Webb identifies earliest supernova to date
Tuesday, 09 December 2025 15:00
The NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope has confirmed the source of a super-bright flash of light known as a gamma-ray burst, generated by an exploding massive star when the Universe was only 730 million years old. For the first time for such a remote event, the telescope provided a detection of the supernova’s host galaxy. Webb’s quick-turnaround observations verified data taken by telescopes around the world that had been following the gamma-ray burst since it onset, which occurred in mid-March.

Tuesday, 09 December 2025 13:00
It has become conventional wisdom that China’s rise is driven by a coordinated strategy across three fronts here on Earth: dominating critical industries, controlling critical resources and occupying strategically important locations.
The bacteria that wont wake up found in spacecraft cleanrooms
Tuesday, 09 December 2025 11:37
Researchers have characterized a bacterium from spacecraft assembly cleanrooms that can enter an extreme dormant state, allowing it to persist where contamination controls are designed to remove nearly all life. The study centers on Tersicoccus phoenicis, a microbe detected in high-grade cleanrooms used by NASA and the European Space Agency to prepare spacecraft hardware.
The team found th Lodestar Space wins SECP support to advance AI satellite awareness system
Tuesday, 09 December 2025 11:37
Lodestar Space has secured funding through the UK Space Agency's Space Ecosystem Commercialisation Programme, delivered by Space South Central, to accelerate work on its on-orbit sensing system Mithril.
The SECP Sprint R and D grant of GBP 30,000 will pay for integration and testing of a new LiDAR sensor within Mithril's existing on-orbit sensing suite. Mithril is described as a fully auto KATRIN experiment rules out favored light sterile neutrino region

Neutrinos are among the most abundant matter particles in the Universe, yet they interact so weakly that they are difficult to detect and study. The Standard Model includes three neutrino types, but their ability to oscillate between flavors shows they have mass and can change identity as they travel. For many years, anomalies in reactor and source experiments have pointed to the possible existe Sea based rocket net recovery platform enters service for Chinese reusable launchers
