New 3D Map of Local Hot Bubble Reveals Interstellar Tunnel to Superbubble
Using data from the eROSITA All-Sky Survey, astronomers mapped the Local Hot Bubble in 3D, finding a new interstellar tunnel leading towards Centaurus. This tunnel may link the bubble with another galactic superbubble, hinting at a broader network of gas corridors. The eROSITA data also unveils temperature variations within the bubble, supporting t...

NASA Engineers Restore Voyager 1 Communications After 15 Billion-Mile Transmission Disruption
NASA successfully reconnected with Voyager 1 after an unexpected communication disruption caused by a shutdown of the spacecraft’s primary transmitter. Engineers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California pinpointed the cause as Voyager’s fault protection system, which manages power by shutting down non-essential systems. With a second...

Astronomers Discover 1-Cyanopyrene in Interstellar Space Revealing Carbon Secrets
Astronomers have discovered a new organic molecule, 1-cyanopyrene, in interstellar space. This finding challenges the long-held belief that carbon-rich compounds cannot survive harsh conditions in space. Detected in the Taurus Molecular Cloud-1, this discovery opens new avenues for understanding how carbon behaves in the universe. Researchers empha...

NASA Voyager 2 Shuts Down Plasma Science Instrument to Conserve Power
NASA engineers have powered down the plasma science instrument on Voyager 2 to conserve energy. Launched in 1977, the spacecraft is now 12.8 billion miles from Earth. With power decreasing yearly, NASA aims to keep at least one instrument functional into the 2030s. The plasma science instrument, which helped confirm Voyager 2's crossing into inters...

Voyager 1's Thruster Swap Ensures Continued Operation of Aging Spacecraft in Interstellar Space
Voyager 1, NASA's most distant spacecraft, recently underwent a crucial thruster adjustment to maintain its orientation and data transmission capabilities. The 47-year-old spacecraft faced challenges due to ageing components and power limitations, requiring careful engineering solutions. Despite these issues, Voyager 1 continues to send valuable da...

"Once-In-A-Lifetime" Cosmic Explosion Will Be Visible From Earth, Says NASA
The "Blaze Star," which is a binary system in the Northern Crown about 3,000 light years from Earth, is comprised of a white dwarf, an Earth-sized remnant of a dead star with a mass comparable to the sun.
