Astrophysicists mapped the invisible universe by studying warped galaxies, revealing dark matter distribution and dark energy behaviour, supporting the standard cosmology model, and enabling new cosmic insights.

Venus appears so bright in the sky due to reflective sulfuric acid clouds, its closeness to Earth, and sunlight scattering that creates optical effects like a glory.

South Korean startup Innospace failed during its first orbital launch attempt as the Hanbit-Nano rocket crashed about a minute after liftoff from Brazil. The mission marked the country’s first private orbital launch effort and carried satellites from Brazil and India. The cause of the failure remains unclear, and the company is expected to investigate the anomaly.

A SpaceX Starlink satellite suffered a major in-orbit failure in December 2025, losing communication after venting its fuel tank and beginning an uncontrolled orbital descent. The malfunction caused the satellite’s altitude to drop and produced minor debris, prompting close tracking by SpaceX, NASA and the U.S. Space Force. High-resolution imagery from Maxar/Vantor...

Russia’s Energia rocket company has patented a rotating space station concept designed to generate artificial gravity for astronauts. The system would use spinning habitable modules to simulate half of Earth’s gravity, potentially reducing health risks linked to long missions as the International Space Station nears retirement.

Astronomers have detected strange wobbling jets in the rare sun-facing tail of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS. Observed as the comet neared the Sun, the shifting jets reveal new details about how material escapes from comets formed around other stars, offering rare insight into alien planetary systems.

POSTECH researchers have developed a “dream battery” using magnetic control of lithium to prevent dendrite formation. The hybrid anode stores lithium safely, offers four times the capacity of graphite, and sustains stable cycling, creating a safer high-energy solution for EVs and energy storage.

NASA’s SPHEREx telescope has completed its first all-sky map, revealing hundreds of millions of galaxies and providing data to study the universe’s origin, evolution, and distribution of life-essential elements across cosmic history.

A robotic arm mastered 1,000 manipulation tasks in one day using MT3 imitation learning, requiring only one demonstration per task and minimal data.

Blue Origin has made history by launching the first wheelchair user to space and safely returning her to Earth. Aerospace engineer Michi Benthaus flew aboard the company’s New Shepard rocket on a brief suborbital mission. The successful flight highlights expanding access to space as commercial missions increasingly include diverse passengers.
