McGill University researchers have revealed that changes in cloud cover are helping to slightly counteract global warming. While greenhouse gases continue to drive temperatures upward, a reduction in low-cloud cover over land has contributed to a small decrease in the amount of heat retained near the Earth's surface.

The Federal Aviation Administration has paused SpaceX's launch of its Starship rocket as the U.S. agency oversees an investigation by the private company of the breakup after a test launch Thursday.
The upper stage exploded minutes after launch from South Texas, leading the company to declare the uncrewed vessel a "loss" in the seventh test flight of the heavy-lift spacecraft.

Astrophysicists, led by researchers from Trinity College Dublin, have successfully captured detailed images of exocomet belts around 74 nearby stars, marking a significant step in understanding these distant systems. The images highlight light emitted from millimetre-sized pebbles within the belts, which range across a variety of stellar ages-from young stars still forming to more mature systems

The future of timekeeping is being reshaped by optical atomic clocks, which operate with laser frequencies roughly 100,000 times faster than the microwave frequencies of caesium clocks, the current standard for defining the second in the International System of Units (SI). Some of these optical clocks are already 100 times more accurate than caesium clocks and are poised to redefine the second.

In 1962, a no-nonsense test pilot with a gleaming bald head and steely determination strapped himself into a Mercury capsule and became the first American to orbit Earth. Now, 62 years later, another bald maverick with that same unwavering grit just launched a 322-foot rocket bearing Glenn's name straight into orbit - and did it on the first try.
