlantic Ocean after separating from the Super Heavy booster. Despite the failure, SpaceX successfully landed the booster using its "chopstick" arms, marking a milestone in reusable rocket technology. The cause of the explosion is under invest...

Blue Origin's New Glenn Rocket Approved for First Launch Under FAA License
Blue Origin has received FAA approval to conduct orbital launches with its New Glenn rocket from Florida. The five-year license enables the company to carry out missions required for U.S. Space Force certification. The debut launch will focus on deploying technology for the Blue Ring program, a defense-related initiative. Initially slated for a NAS...

Humpback Whale’s Unprecedented 8,000-Mile Migration Shatters Records
A humpback whale has been tracked on an unprecedented 8,000-mile migration, breaking records for the longest documented journey between breeding grounds. Scientists suggest the movement might be due to climate change affecting food and mating behaviours. AI-driven photo tracking through HappyWhale.com played a key role in identifying the whale’s ...

Irminger Sea’s Crucial Role in Atlantic Ocean Current Collapse Identified
A new study highlights the vital role of the Irminger Sea in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). Increasing meltwater from the Arctic is weakening this critical ocean current, which regulates global climate. The research suggests that disruptions in the Irminger Sea could cause widespread climate shifts, including cooling in the...

World's Largest Ocean Predator-Prey Marine Event Captured Off Norway's Coast
In a first-of-its-kind discovery, MIT scientists observed a massive predator-prey event in Norway, where millions of cod pursued spawning capelin. The event highlights the critical role of capelin in the marine food chain, providing sustenance for predatory fish like Atlantic cod. However, as Arctic ice retreats due to climate change, capelin face ...

New Study Reveals Weaker Atlantic Current Could Mitigate Arctic Warming
Recent research from UC Riverside reveals that a weakening Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) could limit Arctic temperature increases by up to 2 degrees Celsius by the end of the century. While this slowdown may offer some relief, ongoing threats to Arctic wildlife and potential global weather disruptions remain a serious concern. ...

Study Warns Melting Arctic Ice Could Disrupt Ocean Currents in Europe
Scientists from UiT The Arctic University of Norway have issued a stark warning regarding the impact of melting Arctic sea ice on global ocean circulation patterns. Their recent study highlights that significant inflows of freshwater from melting sea ice into the Nordic Seas have historically led to dramatic cooling in northern Europe. By analysing...

Orcas Targeting Boats in Iberian Peninsula Might Be Practising Hunting Techniques
Recent research suggests that orcas in the Iberian Peninsula may be using yachts as practice targets rather than simply attacking for revenge or play. This theory proposes that young orcas are practising their hunting techniques on sailboats, particularly targeting the rudders. Since 2020, there have been numerous reports of orcas ramming and damag...

Atlantic Ocean Might Be Undergoing a Rapid Cooling Near Equator And Scientists Do Not Know Why
A significant portion of the Atlantic Ocean near the equator experienced a rapid and unprecedented cooling over the summer months, leaving scientists puzzled about the cause. While the temperatures in the area have started to climb back to normal levels, the reasons behind this sudden drop remain unclear. The cold patch, which appeared in early Jun...
