SpaceX on Wednesday launched 21 satellites from California for the U.S. military's Space Development Agency.
The Falcon 9 rocket lifted off at 4:06 p.m. PDT from Vandenberg Space Force Base's Pad 4E. About 8 1/2 minutes later, the first stage landed on the drone ship Of Course I Still Love You in the Pacific Ocean. This booster was used seven times previously, including the first Tranch

The rhythmic ticking of pulsars - neutron stars that beam radio pulses with atomic precision - could soon reveal subtle "beats" from gravitational waves passing through the galaxy. A new theoretical study by Hideki Asada and Shun Yamamoto of Hirosaki University suggests that ultra-low-frequency gravitational waves might create interference patterns detectable in pulsar timing array (PTA) observa

AI model sharpens solar forecasts to support satellite network stability
Wednesday, 15 October 2025 21:08
Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Oct 16, 2025
Accurate solar radiation forecasting is crucial for the stability of photovoltaic power systems, yet current models often blur as prediction time increases. Addressing this challenge, researchers led by Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology have unveiled an AI-based solution called GAN-Solar, designed to generate sharper, more reliable forecasts for solar energy management.

Charlottesville VA (SPX) Oct 16, 2025
Astronomers have detected "heavy water" in a planet-forming disk for the first time, uncovering compelling evidence that much of the water in our Solar System predates the Sun itself. The discovery provides new insight into how ancient interstellar ice survived the violent birth of stars and planetary systems.
