Orbiting several hundred kilometers above the planet are two satellites, each the size of a half-loaf of bread, measuring bursts of light-speed electrons that sometimes rain into the atmosphere.
The success of FIREBIRD II and missions like it are changing the way scientists think about studying space weather, the field of space physics concerned with the activity of charged solar particles and their impact on Earth.
Astronomy Is About to Get Way More Exciting - The Atlantic
About six months have elapsed since the most powerful space telescope in history bid farewell to Earth and took off into the darkness .
Astronomers around the world are—how do I put this very seriously and scientifically?—absolutely psyched about this. Just bouncing off the walls. They're even more amped now that NASA has released the list of cosmic objects that will be revealed on Tuesday.
NASA condemns Russia's use of space station for propaganda | Space
NASA has issued a statement formally condemning a pair of images shared this week by Russia's federal space agency Roscosmos.
The images show three Russian cosmonauts aboard the International Space Station holding the flags of two Russian-backed breakaway territories in eastern Ukraine that Russia invaded in 2014.

Planned NASA mission to the 'ignorosphere' could improve space weather forecasts | Space
There is a layer of Earth's atmosphere that scientists know very little about. Dubbed the "ignorosphere," this layer at the edge of space plays a huge role in determining the intensity of space weather events.
A new space mission is in the works that will attempt to shed more light on the processes that take place there, but it won't be ready before the current solar cycle ends.
Rocketry: The Nambi Effect, Rocket Boys to Mission Mangal, why Indian entertainment can't get ...
In a Hindi film or a web series, a scientist never sits still. Unless it is, of course, in an interview – an easy device so that the director can cut to a flashback.
They're always on the move, furiously scribbling long, complex equations across three blackboards, wearing grey Einstein-like hair, muttering scientific jargon. Rarely do we ever see them sitting in a room vacantly staring at a wall.
Megacomet K2 caught on camera cruising through celestial equator | Space
A megacomet glows in the dark in this long-exposure image captured by an astrophotographer on June 18, before its closest approach to Earth.
Comet C/2017 K2 (PANSTARRS) , called K2, will swing by our planet on Wednesday (July 13) nearly twice as far away from Earth as our planet is from the sun. But the comet, which may be much as 100 miles (160 kilometers) wide , is still spewing enough dust to show in the view of telescopes.
Dramatic sampling shows asteroid Bennu is nothing like scientists expected | Space
NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission unleashed an unexpected explosion when it touched down on asteroid Bennu in October 2020 to collect a precious sample to carry home to Earth.
Mission scientists have described the dramatic sample retrieval, which led to surprising discoveries about the asteroid's nature, in two new studies.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - On the latest episode of Kentucky Newsmakers, WKYT's Bill Bryant talks with Morehead State University President Dr. Jay Morgan, and Justin Landon and Rusty Underwood, the CEO and president of LBAR.
Morehead is a comprehensive public university with undergraduate, graduate and up and coming doctoral programs. From its campus in northeastern Kentucky, MSU reaches out to its service region and way beyond— even to outer space with its space science center and programs.
Elon Musk pulling out of $44 billion Twitter deal | Space
The filing claims that "Twitter had failed or refused to respond to multiple requests for information on fake or spam accounts on the platform, which is fundamental to the company's business performance," Reuters wrote (opens in new tab) .
In the deal, which was announced in April, Elon Musk committed to acquire the social media platform for $54.20 per share.
