China Prepares Its First Asteroid Landing on Earth’s Quasi-Moon - Gizmodo
The Tianwen-2 probe will attempt to collect samples from Kamo’oalewa and bring them back to Earth.
Carl Sagan spent years trying to persuade NASA to take a picture many saw as scientifically pointless: Earth from more than 6 billion kilometres away, reduced to a pale blue dot smaller than a pixel. Voyager 1 finally captured it in 1990 — and that tiny speck be - Space Daily
In 1990, with its tour of the outer planets finished, Voyager 1 turned its camera back the way it had come and photographed the Earth from about six billion kilometres away. The planet came out as less than a single pixel, a pale fleck of light sitting in a b…
Earth’s inner core may have quietly reversed course: after decades of spinning slightly faster than the surface, seismic waves from repeating earthquakes show it slowed around 2010 and began drifting backward relative to the rest of the planet. - Space Daily
More than 5,000 kilometres beneath your feet, Earth’s solid inner core has spent the past few decades turning slightly faster than the planet wrapped around it. Seismic measurements suggest that around 2010 it slowed to match the surface, and has since fallen…
In January 2026, scientists reported that the human brain processes spoken language in a sequence that closely mirrors the layered architecture of advanced AI language models — suggesting that biological brains and artificial networks may build meaning th - Space Daily
In January 2026, researchers reported that the order in which the human brain makes sense of spoken language, from raw sound up to meaning, lines up closely with the layer-by-layer way large language models process text. The brain and the model, it seems, cli…
In Photos: ‘Strawberry Moon’ Lights Up Night Sky Around The World - Forbes
June’s strawberry moon rose worldwide on June 29 to become the first full moon of summer, the lowest-hanging of the year and the second-smallest.
In January 2025, the loudest gravitational wave ever recorded hid a second signal nobody knew how to read — and a decade after the first detection, it has just given physicists the spin rate of a black hole's event horizon - Space Daily
The signal arrived at LIGO on January 14, 2025. Two laser beams running down 4-kilometer vacuum tubes in Hanford, Washington and Livingston, Louisiana flickered by a distance roughly ten-thousandths the width of a proton, lasted a fraction of a second, and we…
