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...

NASA Confirms Successful Flyby of Parker Solar Probe, Completes Closest Sun Approach
NASA's Parker Solar Probe has set an unprecedented milestone, coming 3.8 million miles from the Sun at a speed of 430,000 mph. Launched in 2018, the spacecraft has utilised Venus flybys to perfect its orbit, enabling this historic feat. With advanced technology, it endures extreme temperatures, gathering critical data about solar wind and particle ...

NASA Parker Solar Probe Makes Closest-Ever Approach to the Sun, Becomes Fastest Object Built by Humans
NASA’s Parker Solar Probe made its closest-ever approach to the Sun on Tuesday, becoming the first man-made object to accomplish this feat. Parker should have travelled as close as 6.1 million kilometres to the Sun, gathering important data about its outer atmosphere. The confirmation about these feats should arrive by December 27, as the space a...

Underwater Neutrino Telescopes Installed in Mediterranean to Study Cosmic Mysteries
Neutrino telescopes have been deployed in the Mediterranean Sea as part of the KM3NeT project to study high-energy cosmic particles. The project aims to detect neutrinos, elusive subatomic particles emitted from space, by using large underwater detectors. These detectors, consisting of glass spheres with photomultiplier tubes, are suspended in the ...

T Coronae Borealis' Nova Outburst May Happen Soon, Experts Suggest
Astronomers are closely monitoring T Coronae Borealis, a binary star system in the Corona Borealis constellation, for its next nova eruption. The event, expected within months, could light up the night sky as the white dwarf gathers material from its red giant companion, triggering a nuclear explosion. Advanced telescopes like NASA’s Fermi are ga...

NASA's X-59 Supersonic Jet Completes Initial Engine Tests, First Flight Approaching
NASA’s X-59 quiet supersonic jet has passed initial engine testing, bringing it closer to its anticipated first flight. Developed at Lockheed Martin’s Skunk Works, the X-59 aims to break the sound barrier without creating disruptive sonic booms, featuring a unique elongated nose and an external vision system. This research will gather public re...

SpaceX’s Dragon to Reboost ISS for First Time, Paving Way for Future Deorbit Mission
SpaceX’s Dragon is set to perform its first reboost of the International Space Station (ISS) on Nov. 8. This mission, conducted in partnership with NASA, is a step towards a future in which a larger Dragon spacecraft will play a crucial role in safely deorbiting the ISS when its mission concludes around 2030. Currently, reboosts are generally man...

Astronomers Identify Black Hole Consuming Matter 40 Times Its Theoretical Limit
Astronomers using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope have discovered LID-568, a black hole that is consuming matter at a rate over 40 times the theoretical Eddington limit. This discovery, made in a galaxy formed only 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang, sheds light on how supermassive black holes might have evolved rapidly in the early universe. R...
