Elon Musk’s rocket company is clearing out its “gravel, tractors and space junk” from a once-pristine plot of South Texas land.

Air pollution regulations are meant to protect public health, but new evidence shows they also carry an unexpected cost: higher interest rates on the bonds counties issue to fund schools, hospitals, and infrastructure. When a county falls out of compliance…

Our team detected glowing nickel vapor in the gas surrounding the incoming interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS at an extraordinary distance from the sun, where temperatures remain far too cold for metals to normally vaporize.

From viral shots of Tiangong to a new deal with Astroscale, HEO Robotics is pioneering satellite-to-satellite imagery in orbit and even plans to expand beyond Earth.

Two Sydney PhD students have pulled off a remarkable space science feat from Earth—using AI-driven software to correct image blurring in NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. Their innovation, called AMIGO, fixed distortions in the telescope’s infrared camera, restoring its ultra-sharp…

With the Argonaut lunar lander and the LUNA simulation facility in Germany, the European Space Agency is building the technology and training to have life on the moon.

Researchers have directly observed torsional Alfvén waves twisting through the Sun’s corona — magnetic waves first predicted over 80 years ago. Captured using the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope, these motions could explain why the corona is millions of degrees…

The amount of bandwidth provided by SpaceX’s Starlink satellites is limiting Ukraine’s ability to operate ground robots on the frontline of the nation’s war against Russia.

The special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) system, already known to be in deep trouble, now faces “a worsening crisis” which, say experts, puts the UK on the brink of a national emergency.

GLP-1 drugs, originally developed for diabetes and obesity, may also curb addictive behaviors by acting on reward circuits in the brain. Early trials show reductions in alcohol intake, opioid seeking, and nicotine use. Though more research is needed, scientists believe…
