SpaceX Fram2 Mission Lifts Off, First Private Flight Over Earth's Poles
SpaceX's Fram2 mission has launched from Kennedy Space Center, marking a major milestone in private spaceflight. Led by billionaire Chun Wang, the crew of four will spend up to five days in orbit conducting 22 scientific experiments. Their research includes studying mushroom growth in microgravity and advanced X-ray imaging of the human body. The m...

Solar Storm to Trigger Northern Lights in US: Visibility, Timing & Impact
A solar storm is expected to reach Earth tonight, potentially creating auroras visible as far south as New York and Idaho. The Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) of NOAA forecasts a G1-class geomagnetic storm, with a possibility of stronger G2 conditions. This may lead to disruptions in GPS and radio signals. The best time to witness the northe...

NASA Rockets Create Artificial Clouds Under Northern Lights in Norway
On November 10, 2024, NASA conducted a rocket launch in Norway that resulted in swirling artificial clouds beneath the aurora borealis. The experiment aimed to study energy flow through Earth’s atmosphere and observe how gravity waves behave. The launch occurred from Andøya Space Center, located in the Arctic Circle, offering ideal conditions fo...

Sunspots Surge to 23-Year High as Solar Maximum Intensifies Beyond Predictions
August saw the highest number of sunspots since September 2001, surpassing forecasts and signalling a more intense solar maximum. The Space Weather Prediction Center had initially predicted a weaker solar cycle, but recent data shows sunspot numbers have far exceeded these predictions, indicating a robust peak in solar activity. This trend could le...

SpaceX Polaris Crewed Mission Delayed After Leak in Ground Equipment
SpaceX's Polaris Dawn mission will be delayed by at least a day because of a helium leak in ground equipment at Kennedy Space Center, SpaceX has said. The highlight of the five-day mission is expected to come two days after launch, when the crew embarks on a 20-minute spacewalk 434 miles (700 km) from earth, in history's first such private spacewal...
