NASA Spacewalk 2026: What the Body Endures During 6 Hours Outside the ISS
NASA's third spacewalk of 2026, scheduled June 30, puts astronauts through a half-day physiological gauntlet before they even step outside — from hours of pure-oxygen pre-breathing to radiation exposure and grip forces severe enough to delaminate fingernails.
JAXA’s Hayabusa2 Skimmed Asteroid Torifune at 800m to Test Deflection
Japan's fridge-sized Hayabusa2 probe skimmed to within 800 metres of near-Earth asteroid Torifune in one of the closest asteroid flybys ever attempted, collecting physical data JAXA says is essential for turning theoretical deflection models into operational planetary defence plans.
Quantum Sensors in Orbit: Infleqtion’s Space Initiative to Replace GPS
Infleqtion has launched America's Quantum Space Initiative, deploying quantum sensing hardware aboard the ISS where microgravity enables measurement precision physically impossible on the ground — and positioning the technology as a resilient alternative to GPS.
James Webb Found a Molecule in Space That Defied Astrochemistry Models
The James Webb Space Telescope has detected a theoretically predicted molecule in a star-forming region 400 light-years away that was never before observed in any astrophysical environment. The find challenges existing astrochemical models and could reshape understanding of how planets — and life — get their chemical building blocks.
17-Million-Year-Old Ape Fossil in Egypt Upends Africa’s Human Origins Story
Jawbone fragments and teeth from northern Egypt belonging to a previously unknown ape species called Masripithecus are forcing scientists to rethink whether East Africa was truly the singular birthplace of the lineages closest to modern apes and humans.
NASA JPL’s 3D-Printed Titanium Lattice Built to Absorb Mars Capsule’s 110 mph
NASA JPL has developed a 3D-printed titanium lattice structure — built via powder bed fusion — to absorb the Earth Entry Vehicle's violent, parachute-free 110 mph landing and protect sealed Mars rock samples from destruction.Load More
