NASA has developed a powerful life-saving device that can detect even the tiniest human movement beneath rubble or snow after a disaster. The technology, known as FINDER (Finding Individuals for Disaster and Emergency Response), uses advanced microwave radar sensors to sense a trapped person’s heartbeat or breathing—even if they’re buried under concrete or debris. It […]

Trump’s $1B Mars plan taps private companies for bold space push
US President Donald Trump’s 2026 budget proposal includes a $1 billion plan to accelerate Mars exploration—this time, led by private companies. The initiative, called the Commercial Mars Payload Services Program (CMPS), aims to shift more responsibility for deep space missions from NASA to firms like SpaceX and others. It includes funding for new contracts focused […]
World’s largest iceberg melting rapidly, NASA warns
The world’s largest iceberg, known as A-23A, is shrinking fast, according to new satellite images shared by NASA. Between March 3 and 6, it lost over 360 square kilometers of ice — a worrying sign of rapid melting. This massive iceberg originally broke off from Antarctica’s coast in 1986. It remained stuck in the Weddell […]
NASA heroes return: Butch and Suni land safely after nine months in space
NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams have safely returned to Earth after an extended nine-month mission aboard the ISS. Their SpaceX capsule re-entered the atmosphere, deployed parachutes, and splashed down off Florida’s coast. A pod of dolphins surrounded the capsule as the recovery team helped the astronauts exit, alongside NASA’s Nick Hague and cosmonaut […]

Trump jokes about stranded NASA astronauts ahead of their return
Former President Donald Trump joked about two NASA astronauts stranded at the International Space Station. Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams were supposed to return in June 2024 but remain stuck due to spacecraft delays. Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump said, “They’ve been left up there—I hope they like each other, maybe […]
Strong solar flare erupts from sun
The Sun emitted a strong solar flare, peaking at 1:09 p.m. EDT on June 20, 2023. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, which watches the Sun constantly, captured an image of the event. Solar flares are powerful bursts of energy. Flares and solar eruptions can impact high-frequency (HF) radio communications, electric power grids, navigation signals, and pose […]

NASA’s Orion capsule barreled through Earth’s atmosphere and splashed down in the Pacific Ocean on Sunday after making an uncrewed voyage around the moon, winding up the inaugural mission of the US agency’s new Artemis lunar program 50 years to the day after Apollo’s final moon landing. The gumdrop-shaped Orion capsule, carrying a simulated crew […]
New NASA tool helps detect ‘super-emitters’ of methane from space
NASA scientists, using a tool designed to study how dust affects climate, have identified more than 50 spots around the world emitting major levels of methane, a development that could help combat the potent greenhouse gas. “Reining in methane emissions is key to limiting global warming,” NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said in a press release […]
