SpaceX launches 3 probes for NASA, NOAA to study space weather
Washington DC (UPI) Sep 24, 2025
SpaceX launched a trio of spacecraft Wednesday morning, each meant to study the sun and space weather, and their affects on Earth.
The Falcon 9 rocket launched from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida around 7:30 a.m. EDT.
The primary payload on the flight was NASA's Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe, also known as IMAP, Space.com reported.

New NASA Mission to Reveal Earth's Invisible 'Halo'
Greenbelt MD (SPX) Sep 25, 2025
A new NASA mission will capture images of Earth's invisible "halo," the faint light given off by our planet's outermost atmospheric layer, the exosphere, as it morphs and changes in response to the Sun. Understanding the physics of the exosphere is a key step toward forecasting dangerous conditions in near-Earth space, a requirement for protecting Artemis astronauts traveling through the region

Galaxies reveal hidden maps of dark matter in the early universe
New Brunswick NJ (SPX) Sep 25, 2025
A Rutgers-led team of scientists has uncovered evidence of how galaxies expand by tracing the invisible scaffolding of the universe created by a mysterious substance known as dark matter.
In a newly published study in Astrophysical Journal Letters, researchers used what they said are the largest-ever samples of special galaxies called Lyman-alpha emitters to study how galaxies clumped toge

Building a Lunar Network: Johnson Tests Wireless Technologies for the Moon
Houston TX (SPX) Sep 25, 2025
NASA engineers are strapping on backpacks loaded with radios, cameras, and antennas to test technology that might someday keep explorers connected on the lunar surface. Their mission: test how astronauts on the Moon will stay connected during Artemis spacewalks using 3GPP (LTE/4G and 5G) and Wi-Fi technologies.
"It's exciting to bring lunar spacewalks into the 21st century with the immersi

NASA's Tally of Planets Outside Our Solar System Reaches 6,000
Greenbelt MD (SPX) Sep 25, 2025
The milestone highlights the accelerating rate of discoveries, just over three decades since the first exoplanets were found.
The official number of exoplanets - planets outside our solar system - tracked by NASA has reached 6,000. Confirmed planets are added to the count on a rolling basis by scientists from around the world, so no single planet is considered the 6,000th entry. The number

NASA's Parker Solar Probe Sails Through 25th Sun Flyby
Baltimore MD (SPX) Sep 25, 2025
NASA's Parker Solar Probe completed its 25th close approach to the Sun on Sept. 15, matching its record distance of 3.8 million miles (6.2 million kilometers) from the solar surface.
Parker Solar Probe checked in with flight controllers at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland - where the spacecraft was also designed and built - on Sept. 18, transmitting a

Western researchers support international collaboration for planetary defence
London, Canada (SPX) Sep 25, 2025
A large international collaboration of nearly 100 researchers, led by Western adjunct professor Auriane Egal, has completed the first-ever comprehensive study of an asteroid tracked from space through to its impact on Earth. The analysis of asteroid 2023 CX1 represents a unique opportunity for both science and planetary defence.
The asteroid, quite ordinary by space rock standards, explode
