China prepares offshore test base for reusable liquid rocket launches
Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Jan 26, 2026
China is preparing to bring into operation its first offshore platform purpose built for testing, launching and recovering reusable liquid propellant rockets, with the goal of lowering access costs to orbit and expanding commercial launch capacity.
The new facility is located at the Oriental Aerospace Port in Haiyang in east China s Shandong province, currently the country s only dedicated

Icy cycles may have driven early protocell evolution
Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Jan 26, 2026
Modern cells rely on intricate molecular machinery and genetic programs to grow and divide, but the earliest protocells were likely simple lipid-bound compartments whose behavior depended mainly on their physical and chemical properties. A new experimental study suggests that subtle differences in membrane composition could have helped these primitive compartments grow, fuse, and hold on to gene

Metal rich winds detected in giant dusty cloud around distant star
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Jan 26, 2026
Sweeping winds of vaporized metals have been detected in a massive cloud of gas and dust that dimmed the light of a distant star for nearly nine months, offering a rare view of late stage planetary system evolution. Astronomers obtained the observations with the Gemini South telescope in Chile, one half of the International Gemini Observatory, which is partly funded by the U.S. National Science

Seismic networks offer new way to track space junk reentering atmosphere
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Jan 26, 2026
Space debris, the thousands of fragments of human made hardware abandoned in Earth orbit, can threaten people and infrastructure when it falls out of the sky and reaches the ground. Researchers at Johns Hopkins University and Imperial College London have now shown that existing networks of earthquake detecting seismometers can also detect and track falling space junk in near real time, offering

Solar Orbiter spots magnetic avalanches driving major solar flare
Paris, France (SPX) Jan 26, 2026
Just as avalanches on snowy mountains begin with the motion of a small amount of snow, Solar Orbiter has revealed that a powerful solar flare can start from initially weak magnetic disturbances that rapidly escalate into a large-scale eruption.
During a close approach to the Sun on 30 September 2024, the ESA-led Solar Orbiter spacecraft captured one of its most detailed views yet of a larg
