A satellite launched when slide rules still ruled has jolted astronomers in 2025. NASA’s Relay 2, silent since the summer of 1967, fired off a single radio pulse so bright it briefly eclipsed every cosmic source above Earth. Clancy James of Curtin University in Perth and colleagues stumbled on the flash during a routine search for fast radio burst signals. …

Data provided by the water satellite, a joint effort between NASA and the French space agency, is helping to improve tsunami forecast models, benefitting coastal communities. The SWOT (Surface Water and Ocean Topography) satellite captured the tsunami spawned by an 8.8 magnitude earthquake off the coast of Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula on July 30, 11:25 a.m. local time. The satellite, a …

The SWOT data on the height, shape, and direction of the tsunami wave is key to improving these types of forecast models. “The satellite observations help researchers to better reverse engineer the cause of a tsunami, and in this case, they also showed us that NOAA’s tsunami forecast was right on the money,” said Josh Willis, a JPL oceanographer. The …

The Trump Administration’s budget proposal for Fiscal Year 2026 would take an axe to NASA science. Two satellite missions on the chopping block have provided climate scientists, oil and gas companies, and farmers with critical atmospheric carbon data for years. The Orbiting Carbon Observatories are a pair of instruments that map atmospheric carbon on a global scale. NASA launched the …

The White House has instructed NASA employees to terminate two major, climate change-focused satellite missions. As NPR reports, Trump officials reached out to the space agency to draw up plans for terminating the two missions, called the Orbiting Carbon Observatories. They’ve been collecting widely-used data, providing both oil and gas companies and farmers with detailed information about the distribution of …

In May 2025, residents living around Lac Rouge discovered a washed-out road near the lake, triggering investigations that revealed the lake had completely emptied almost overnight, an extremely rare and puzzling event for the area. Using both ground and air searches, experts found that the land around the lake had collapsed on itself, causing the lake to drain. What is …

Russia’s nuclear submarine base in the country’s Far East appears to have been hit by the powerful tsunami that swept the Pacific on July 30, according to satellite imagery seen by the Telegraph and published Aug. 1. An 8.8 magnitude earthquake near the Russian Kamchatka peninsula on July 30 triggered tsunami waves in Russia’s Far East, prompting evacuations in Japan …
