New lakes forming on Greenland’s ice sheet are accelerating glacier movement by lubricating their base, contributing to faster ice loss and rising global sea levels.
Astronomers discovered an unusual “inside-out” planetary system where large planets orbit close to the star, challenging traditional models of planetary formation and suggesting more diverse cosmic structures.
Photos of Artemis II launch capture the dramatic liftoff from Kennedy Space Center, illustrating both technical precision and the emotional weight of modern space exploration.
Artemis II spacecraft now orbits Earth following launch, allowing system checks before its crewed mission to the Moon, marking a major step in renewed human deep-space exploration.
Physicists have resolved a long-standing fusion inconsistency, refining particle interaction models and improving understanding of plasma behavior, marking progress toward practical fusion energy.
Scientists warn current methods may underestimate microplastics, as smaller particles and inconsistent techniques leave gaps in environmental data.
A Starlink satellite has broken apart into multiple pieces following an anomaly, raising concerns about space debris and orbital safety.
April’s full “Pink Moon” will rise this week, marking a seasonal spring event and offering a bright, easily visible lunar display.
ANU physicists have shown helium atom pairs existing in a shared quantum state across two places at once, advancing tests of quantum mechanics and gravity.

A trainee anesthetist who stole NHS drugs for use during a chemsex encounter has been struck off, ending his medical career after criminal conviction.
For longtime launch watchers, Orion’s third flight feels different because Artemis II carries astronauts, turning a familiar spacecraft into a human milestone.
A Starlink satellite suffered an orbital anomaly at 560 km, breaking into tens of fragments. SpaceX says the debris poses no immediate risk and should de-orbit within weeks.
Hundreds of thousands gathered along Florida’s Space Coast as NASA prepared Artemis II, the first crewed mission toward lunar space since Apollo.
JWST data suggests interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS may be up to 12 billion years old—a frozen survivor from a star system so ancient it may no longer exist.
New JWST evidence suggests tiny dwarf galaxies—not giant black holes—produced the radiation that cleared the early universe’s hydrogen fog and switched on cosmic light.
A playful 20-question solar system quiz turns internet humor into a gentle test of astronomy memory, drawing readers back toward planets, orbit, and shared curiosity.
New research suggests Mars-like planets orbiting M-dwarf stars may lose their atmospheres within millions of years, limiting their long-term habitability.
