Scientists have mapped Earth’s vast underground fungal network, revealing it is so extensive that, if stretched into a single line, it could reach other star systems and span a significant portion of the Milky Way. The study, published in Science, focused on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi—microscopic organisms that form a hidden framework in soil. These fungi […]
SpaceX officially unveiled AI1 this week, its first-generation satellite built to host AI workloads in space. Elon Musk presented the project during a technical update on the company’s progress in manufacturing, launching, and operating satellites for large-scale computing. The company says AI1 can reach up to 150 kW of peak computing power and 120 kW
Toward the end of June, Earth is expected to have a close encounter with asteroid 152637, also known as 1997 NC1, which will make its nearest approach in more than 400 years on June 27. The asteroid will pass about 2.56 million kilometers from Earth—a distance astronomers consider close. Reports from IFL Science suggest this

A new detector-based approach explains how gravitational waves can be measured in a universe that is constantly changing. Imagine trying to measure ripples on a pond while the pond itself is slowly changing shape. That is the difficulty scientists face when studying gravitational waves not as isolated signals from colliding black holes, but as part
NASA’s newly announced Artemis III crew is gearing up for one of the most challenging missions ever undertaken in the effort to return to the Moon. NASA has announced the crew for Artemis III and released new information about what may become one of the most demanding human spaceflight missions ever planned. Set for 2027,
In 2001, British electrical engineer Roger Shawyer unveiled the EmDrive, often dubbed the “impossible drive.” The device gained attention because Shawyer claimed it could generate thrust without using any propellant. If accurate, it would function as a reactionless drive—seemingly moving forward without expelling anything in the opposite direction. Such a concept directly challenges the law

NASA’s Psyche spacecraft used Mars as a gravity slingshot while traveling toward a metal-rich world that may help uncover what lies inside planets like Earth. On May 15, NASA’s Psyche spacecraft flew just 2,864 miles (4,609 kilometers) above Mars in a successful close pass. The spacecraft used Mars’ gravity to gain speed and adjust its

NASA unveiled a new Perseverance rover selfie from its Mars exploration since 2021. The image highlights part of the Martian landscape inside the ancient Jezero Crater, featuring rocky terrain and towering cliffs. NASA said the photo was taken on March 11, marking Perseverance’s 1,797th day on Mars. Perseverance Reaches Jezero’s Western Edge Scientists noted that
The Perseverance rover captured a new selfie revealing the Martian surface Read More »
Scientists have found that comet 3I/ATLAS, which drew global scientific interest in 2025, is more than 10 billion years old and may preserve clues about the galaxy’s early history. The discovery comes from a study published in Nature Astronomy in late April. Rare Interstellar Visitor Passes Near Earth Researchers say the comet formed in a
Scientists say comet 3I/ATLAS may reveal how the galaxy formed Read More »
