The conventional wisdom about the Voyager program is that it represents a triumphant past: two spacecraft launched in 1977, a grand tour of the outer planets, a golden record, and

ESA’s Proba-3 mission has reportedly delivered its first scientific results, and the data has caught solar physicists off guard. The twin-satellite formation, designed to create artificial solar eclipses in orbit, measured solar wind speeds in the sun’s inner corona that were significantly faster than models predicted. The finding, announced by ESA, marks the first scientific […]

When reliability becomes identity, the person underneath slowly disappears. Research on caregivers, astronaut crews, and isolation psychology reveals how being the dependable one in every group replaces who you are with what you provide.

On April 13, 2026, President Donald Trump launched a blistering public attack on Pope Leo XIV, accusing the pontiff of meddling in geopolitics and being “terrible for foreign policy” after the Pope condemned U.S. military threats and called for a return to negotiations over the escalating conflict in the Middle East. The clash between the […]

Since July 2025, the European Space Agency’s pair of Proba-3 satellites has already created 57 artificial solar eclipses. So far, the mission has collected more than 250 hours of high-resolution videos of the Sun’s atmosphere, called the corona. That’s the same amount of observing time as about 5000 total solar eclipse campaigns carried out on Earth.  

But the science is even more exciting. For the first time we can carefully track how material from the Sun moves through the inner corona, where space weather is born. The first results, recently published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, show that solar wind structures in the inner corona can travel three to four times faster than scientists thought. 

The chairman of the Senate appropriations subcommittee that funds NASA says he opposes proposed cuts to part of NASA’s budget and will seek to fund the agency at 2026 levels.

Lebanon is negotiating a war it cannot control, started by others, while its people die. That is the core reality beneath every military update, every diplomatic communiqué, and every strike report emerging from the country’s south. Israeli military operations in southern Lebanon have escalated sharply, with new strikes hitting multiple towns across the region. Israeli […]
