ESA Expands Space Safety Fleet to Protect Earth and Enable Sustainable Space Operations
Friday, 31 October 2025 01:25
ESA's Space Safety Programme advances initiatives to detect, predict, and counter space hazards - including threats from asteroids, solar storms, and space debris. The program develops missions and technologies that support rapid identification and mitigation of risks affecting satellites, astronauts, and terrestrial infrastructure.
At the upcoming 2025 Ministerial Conference, ESA proposes Climate report: Earth on dangerous path but rapid action can avert the worst outcomes
Friday, 31 October 2025 01:25
2024 was the hottest year on record and likely the hottest in at least 125,000 years, according to an annual report issued by an international coalition led by Oregon State University scientists.
"Without effective strategies, we will rapidly encounter escalating risks that threaten to overwhelm systems of peace, governance, and public and ecosystem health," said co-lead author William Rip Halloween fireballs could signal increased risk of cosmic impact or airburst in 2032 and 2036

Every year, the Taurid meteor shower lights up the night sky from late October through early November. Sometimes called the "Halloween fireballs", they are named for the constellation Taurus-the bull-from which the meteors appear to radiate, the shower is best viewed from dark-sky locations. In New Mexico, where wide-open spaces and low light pollution offer some of the clearest skies in the cou Supersolid state synchronizes under rotation unlocking quantum vortex behavior
Friday, 31 October 2025 01:25
A supersolid is an unusual state of matter showing both crystal rigidity and frictionless flow, a paradox realized only in recent years within dipolar quantum gases. Researchers at the University of Innsbruck, led by Francesca Ferlaino, investigated how the solid and superfluid features of a supersolid behave when rotated. Using precisely controlled magnetic fields, the team induced rotation in China accelerates crewed lunar mission with commercial partnerships and testing milestones
Friday, 31 October 2025 01:25
China is integrating commercial competition into its manned lunar exploration program to hasten development. The agency has adopted competitive models for the crewed lunar rover, lunar surface remote-sensing satellites, and low-cost cargo transport systems for the space station. Contracts have been awarded through competitive selection, and development is in progress. The scale and share of comm Consciousness debate intensifies as scientists urge clarity while AI and robotics advance
Friday, 31 October 2025 01:25
Scientists warn that as artificial intelligence and neurotechnology accelerate in development, the need to understand consciousness has now become a scientific and ethical priority. In a major review published in Frontiers in Science, researchers argue that advances in these fields are outpacing our grasp of consciousness, which could have profound consequences on AI deployment, robotics, law, m SpaceX defends Starship lunar lander as it works on ‘simplified’ approach
