Japan Prepares to Launch Historic Spacecraft to Collect Samples From a Martian Moon: What the MMX Mission Could Reveal About Mars

Japan is preparing for one of the most ambitious planetary science missions ever attempted. On October 20, 2026, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) is scheduled to launch its Martian Moons eXploration spacecraft, known as MMX, on a journey to Phobos, one of Mars's two small moons. The spacecraft is designed to study both Phobos and Deimos, land on Phobos, collect samples of its surface…

Antarctica’s Sea Ice Takes a Dramatic Turn: 2026 Winter Peak Ranks Third Lowest on Record

Antarctica’s sea ice has undergone a striking reversal over the past decade. After decades when winter ice around the continent generally expanded slightly, the trend changed sharply after 2015. In 2026, Antarctic sea ice reached its annual winter maximum on September 14, covering approximately 17.59 million square kilometres, or 6.79 million square miles. That was the third-lowest winter maximum…

NASA Satellite Reveals Australia’s Giant Spider-Shaped Crater, a Window Into Earth’s Ancient Past

A striking satellite image of Western Australia’s Spider Crater is drawing attention for a remarkable reason: its rugged ridges resemble a giant spider sprawled across the landscape. The formation lies in the remote Kimberley region and is not a recent scar. It is the deeply eroded remnant of an ancient impact structure, shaped by a collision with a space rock hundreds of millions of years ago an…

Astronomers Report a ‘Green Star’ Cosmic Zombie Ahead of Halloween

A striking astronomy report has captured attention with the description of a possible “green star” and a “cosmic zombie” discovered just in time for Halloween. The language is evocative, but the scientific story behind it is about how astronomers classify unusual objects and investigate the remnants of stars that have reached the end of their normal lives. Stars do not all finish their lives in t…

Bengaluru Scientists Decode Solar Eruptions Using Aditya-L1 and Proba-3 Satellites

Scientists in Bengaluru are using observations from India’s Aditya-L1 mission and the European Space Agency’s Proba-3 mission to improve understanding of solar eruptions, the powerful events that can send vast amounts of charged particles and magnetic fields into space. The work highlights the value of coordinated space-based observations for studying how eruptions develop and travel away from th…
