After one year of ups and downs, politics, and anticipation, Jared Isaacman, entrepreneur and private astronaut, has been confirmed as the 15th NASA administrator. The Senate approved him by a vote of 67-30 on December 17, 2025, demonstrating collective admiration for the leadership skills he possesses, although concerns were raised about his close connection with…
Scientists record large marine predators thriving inside an active underwater volcano thought hostile to complex life/ Image: National Geographic Youtube In 2015, a scientific expedition to one of the most volatile underwater volcanoes on Earth produced a finding few researchers expected to see on their monitors: sharks swimming calmly inside the crater. The discovery was…
To study comet 3I/ATLAS, only the third interstellar object to be found passing through our solar system, NASA is going all out with a solar system wide observation campaign that is unheard of in nature. The comet that was first detected on July 1 by the NASA-funded ATLAS (Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System) telescope in…
La Niña came back to the equatorial Pacific after a short break when the El Niño Southern Oscillation neutral phase was detected in the middle of the year. The event is going to last from September 2025 to December and is considered a relatively weak one, so the question arises about the extent of its…
For years, asteroids have presented a picture of being very remote, lifeless bodies that float in space silently by themselves. However, with recent research, there is hope that certain asteroids may hold tremendous value for the world of economics and science. It has recently been suggested that smaller, carbon-rich asteroids could provide water, organic materials,…
The idea sounds dramatic, almost clickbait-level dramatic. Is Mars controlling Earth’s climate? It feels wrong on instinct. Climate change is something we argue about in terms of cars, coal, forests, and oceans, not dusty planets hanging millions of kilometres away. And yet, Earth is not floating alone in space. It is part of a system…
Astronomers eagerly wait for their best chance to see interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS approaching Earth on 19 December. Found on 1 July by NASA-funded ATLAS Telescopes in Chile, the icy comet was the third confirmed interstellar object that entered the solar system after 1I/’Oumuamua in 2017 and 2I/Borisov in 2019. Comet 3I/ATLAS will certainly be no…
The Winter Solstice is more than a date in the calendar. For over four millennia, this event marked an important turning point in the passage of nature, when winter officially begins in the Northern Hemisphere. For one day each year, it marked the moment when the power of light is weakest and when night is…
Scientists have identified an unusually thick rock layer deep beneath the Bermuda Triangle, revealing a geological feature unlike anything previously documented. The structure, measuring about 20 kilometres in thickness, lies below the oceanic crust and within the tectonic plate beneath Bermuda. The discovery, reported in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, is based on seismic analysis…
On December 16 in the early hours of the day, a United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V will carry 27 of Amazon’s Leo satellites into orbit in a bid to realise Amazon’s ambitious constellation initiative, which will see it establish a global satellite internet network. The launch will take place at Florida’s Cape Canaveral Space…
