Blue Origin’s New Glenn explodes on its launchpad at Cape Canaveral. Credit: @JConcilus via AP During an evening test fire on May 28, 2026, a Blue Origin New Glenn rocket exploded, engulfing the launchpad in a massive fireball. The spectacular fire, caught on video, not only destroyed the rocket but also appears to have significantly…
Two NASA astronauts gave a robotic arm a hand up — or rather, a replacement wrist joint — during a successful spacewalk outside the International Space Station on Tuesday (June 30). Chris Williams and Jessica Meir, both flight engineers on the station’s Expedition 74 crew, spent seven hours and 20 minutes repairing the Canadarm2 remote…
The sun is the most critical star in our solar system, and studying it is essential to understanding various solar phenomena, including solar flares, coronal mass ejections, and sunspots. Over the years, several space missions have been launched to study the sun and help us learn more about its behavior, characteristics, and impact on Earth and other…
Terrae Novae is ESA’s exploration programme. Terrae Novae is not only literally about exploring new worlds, but by describing the limitless opportunities for discovery, economic growth and inspiration it also expresses our ambitions for Europe’s future innovators, scientists and explorers. This video shows the many exploration activities ESA is conducting or has planned in our…

In this illustration, two neutron stars are beginning to merge, blasting a jet of high-speed particles and producing a cloud of debris. Among the debris are “r-process” elements, such as radioactive plutonium-244. The amount of this element in Earth’s oceanic crust suggests such an event occurred near Earth more than 100 million years ago.A. Simonnet…
