In a groundbreaking move for aerospace engineering, SpaceX launched the ninth integrated test flight of its Starship Super Heavy system from Starbase in South Texas on Tuesday evening. Unlike previous missions aimed at precision landings, this flight intentionally ended in a powerful splashdown. The goal was to gather critical data on the rocket’s structural limits…

A massive asteroid named 2025 JR is drawing global attention as it speeds toward Earth for a close encounter. Roughly the size of a 25-storey building, the space rock is set to make its nearest approach on Wednesday, May 28. While it will safely bypass Earth at a distance of 4.6 million kilometers, that proximity…

1000 foot Tsunami warning A newly published study from scientists at Virginia Tech has revealed a sobering scenario that could unfold across the Pacific Northwest. According to their findings, coastal regions in Northern California, Oregon, and Washington face a significant threat of catastrophic flooding and mega-tsunamis—potentially reaching up to 1,000 feet high—due to the combined…

A recent celestial display left both Earthbound viewers and astronauts aboard the International Space Station in awe, as the Northern Lights lit up the skies over parts of the United States and Canada according to the ET reports. Captured by NASA astronaut Nichole Ayers, the aurora appeared unexpectedly while she was photographing severe storms on…

In a breakthrough that blurs the line between science fiction and reality, Chinese scientists have unveiled a powerful laser-based imaging system capable of reading text as small as one millimetre, smaller than a grain of rice, from nearly 1.4 kilometres (about a mile) away. Using a technique called active intensity interferometry, the system overcomes common…

In a groundbreaking discovery, scientists from Rice University have found a type of bacteria that can survive by releasing electricity instead of relying on oxygen. These microorganisms use a natural process to transfer electrons outside their cells, enabling them to generate energy in oxygen-free environments such as deep-sea vents or the human gut. The finding…

This is an AI-generated image, used for representational purposes only. Scientists have developed futuristic contact lenses that enable humans to see in the dark using infrared light, without the need for bulky goggles or external power sources. The breakthrough, published in Cell on May 22, uses nanoparticle-infused lenses to convert invisible near-infrared wavelengths into visible…

Southern California residents were left alarmed on Saturday evening after hearing a powerful sonic boom caused by the re-entry of the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft. The noise, described by many as a loud boom accompanied by a rattling sensation, occurred as the uncrewed capsule returned from the International Space Station (ISS), carrying over 6,700 pounds of…

This is an AI-generated image, used for representational purposes only. In an unexpected discovery, scientists have found that penguin droppings or guano may be helping cool Antarctica by triggering cloud formation that reflects sunlight away from Earth. The new study, published in Communications Earth & Environment, shows that ammonia released from penguin colonies significantly boosts…
