NASA Study Confirms Solar Storms Prematurely Ended Starlink Satellite's Lifespan
A recent study, backed by NASA, reveals that solar storms are causing Starlink satellites to reenter Earth's atmosphere much faster than anticipated. Analysing data from hundreds of Starlink deorbit events between 2020 and 2024, researchers found that heightened geomagnetic activity drastically increases atmospheric drag, leading to quicker orbital...

AI Reveals Mars’s Mysterious Slope Streaks Likely Formed by Dust, Not Water Activity
An AI-based study has found that Mars’s mysterious dark slope streaks are likely formed by dust and wind, not flowing water as long believed. Based on an analysis of over 86,000 satellite images, the findings challenge past theories and may help scientists focus future Mars missions on more promising areas in the search for ancient life.

Seismic Mystery Solved: NASA’s SWOT Satellite Detects Greenland Mega-Tsunamis
In September 2023, a global seismic mystery puzzled scientists for nine days. New research now confirms it was caused by two mega-tsunamis triggered by landslides in East Greenland. The waves became trapped in a fjord, forming seiches that shook the Earth. Using cutting-edge data from NASA’s SWOT satellite, scientists detected these hidden waves ...

NASA’s IMAP Spacecraft Gears Up for Mission to Explore Solar System’s Edge
NASA’s Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) has begun final preparations at Kennedy Space Center for a launch no earlier than September 2025. The mission will position IMAP at Lagrange Point 1, a million miles from Earth, to study the solar wind and the edge of the heliosphere. The spacecraft, built by Johns Hopkins APL, will fly al...

NASA’s SWOT Satellite Reveals Big Impact of Small Ocean Currents and Waves in n Marine Ecosystems
NASA’s SWOT satellite, in collaboration with CNES, reveals how submesoscale ocean features just a mile wide drive vital vertical circulation. These small currents transport heat, carbon, and nutrients, profoundly influencing marine ecosystems and climate systems. The mission’s high-resolution data is reshaping how scientists model ocean-atmosph...

NASA Satellite Detects Tree Leaf Changes as Early Volcano Eruption Warning Signal
NASA and Smithsonian scientists find that greener trees seen in satellite images may warn of upcoming volcanic eruptions. The change is linked to rising carbon dioxide emissions from magma, which trees absorb and display through greener leaves. This method could enhance early warning systems and improve public safety near active volcanoes.

New Study Reveals Recent Ice Gains in Antarctica, But Long-Term Melting Continues
A study led by researchers at Tongji University using NASA's GRACE satellites has observed recent ice gains in Antarctica from 2021 to 2023, mainly due to unusual precipitation. However, the long-term satellite data from 2002 to 2020 shows a significant and accelerating trend of ice loss. However, experts emphasize this short-term gain does not rev...

NASA Solves Black Hole Jet X-ray Mystery with IXPE’s Polarization Powers
NASA’s IXPE satellite may have solved a longstanding astrophysical mystery: how are X-rays produced in the extreme jets of supermassive black holes? By observing the blazar BL Lacertae, IXPE recorded low X-ray polarization versus very high optical polarization—confirming Compton scattering as the likely mechanism. This breakthrough supports the...

NASA Spots Plankton Swarms from Space to Help Save North Atlantic Right Whales
North Atlantic Right Whales are one of the world’s most endangered mammals. They face threats from fishing gear entanglement and ship collisions. Scientists are now using NASA satellite data to track the whales’ key food source, the red coloured plankton Calanus finmarchicus, in the Gulf of Maine. By identifying swarms of this copepod via its n...

NASA's TRACERS Mission Rescheduled for 2025 to Explore Solar Wind and Earth's Magnetic Field
NASA has delayed its TRACERS mission to no earlier than 2025 to provide additional preparation time for the crew. The mission will send twin satellites to explore how solar wind interacts with Earth's magnetosphere, particularly through a process called magnetic reconnection. These high-speed solar particles can trigger auroras and impact satellite...

ISRO Sets June 2025 Launch for Joint NASA-ISRO NISAR Satellite After Delays
NISAR, the joint NASA-ISRO satellite mission, is set to launch in June 2025 after resolving technical issues. It will monitor Earth's surface with advanced radar imaging. The NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) mission is finally nearing liftoff after overcoming delays caused by overheating concerns in its 12-meter radar antenna. Now sched...
