A record-breaking radio burst from the Sun in August 2025 came from a structure in the Sun's atmosphere called a helmet stream. This image, taken during the total solar eclipse on August 21, 2017, shows the classic V-shape of a large helmet stream. Credit: Miloslav Druckmüller, Peter Aniol, Shadia Habbal/NASA Goddard, Joy Ng

NASA detected a solar radio burst that lasted 19 days

  • No comments
An unusual radio signal from the sun has lasted for 19 days, far beyond the normal duration of such bursts. NASA has linked the event to a giant magnetic structure in the sun's atmosphere, and it could help improve predictions

NASA is developing a new “brain” for spacecraft: an AI processor that will allow them to operate more independently

  • No comments
The new processor is designed to allow spacecraft to analyze information, respond to unexpected situations, and make certain decisions without waiting for instructions from Earth. According to NASA, initial tests indicate a leap in performance compared to computers

Astroscale: Spacecraft and satellite manufacturers should commit to a significant reduction in the number of abandoned objects in space

  • One response
Satellite manufacturers, spacecraft operators and the like need to make specific and verifiable commitments to limit the number of objects actually in space, not just the predicted number of abandoned objects they produce.
