Swift Space Telescope Reentry: NASA’s Rescue Race

NASA estimates a 50 percent chance the Swift space telescope falls uncontrollably by June 2026, so the agency has contracted Arizona startup Katalyst Space Technologies to attempt the first-ever robotic rescue of an unprepared satellite. Losing Swift would sever a two-decade-old gamma-ray burst alert system with no replacement in sight. Asher John - June 16, 2026

Aldosterone Drives CKD Progression Beyond Blood Pressure

NASA X-59 Reaches Mach 1.4, Taming the Sonic Boom

NASA's X-59 validated its precision flight profile at Mach 1.4 and 55,000 feet across two June 2025 test flights — the exact conditions required to generate acoustic data that could rewrite a 50-year FAA ban on overland commercial supersonic flight. Will Lewis - June 16, 2026

Dark Stars: Webb May Have Found Stars With Black Holes

James Webb Space Telescope has spotted enigmatic 'little red dots' that scientists propose could be dark stars — hypothetical objects fueled by dark matter annihilation rather than nuclear fusion, potentially harboring black holes at their cores. James Loftus - June 16, 2026
