This ambitious mission marks a significant milestone in the quest to return American astronauts […]

On a winter evening in California, a Falcon 9 rocket pierced the night sky, carrying an Italian Earth-observing satellite into orbit. The launch occurred at 9:09 p. m. EST on January 2, 2026, marking the first mission of the year for SpaceX. The rocket’s first stage successfully landed back at Vandenberg Space Force Base approximately […]

In the vast expanse of space, a recent celestial event unfolded, captivating the attention of astronomers and the general public alike. An asteroid, designated as 2025 TF, made a remarkably close approach to Earth, passing approximately 186 miles (300 km) from the planet’s surface. This near encounter, which occurred at a distance of merely 200 […]

The landscape of space science is undergoing a profound transformation. Agencies are increasingly relying on smaller, more agile missions and private partners to drive innovation and exploration. A prime example of this shift is NASA’s ESCAPADE mission, which has been years in the making, with a series of delays and redesigns. ESCAPADE is part of […]

On January 1, 1801, Giuseppe Piazzi, a Sicilian astronomer, made a groundbreaking discovery – the dwarf planet Ceres. At the time, Ceres was considered a planet, orbiting the sun between Mars and Jupiter. Piazzi’s finding sparked excitement, but as more objects were discovered in the same region over the next few decades, Ceres and its […]

In a groundbreaking development, researchers at the City University of Hong Kong have successfully engineered robotic skin that mimics human-like sensations, including pain and reflexes. This innovative technology, dubbed neuromorphic robotic e-skin (NRE-skin), enables robots to detect and respond to various stimuli with unprecedented precision. The NRE-skin features a hierarchical, neural-inspired architecture that allows for […]

In the vast expanse of the “Einstein Desert,” a region of space where free-floating planets roam, a recent microlensing event has led to the discovery of a Saturn-sized planet. This phenomenon occurs when a celestial ___ passes between Earth and a distant star, creating a gravitational lens that distorts the star’s light, causing it to […]

The Vatican, a bastion of tradition, now finds itself at the precipice of a revolution. In May 2025, the white smoke emanating from the Sistine Chapel signaled the election of Pope Leo XIV, the first American-born pontiff in history. This marked a new era of openness, one that would soon be tested by the uncharted […]
