NASA Reschedules Artemis 2 and Artemis 3 Missions to Ensure Astronaut Safety
NASA has pushed back its Artemis 2 and Artemis 3 lunar missions to 2026 and 2027, respectively. The delays are attributed to issues with the Orion spacecraft, particularly its heat shield, which experienced damage during the Artemis 1 mission. Safety concerns and technical adjustments are being prioritised. The rescheduling could influence NASA’s...

Jupiter’s Moon Io Shows No Magma Ocean as New Findings Explain Volcanic Eruptions
NASA's latest findings indicate that Jupiter's volcanic moon Io does not have a global magma ocean beneath its surface, debunking previous theories. This conclusion comes from analysis of data from NASA's Juno spacecraft and archival observations from the Galileo mission. The study suggests that Io's interior is more solid than expected, with volca...

Mars Dust Storms May Be Predictable Based on Surface Heating Patterns
A new study suggests warm days on Mars often precede dust storms, with researchers analysing data from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. The findings show 78% of storms correlate with increased solar heating, particularly in northern regions of the planet. Scientists have developed an algorithm predicting certain storm types with 64% confidence, ...

NASA's Twin Mini Satellites Captures Far-Infrared Radiation from Polar Regions
NASA’s PREFIRE mission, launched in 2024, is utilizing CubeSats to capture groundbreaking data on far-infrared radiation emitted from polar regions. These measurements, which track heat escaping from the Arctic and Antarctic, provide critical insights into Earth’s energy balance, a key component in understanding climate change. Despite encounte...

Increasing Global Heatwave Hotspots Defy Climate Model Predictions
Heatwave hotspots exceeding climate models are emerging globally, with regions like northwestern Europe, central China, and the U.S. Pacific Northwest witnessing record-breaking extremes. Recent findings reveal jet stream wobbles, vegetation drying, and atmospheric patterns driving these anomalies. Notable impacts include wildfires, crop failures, ...

Could Sprinkling Diamond Dust in the Atmosphere Help Reverse Global Warming?
Researchers have explored a potential solution for reversing global warming: dispersing diamond dust in the atmosphere to reflect sunlight and reduce heat reaching Earth. Though diamond dust emerged as a promising option due to its reflectivity and inert nature, the cost of implementing this solution globally would be incredibly high – approximat...

El Nino Drives Record Global Temperatures in 2023, Studies Reveal
New studies suggest the dramatic temperature increase seen in 2023 was largely influenced by the Pacific’s El Niño, which followed several years of cooling La Niña conditions. While researchers have ruled out some contributing factors, questions about this record-breaking year remain, particularly as temperatures exceeded typical El Niño patte...

Will Hurricanes Become Even Stronger as the Planet Warms?
Hurricanes derive their strength from warm ocean waters, with current theoretical wind speed limits around 200 mph. However, as global temperatures continue to rise due to climate change, experts predict hurricanes could intensify even further. This increase in ocean heat may push the limits, potentially resulting in stronger storms with winds exce...

Mars Loses Water Faster When Closer to the Sun, New Hubble and MAVEN Study Shows
Mars loses water faster when it is closest to the Sun, according to new data from the Hubble Space Telescope and NASA’s Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) mission. The rate of hydrogen loss in Mars' atmosphere increases significantly during perihelion, the point in its orbit closest to the Sun. This seasonal change has major implicati...
