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.
NASA is executing an unprecedented rescue mission to save the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory, which has deteriorated from 600km to 370km orbit due to solar activity, threatening re-entry before 2026.
Astronomy enthusiasts can observe the Moon and Sickle constellation on June 18, 2026, as the lunar waxing phase begins with specific visibility windows.
NASA has selected Relativity Space, led by ex-Google CEO Eric Schmidt, to privately develop and launch a Mars orbiter mission in 2028, intensifying competition with SpaceX in commercial space exploration.
More than 13,000 seal pups died on remote Heard Island as H5N1 bird flu spread among multiple species, with mortality rates reaching 97% in some areas—far exceeding typical 5% annual losses.
NASA-developed electric dust shield technology uses transparent electrodes to remove dust from solar panels via electrostatic fields, potentially recovering 40-80% of lost output in arid regions while minimizing water usage and maintenance costs.
Research shows sports fans significantly overestimate how long a game result will affect their mood, but a simple diary exercise helps recalibrate expectations by prompting consideration of other life events.
H5N1 bird flu has killed over 75% of southern elephant seal pups on Australia's Heard Island, with 13,000 deaths among a population of 17,000 since August. The virus, detected for the first time in Australian territory, likely arrived via migrating birds.
Camera-trap data from 25 years of research suggests short-eared dogs, an elusive Amazonian canine species, have higher populations than previously thought, though they remain among the least-studied canids.
Major UK trial shows integrated trauma-focused therapy safely and effectively treats PTSD in people with psychosis, challenging decades of clinical exclusion from such treatments.
Multiple gaming outlets have published reviews for The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales, a new Switch 2 RPG that blends Final Fantasy and Zelda-style gameplay.
Researchers discovered plague bacteria in remains of Siberian hunter-gatherers from 5,500 years ago, challenging assumptions that infectious disease couldn't devastate mobile communities and suggesting marmots were the original plague source.
CDC research from 2021-2024 found 15.2% of pregnant U.S. women reported drinking alcohol in the past month, with 4.9% engaging in binge drinking and 2.2% in heavy drinking.
Csikszentmihalyi's 1975 flow theory—that peak performance occurs when attention points outward, not inward—is now confirmed by neuroscience showing the default mode network quiets during absorbed work, yet modern phones are engineered to prevent this state.
University of Osaka researchers successfully reconstructed ancestral microbial rhodopsins using advanced sequence analysis, producing functional ancient proteins in bacteria that reveal evolutionary insights into protein family diversity.
Creator Katie Dippold discusses the shocking finale revelation of 'Widow's Bay' and hints at season 2 plans, with star Matthew Rhys eager for answers about the show's future direction.
ESA's Sample Transfer Arm, a 2.4-meter robotic system with human-like dexterity and autonomous capabilities, is being prepared for lunar and Martian missions. The technology features cameras, force sensors, and millimeter-precision grippers for sample collection and equipment handling.
Webb e Hubble identificam Terzan 5 como remanescente raro com quatro gerações estelares que ajudou a formar o bojo da Via Láctea, reescrevendo a história da galáxia.
NASA confirmed asteroid 2003 LN6 will pass Earth on June 18, 2026 at a safe distance of 880,000 miles. Scientists classify it as routine monitoring with zero impact risk.
UC Riverside researchers found evidence that desert mosses host fungi inside their tissues, challenging decades of scientific consensus that mosses don't partner with fungi like other land plants do.
Projeto de 1974 que despejou 2 milhões de pneus no oceano perto de Fort Lauderdale para criar recife artificial fracassou, espalhando borracha e danificando corais. Limpeza iniciada décadas depois ainda tenta corrigir o desastre ambiental.
Over 13,000 baby seals have died from H5 bird flu on Heard Island in the Southern Ocean, representing 77% of the breeding population and marking the first detection in an Australian external territory.
Astronauts aboard the International Space Station photographed a spectacular aurora australis dancing beneath them over the South Pole, offering a rare perspective of Earth's natural light show.
A prototype differential atom interferometer overcomes laser noise obstacles, advancing quantum sensors for detecting dark matter and gravitational waves. UK funding supports scaling the AION technology for fundamental physics research.
Researchers demonstrated a differential atom interferometer using fermionic strontium-87 that operates at the quantum limit while rejecting laser phase noise, validating key principles for future gravitational-wave detection and dark matter searches.
