Recent measurements recorded by NJIT's new network of radio telescopes show how a rare sequence of intense flares from Nov. 9 - 14, including an X5.1 event marking 2025's strongest flare so far, jolted the ionosphere - the plasma-filled atmospheric layer essential for radio signals, GPS accuracy and satellite orbits. The flares triggered R3 (strong) radio blackouts across Africa and Europe

The Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) has concluded nearly two decades of operation, closing a chapter in observational cosmology and initiating new directions for research. The ACT Collaboration has published three major papers in the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics (JCAP), detailing the sixth and final ACT data release, which significantly advances knowledge about the evolution

The outer planets of the Solar System are swarmed by ice-wrapped moons. Some of these, such as Saturn's moon Enceladus, are known to have oceans of liquid water between the ice shell and the rocky core and could be the best places in our solar system to look for extraterrestrial life. A new study published Nov. 24 in Nature Astronomy sheds light on what could be going on beneath the surface of t

The ESA and JAXA BepiColombo mission is entering its final year of approach to Mercury, on track to reach orbit in November 2026 after launching in October 2018. The dual-spacecraft mission has already completed one flyby of Earth, two of Venus, and six of Mercury, collecting solar activity and magnetosphere data en route. Throughout its cruise, BepiColombo measured planetary magnetic envi

China conducted an urgent unmanned spacecraft launch on Tuesday, after damage to a previous mission's return capsule left the crew on its space station without a means of getting back to Earth. The Long March-2F rocket carrying Shenzhou-22 lifted off shortly after midday from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre in northwest China, footage from state broadcaster CCTV showed. Recent Shenzh
