Future Tech
NASA's roamx-0201 research points toward a striking range increase, but the 18.7-kilometre figure is a simulation result, not a flight already performed on Mars.

Science That Matters
ESA's newly released Euclid images reveal how moving-object software, repeat observations and follow-up turned a faint streak into comet C/2026 S1.
MMX launch aboard H3 at Tanegashima
JAXA · JAXA immediate news useStill frame extracted from JAXA's launch sequence distributed by ESA; resized and encoded as WebP. Not a recreated launch or an image of a different rocket.
Science That Matters
MMX has launched on an H3 rocket from Japan. Arrival at Mars, Phobos sampling and the planned 2031 Earth return remain separate milestones still ahead.
Future Tech
NASA's Kennedy engineers are standardizing finite-element analysis to examine launch vibration, sudden shocks and risks that show up during transportation.
Science That Matters
JPL predicts a roughly 564,000-mile miss distance for 2026 TS. The upcoming encounter is about 2.36 average lunar distances, not an impact warning.
Science That Matters
NGC 1827's dusty, edge-on disc looks like one scene. A bright star projected near its center is actually much closer to us.

Science That Matters
ESA's new JANUS mosaic follows a strip across Africa. The September flyby also tested Juice's camera, power system and optical navigation.
Future Tech
CRS-35 docked on October 15 with more than 6,300 pounds of cargo, including roll-out solar arrays and experiments involving tissues and materials.
WD J1330+6435 computed-colour panel in an editorial headline layout

Science That Matters
WD J1330+6435 breaks the usual stellar color rules. Its dense, sodium-rich atmosphere produces a green appearance in a model of human vision.
Science That Matters
NASA's October 15 MMX update details a neutron-and-gamma-ray instrument, a gas-powered sampler and plans to curate part of the returned material.
Science That Matters
Chandra's new Treble Clef release connects a strange radio structure to an old black-hole outburst and a later collision between galaxy clusters.
