The US West Coast is the world's worst mega-drying region.
A giant parachute built for the beleaguered European ExoMars mission has aced a drop test in the Arctic stratosphere.
NASA was to supply some critical technologies for the mission, which Europe may not be able to readily replace.
GPS positions were off by up to 230 feet during the Gannon Solar Storm in May 2024 in a disruption that lasted for up to two days, a new study has revealed.
Satellite streaks are a blight on astronomy. How much are observations by the Vera Rubin super telescope going to suffer from this contamination?
Light streaks caused by passing satellites mar images taken by the world's most expensive telescopes. The problem is set to get worse.
In-orbit servicing and refueling could help curb the environmental harm done by the space industry. But will operators subscribe to the greener business model? The jury is out.
Research into the impacts of rocket and satellite air pollution is being cut by the Trump administration. Experts say the cuts come at the worst time.
Scientists have found evidence of the most powerful storm in history, which hit Earth in 14,300 years ago. It would cause mayhem in today's technology-dependent world.
"Space weather impacts can have the same symptoms as a cyberattack, where systems will be brought down, or lockup, or transmit erroneous information."
Reference Roughly 80% of the mass of the universe is made up of dark matter, a material that scientists cannot directly observe. So why do scientists think it dominates?
A network of Cold War-era infrasound sensors can help scientists reconstruct trajectories of falling space objects.
