Rare gigantic jet captured from ISS by NASA astronaut
Thursday, 21 August 2025 06:22
NASA astronaut Nichole Ayers photographed a rare gigantic jet on July 3, 2025, while aboard the International Space Station. Initially thought to be a sprite, analysis confirmed it was an even rarer Transient Luminous Event (TLE).
"Gigantic jets are a powerful type of electrical discharge that extends from the top of a thunderstorm into the upper atmosphere," explained Dr. Burcu Kosar, Pri CO2 increase to reshape geomagnetic storm impacts on satellites
Thursday, 21 August 2025 06:22
Rising carbon dioxide levels in Earths upper atmosphere will alter how geomagnetic storms influence satellite operations, according to new research from the U.S. National Science Foundation National Center for Atmospheric Research (NSF NCAR), with implications for thousands of spacecraft that depend on stable orbital conditions.

Thursday, 21 August 2025 06:22
The complex and turbulent Galactic Center has long challenged astronomers attempting to model its underlying physics. Now, new measurements of the magnetic field in Sagittarius C, a region within the Central Molecular Zone of the Milky Way, are offering unprecedented insight into the interplay between dense clouds, massive star formation, and magnetic structures.
Sagittarius C is known for China accelerates space computing as Geovis and Sugon map an orbital data network
Thursday, 21 August 2025 06:22
China is accelerating investment in the emerging space information, or space computing, sector that it frames as a future trillion-yuan growth engine, with leading firms joining to process satellite and aerial data in orbit rather than entirely on the ground.
Geovis Technology Co Ltd recently signed a framework agreement with supercomputer maker Sugon to co-develop an open and inclusive sp US Space Force launches first reprogrammable navigation satellite from L3Harris
Thursday, 21 August 2025 06:22
The US Space Force has placed the L3Harris-built Navigation Technology Satellite-3 (NTS-3) into orbit aboard a United Launch Alliance Vulcan rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. NTS-3 is the Department of Defense's first experimental navigation satellite in almost five decades, and the first fully reprogrammable Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) spacecraft designed to operate i First-of-its-kind supernova reveals innerworkings of a dying star
Thursday, 21 August 2025 02:25
An international team of scientists, led by Northwestern University astrophysicists, has detected a never-before-seen type of exploding star, or supernova, that is rich with silicon, sulfur and argon.
When massive stars explode, astrophysicists typically find strong signatures of light elements, such as hydrogen and helium. But the newly discovered supernova, dubbed SN2021yfj, displayed a Astronomers capture a record 130-year evolution of a dying star
Thursday, 21 August 2025 02:25
For the first time, scientists have directly tracked the slow transformation of a dying star over more than a century - revealing it is heating up faster than any other typical star ever observed.
The research, published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, tracks 130 years of changes in the "spirograph" Planetary Nebula IC418 - a glowing shell of gas and dust cast off by a dying star abo
