What's happening above your head right now? Satellites, asteroids, declassified military footage, space stations, and the objects nobody can explain — we cover it all.
Twelve billion years ago, a smaller galaxy wandered too close to our own. It never left. The dwarf galaxy astronomers now call LKH crossed some invisible gravitational threshold — and the Milky Way began pulling it apart…
Something landed in the Gobi Desert this morning. Almost nobody in the West noticed. A rocket lifted off from a launchpad in China's remote northwest. It reached orbit. Then its first stage — a towering column of metal, …
Waves are lapping on a shoreline 1.2 billion kilometres from Earth. Not poetically. Literally. Liquid is pooling in lakes, flowing through rivers, evaporating into clouds, and raining back down onto a surface we have alr…
Parts of the Moon are colder than Pluto. Right at the bottom of the lunar world — the south pole — there are craters so deep that sunlight hasn't touched their floors in two billion years . No warmth. No light. Just anci…
It started with a stunt nobody had ever tried. August 6, 2012. Gale Crater, Mars. A spacecraft entered the Martian atmosphere at 5.8 kilometres per second. It deployed a parachute. Then, with three kilometres still to go…
A satellite Russia is building can see through storm clouds. It works at night. It can track a warship through fog, map a military convoy hidden under tree cover, and detect freshly dug trenches from 500 kilometres up. T…
The company that builds the sensors inside America's most classified spy satellites just fired its CEO. The board's official reason? Unspecified conduct. That's it. No press conference. No elaboration. Just: he's out — a…
Right now, there are villages in the Amazon basin where a sick child's parents cannot call an ambulance. There are fishermen in the South China Sea who haven't spoken to their families in weeks. There are hikers in Patag…
The Universe Is Mostly Nothing We Can See Look at your hand. Every atom in it — every proton, neutron, electron — makes up less than 5% of the universe. The rest? Invisible. Undetectable. And almost certainly passing str…
Three private companies just received Pentagon study contracts to learn how to grab a satellite out of orbit . The official framing is tidy: Firefly Aerospace, D-Orbit, and Katalyst Space Technologies will compete to sho…
The moment everything changed Since 2022, every iPhone has contained a satellite radio most owners have never activated. It exists for one moment — the moment nothing else works. No cell signal. No Wi-Fi. No roads. No ot…
Sixty-eight years ago, a factory in the Russian city of Samara began building rockets. It never stopped. Yesterday, Ukrainian cruise missiles found it. The target was the Progress Space Rocket Centre — the beating heart …
Hidden in Plain Signal Japan launched a satellite on August 10th. It went up clean, separated perfectly, and took its position 35,786 kilometres above the Pacific. Its official purpose: give your phone centimetre-level p…
The Initials Are Still There Eugene Cernan knelt in the lunar dust on December 14, 1972. Before climbing into the lunar module for the last time, he scratched his daughter's initials into the surface — T-D-C . He told th…
Eighty kilometres above your head, in the coldest place on Earth, something that shouldn't exist is glowing electric blue. Not auroras. Not lightning. Not satellites. Clouds. The highest clouds on Earth — drifting at the…
Move away from fire and you get colder. That's basic physics. The Sun disagrees. The surface of the Sun sits at around 5,500°C. Hot enough to vaporise iron in seconds. But the atmosphere just above it — the corona — reac…
The Strangest Object in the Known Universe Is a Star Not a black hole. Not a neutron star spinning 700 times per second. Not a gamma-ray burst. Just a star — sitting quietly in the constellation Cygnus, 1,470 light-years…
The most powerful explosions in the universe are over before you can blink Right now, somewhere billions of light-years across the cosmos, something just detonated a burst of radio energy so intense it briefly outshone e…
There are roughly 560 active satellites sitting perfectly still above Earth right now. Not moving. Not drifting. Perfectly still. They hover at 35,786 kilometres up — moving at exactly the speed Earth rotates, frozen abo…
Two weeks ago, a US general stood before America's defense industry and made a request the Pentagon would never have spoken out loud a decade ago. Not for missiles. Not for submarines. For weapons designed to blind enemy…
A dark red object tumbled past the Sun at 87 kilometres per second. No engine. No comet tail. No exhaust plume. And as it left our solar system — it accelerated . We had eleven days to figure out what it was. We still do…
Something Is Leaking Enceladus is 504 kilometres across. You could drive across it in about six hours. It orbits Saturn nearly 1.3 billion kilometres from the Sun, in a zone so cold that water freezes solid and stays tha…
The numbers shouldn't line up this neatly. They almost never do. The Sun is roughly 1.4 million kilometres across. The Moon is a pebble by comparison — 3,474 km wide. The Sun is 400 times larger than the Moon. And yet, b…
The night a scientist grabbed a red pen and changed everything — for exactly 72 seconds It was August 15, 1977. An astronomer named Jerry Ehman was going through a stack of printout paper from Ohio State University's Big…
