ESA astronaut Sophie Adenot and NASA astronauts Jack Hathaway, Jessica Meir and Chris Williams take a moment to capture the occasion as they first open the Cygnus NG‑24 cargo spacecraft after its installation on the International Space Station. 

“I love these moments when the whole crew comes together around an event like this. Welcoming a cargo vehicle is such a special experience: you know you’ll be receiving care packages from teams and families, along with a wealth of scientific experiments – and maybe even some fresh fruit too,” says Sophie Adenot. 

Cygnus NG‑24 is delivering around five metric tonnes of scientific experiments, spare parts and supplies to the Station,

Aethero is preparing to deploy its most powerful computing payload yet this fall, aiming to bring data center-style processing to orbit and expand the scale of AI workloads that can be handled in space.

DESI’s complete galaxy map suggests dark energy may be weakening, contradicting 25 years of cosmological assumptions. If the signal holds up in the full five-year dataset now in hand, it would represent the most significant discovery in cosmology since dark energy itself was identified in the late 1990s — and force a fundamental rewrite of […]

There’s a specific kind of person whose story I’ve heard enough times now that I could almost finish it before they start telling it. They grew up in a home that was fine on the surface. Food on the table. Nobody hit anyone. The basics were covered. But affection was thin, or absent, or performed […]
