NASA is set to launch four astronauts on Artemis II, a 10-day crewed mission around the moon marking humanity's farthest spaceflight in 54 years and a critical step toward lunar surface landing before China.
Asteroid Apophis will pass within 32,000 km of Earth on April 13, 2029—closer than weather satellites—potentially visible to 90% of the global population. Scientists are studying potential consequences despite the confirmed safe passage.
NASA has selected Tesla's Cybertruck, which has been recalled 11 times, as the launch-pad escape vehicle for the upcoming Crew-13 mission to the ISS scheduled for September 12.
A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket upper stage will impact the Moon on August 5, creating a crater and dust plume that astronomers plan to study to better understand lunar impacts and subsurface composition.
A partial solar eclipse will darken UK skies on August 12, 2026, blocking up to 95% of sunlight—the most significant eclipse visible from Britain since 1999. Viewers must use certified eclipse glasses for safe observation.

NASA has approved Dragonfly, a nuclear-powered drone mission to Saturn's moon Titan to search for prebiotic chemistry. Titan is the only known place beyond Earth with rain, rivers, and seas.
NASA has chosen Tesla's Cybertruck for astronaut transport operations, raising concerns about the vehicle's reliability record and suitability for critical space program missions.
A pioneering cancer rehabilitation trial in Cork has secured €100,000 renewed funding from the Irish Cancer Society to expand analysis and implementation of supportive care for men with advanced cancers.
NASA delivered NavCube3-mini, a compact navigation payload, to Intuitive Machines to support lunar communications and navigation for Artemis missions and future Moon operations.
Sino Biological released a precisely characterized p-Tau217 protein to support Alzheimer's disease biomarker assay development, addressing growing demand for well-defined research materials in neurodegenerative disease research.
Two new studies use antisense oligonucleotides to investigate autism-related rare genetic conditions, with one showing seizure reduction and improved language skills in children with developmental epileptic encephalopathies.
University of British Columbia researchers identified a previously unknown lymphatic drainage pathway at the back of the eye that clears waste and fluid, potentially opening new treatment avenues for blindness-causing diseases like glaucoma and macular degeneration.
Titan's nitrogen atmosphere and surface liquids resemble Earth, but extreme cold (-290°F), toxic hydrocarbons, and extended seasons make human settlement technically possible but practically daunting without breakthrough technologies.
Un estudio de BBVA Research advierte que la capacidad de la red eléctrica en Alicante es insuficiente para desarrollar miles de viviendas previstas, con proyectos como el PAU 5 de Playa de San Juan (4.000 viviendas) bloqueados por falta de infraestructura.
Chinese researchers propose a two-stage asteroid defense method combining kinetic impact with subsurface nuclear detonation, simulations suggest 3-megaton explosion could destroy 100-meter asteroids.
A global review of 21.3 million children estimates 0.77% have autism spectrum disorder, suggesting many countries underestimate support needs and may be missing diagnoses due to limited screening and specialist access.
Ciberdelincuentes explotaron una vulnerabilidad en dispositivos Coldcard para sustraer 70 millones de dólares en bitcoin en 41 minutos, demostrando que ni los monederos fríos más seguros son infalibles.
French researchers identified VvLYK4-2 as the key receptor enabling grapevines to detect chitosan and activate immune responses, potentially improving reliability of bio-based crop protection.
Un fragmento de cuatro toneladas de un cohete Falcon 9 de SpaceX se estrellará contra la Luna a 8,700 km/h este miércoles, creando un nuevo cráter visible potencialmente desde la Tierra.
Una etapa superior del Falcon 9 de SpaceX impactará la Luna el 5 de agosto a 8.700 km/h, creando un cráter de 27 metros. El incidente expone la falta de previsión de empresas espaciales en gestionar residuos orbitales.
Casetify introduces new cases and screen protectors for Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold8, Fold8 Ultra, and Flip8, featuring innovative hinge protection and drop resistance up to 1.2m.
Researchers decoded how Arnebia tschimganica produces shikonin, a valuable medicinal compound, by sequencing its genome and comparing it with a high-producing relative, identifying key genetic switches for sustainable production.
The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered evidence that three of Neptune's moons may be remnants of ice worlds destroyed in an ancient catastrophic collision, fundamentally reshaping understanding of the moon system's origins.
Japanese physicists used Infleqtion's cloud-based quantum platform to experimentally verify anomalous tunneling in Bose-Einstein condensates, marking the first peer-reviewed publication from the service and opening new research possibilities for theoretical physicists.
