Earth’s orbit is “on track for a catastrophe.” That was the rather alarming prediction of the authors of a recent piece published in The Conversation.

Nearly 29 million people in Sudan are facing acute food shortages as the country’s civil war enters its third year, with millions of families reduced to eating a single meal per day and many going entire days without food, according to a joint report by five major international NGOs published on April 13. The report, […]

Artemis II completed a 10-day journey around the Moon, carrying humanity farther into space than it has gone in over 50 years.

ESA played a critical role in the mission’s success. The European Service Module powered and sustained Orion throughout the journey, providing propulsion, power, water and breathable air for the crew.

Mostly built with contributions from 13 ESA Member States—Germany, Italy, France, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Austria, the United Kingdom and Luxembourg—the module represents Europe’s strength in international cooperation.

Looking ahead, ESA will continue to deliver on its commitments to the Artemis programme while advancing

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.

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

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.

The post The quiet devastation of being the reliable one in every group you’ve ever belonged to, and how it slowly replaces your identity with a function appeared first on Space Daily.

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. 

A team of Japanese researchers has built an X-ray space telescope with remarkable precision, and they proved it works by launching it aboard a sounding rocket from Alaska in 2024. The telescope, developed through a collaboration between Nagoya University and Japan’s SPring-8 synchrotron radiation facility, flew aboard the FOXSI-4 sounding rocket in April 2024. It […]

When a compliment contradicts the internal narrative someone built their identity around, the praise doesn't feel undeserved — it feels threatening. Understanding why requires looking at self-concept inertia, fixed mindsets, and the survival stories we mistake for permanent truth.

The post The reason some people can’t accept compliments has nothing to do with modesty. It’s that praise contradicts the story they built their identity around. appeared first on Space Daily.
