Robotic mission aims to lift NASA’s Swift Observatory

NASA prepares rescue mission for Swift NASA is preparing a $30 million robotic mission to prevent the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory from re-entering Earth’s atmosphere after two decades of service in space. The agency has described the effort as a race against time and gravity, as the aging telescope continues to lose altitude because of orbital decay. The mission will be led by Katalyst Space Technologies, a startup developing a three-armed spacecra

Moon mass loss and breakup: Earth impact explained

If a moon mass change effect happens, Earth will not be destroyed, but many natural systems will slowly change. In a moon mass change effect, the biggest impact would be on ocean tides, night brightness, and long-term climate stability. The Moon controls tides by its gravity, so if it becomes smaller or loses mass, ocean tides will become weaker. This means the sea will not rise and fall as strongly as it does today. Coastal areas, fishing activity, and marin

Experts Warn of Space Traffic Crisis Without Global Cooperation on Low Earth Orbit

The rapid increase in satellites and space junk is threatening the future of Low Earth Orbit (LEO), the most accessible region of space. Experts and industry insiders have raised alarms, stating that without international cooperation and data sharing, LEO could soon become overcrowded and unsafe. According to the United Nations, more than 14,000 satellites, along with over 120 million pieces of debris, are already in orbit, with many more expected in the coming years. This growing congestion
