Cosmic dust particles reveal snapshot of Earth's ancient air
Berlin, Germany (SPX) Jul 30, 2025
Scientists have found a new way to probe the composition of Earth's ancient atmosphere by studying fossilized cosmic dust. An international team led by the University of Gottingen, with collaborators from the Open University, University of Pisa, and Leibniz University Hannover, developed a technique to analyze micrometeorites - tiny metal-rich particles from space that have been preserved in Ear

Defense Department opts to not end satellite data for storm forecasts
Washington DC (UPI) Jul 31, 2025
The U.S. Defense Department won't end the dispersal of key satellite weather data on Friday as planned.
One month ago, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration published a notice about the change by the U.S. Navy, effective July 1. Then NOAA said the change would be delayed by one month until Thursday.
In an update posted Wednesday, the phase-out plans were pushed back

US, India launch powerful Earth-monitoring satellite
Washington (AFP) July 30, 2025
A formidable new radar satellite jointly developed by the United States and India launched Wednesday, designed to track subtle changes in Earth's land and ice surfaces and help predict both natural and human-caused hazards.
Dubbed NISAR (NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar), the pickup truck-sized spacecraft blasted off around 5:40 pm (1210 GMT) from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre on India's
