Scottish Power is set to invest £1.5 billion to repower the Whitelee Windfarm in Scotland, replacing 215 existing turbines with 124 larger models. The project, expected to run from 2030 to 2035, will nearly double the site’s capacity to approximately 1 gigawatt, enough to power roughly 650,000 homes. Repowering the UK’s Largest Onshore Wind Farm … Read more

Mission Objectives and Speed The spacecraft would strike its target at speeds exceeding 9 kilometers per second (about 26 times the speed of sound), surpassing NASA’s 2022 Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission, which impacted a target at 6.1 km/s. The goal is to directly alter the asteroid’s orbit relative to Earth, potentially breaking its … Read more

NASA reports a 48% visible Moon on July 21 As of Tuesday, July 21, NASA’s Daily Moon Guide tracker reports that the Moon is in its First Quarter phase, with 48% of its surface visible. This follows the July 20 commemoration of International Moon Day, an event held annually to celebrate the role the Moon … Read more

Professor Ginestra Bianconi Proposes Gravity from Entropy A new theoretical framework, Gravity from Entropy (GfE), proposes that gravity emerges from informational mismatches in spacetime. Published July 16, 2026, in Physical Review D, the research by Queen Mary University of London mathematician Professor Ginestra Bianconi suggests this model could resolve the long-standing conflict between the second … Read more

Researchers have identified the object that caused the mass extinction 66 million years ago as a rare CO carbonaceous chondrite. Using precise nickel isotope analysis, the team determined the asteroid was an unusual, pristine projectile that likely triggered global catastrophe through fine debris rather than sulfur, as reported in Science Advances. Identifying the Chicxulub Impactor … Read more

The Spanish central government has instructed the Castilla y León region to prepare for an influx of up to 2 million visitors for the solar eclipse on Aug. 12, 2026. As the celestial event approaches, authorities are working to establish official viewing locations capable of accommodating significant crowds and vehicles along the path of totality. … Read more

On March 31, 2025, the all-civilian crew of the Fram2 mission successfully captured the first diagnostic radiographs ever produced in space. Flying aboard the SpaceX Crew Dragon Resilience, the four-person crew utilized a commercial off-the-shelf, wireless radiography system to image their own bodies and a piece of mission hardware, marking a significant milestone for the … Read more

Scientists Reveal Kinesin-1 Activation Mechanism Researchers have uncovered the structural mechanics behind how the motor protein kinesin-1 is activated within nerve cells. The findings, published July 15 in Science Advances, provide a detailed look at how cells regulate this protein to transport essential cargo, such as neurotransmitters, along microtubule tracks.

Recent observations from the International Space Station have provided a unique vantage point of the Himalayan mountain range, highlighting the massive, slow-moving rivers of glacial ice that carve through the landscape. Captured by NASA astronaut Jessica Meir from 259 miles above Earth, these images offer a perspective of the mountains—which span 1,500 miles across five … Read more

NASA has selected 41 technology proposals from 37 American companies to accelerate the development of critical capabilities for future exploration of the Moon and Mars. These selections were made under the agency’s 2025 Announcement of Collaboration Opportunity (ACO), a program designed to foster innovation in space transportation, planetary surface operations, and long-term infrastructure. The initiative … Read more

SpaceX reached a significant operational milestone this week, completing its 600th launch of a flight-proven Falcon 9 booster. The landmark achievement occurred during a rapid-fire sequence of two Starlink missions that lifted off less than eight hours apart between Monday and Tuesday, July 13 and July 14, 2026. Dual Launches Mark Operational Milestone The first … Read more

This “innermost inner core,” hidden within the planet’s solid inner core, exhibits unique crystal alignment, offering new evidence for geologists studying the planet’s deepest, unreachable layers. Decoding Earth’s Deepest Interior For a century, the standard model of Earth was taught as four distinct layers: the crust, the mantle, the liquid outer core, and the solid … Read more
