NASA scientists are closely tracking iceberg A-23A as vivid blue meltwater pools spread across its surface, signalling rapid decay. Once covering nearly 4,000 square kilometres, the Antarctic megaberg has shrunk to about 1,180 square kilometres and is fragmenting in warmer South Atlantic waters, offering valuable insight into how rising temperatures accelerate iceberg…NASA scientists are closely
A medical emergency aboard the International Space Station has highlighted how NASA protects astronaut health in orbit. With no doctors on the ISS, crews rely on extensive medical training, onboard equipment, and real-time telemedicine with flight surgeons on Earth. If needed, spacecraft such as Crew Dragon or Soyuz can quickly return astronauts home, ensuring rapid
Astronomers using the Vera C. Rubin Observatory have discovered asteroid 2025 MN45, the fastest-spinning large asteroid ever recorded. About 710 metres wide, the object completes one full rotation every 1.88 minutes—far quicker than any asteroid of similar size. The finding emerged from an early survey that detected nearly 2,000 new asteroids, including several rare…Astronomers using
Dark matter makes up most of the universe’s mass, yet it has never been directly detected. Scientists are now deploying ultracold quantum sensors, underground detectors and space telescopes to catch its faint signals. At Texas A&M, new silicon detectors aim to register extremely rare particle interactions, while global experiments push sensitivity limits. Together, …Dark matter
