NASA has delayed the first crewed Artemis II mission from February to March 2026. A recent Wet Dress Rehearsal revealed minor issues, including a hydrogen leak. Teams are now fixing problems and preparing for a historic Moon orbit launch.
India’s Chandrayaan‑4 mission aims to bring Moon soil and rocks back to Earth. The ambitious mission could reveal the Moon’s ancient secrets and strengthen India’s space leadership.
At just 23, a young chemist solved a deadly medical problem, then vanished from credit and history, leaving behind a cure, a mystery, and a legacy reclaimed decades later.
Scientists have spotted a critically endangered waved albatross nearly 3,000 miles from its Galapagos home off the California coast. The rare sighting has sparked fresh questions about seabird behaviour and ocean conditions.
PhD student Linda Losurdo in Sydney recreated cosmic dust in the laboratory to uncover how life’s building blocks may have reached Earth. Her stardust experiments could reshape the understanding of universe and biology’s beginnings.
February offers a perfect view of Orion the Hunter. Spot its iconic Belt and Sword in the evening sky, with Sirius and Aldebaran nearby. Clear nights make winter stargazing unforgettable.
A rare video from Ladakh shows a snow leopard mother and two cubs roaming calmly near border roads, hinting at healthy habitats amid rising development pressures in fragile Himalayan landscapes.
Record-breaking cold has stunned Florida’s green iguanas, causing hundreds to fall from trees. Scientists explain this unusual behaviour as a natural survival response to freezing temperatures.
NASA’s Perseverance rover has uncovered signs of an ancient Martian shoreline, hinting at long-lasting lakes, subsurface water activity, and conditions that may once have supported life on the Red Planet.
Hundreds of manatees gathered at Three Sisters Springs as cold air met warm waters, creating a rare winter spectacle in Crystal River. Scientists use photographs, drones and tracking technology to study this remarkable migration.
China’s Unitree G1 humanoid robot has successfully completed an extreme cold test in Xinjiang, walking through deep snow at -47 degrees Celsius. The experiment highlights major progress in robotics designed for harsh environments.
Residents of Russia’s St. Petersburg looked up to find four glowing moons in the winter sky. The eerie spectacle wasn’t a glitch, but a rare atmospheric illusion scientists quickly explained.
The Sun has released four powerful X-class solar flares in just two days, alarming scientists worldwide. Experts warn these eruptions may disrupt satellites, communication systems and power grids as solar activity continues to rise.
NASA’s Moon rocket passed a tense fueling test despite hydrogen leaks, edging Artemis 2 closer to launch and raising a key question: is the spacecraft finally ready to carry astronauts beyond Earth?
On February 3, 2026, NASA will run Artemis II White Dress Rehearsal. Engineers will fuel the rocket, simulate countdown and ensure the Orion spacecraft is mission-ready for lunar flight.
Union Budget 2026 announces 4 major telescope projects in India. These new facilities will boost astronomy research, solar and deep-space observation and public science engagement.
Perovskite-silicon hybrid solar cells, launching in 2026, promise 34% higher efficiency than traditional panels. This breakthrough combines advanced materials science and physics to accelerate global solar energy adoption.
Japan’s METI and JAMSTEC have successfully retrieved rare earth-rich sediment from 6,000 metres below the Pacific Ocean. This world-first mission could strengthen Japan’s technology and energy industries while reducing dependence on foreign suppliers.
A viral video captured a rare moment when an Iberian imperial eagle confronted a fox and calmly bathed in front of the predator. The extraordinary footage reveals the confidence, intelligence and survival instincts of one of Europe’s rarest birds.
World Wetlands Day is celebrated on 2nd February every year. Restored wetlands in India are reviving wildlife like never before. From cranes to dolphins, these ecosystems and thriving habitats show nature’s resilience.
A Penn State team has shattered Kirchhoff’s 165-year-old law of thermal radiation. Their engineered metamaterial emits more heat in one direction than it absorbs, opening doors for next-generation energy, sensors and heat management.
A team of scientists has discovered how vertebrates evolved complexity. By producing multiple protein forms from the same genes, early vertebrates developed new organs, tissues and cell types, unlocking a new level of biological diversity.
Auroras are not just on Earth. NASA has detected glowing northern and southern lights on Jupiter, Saturn, Mars and other planets, revealing how solar particles interact with magnetic fields and atmospheres.
Scientists uncover a ‘lost world’ inside a New Zealand cave, revealing fossils of extinct birds and frogs from 1 million years ago. The discovery offers rare insight into ancient ecosystems.
Faster than a race car and lethal mid-air, this remarkable bird dominates the skies with unmatched speed and precision, raising fresh wonder about how nature created such a hunter.
