Elon Musk plans solar-powered data centers in orbit, says “space is called space for a reason” |

SpaceX has set out a plan to shift large-scale artificial intelligence computing away from Earth and into orbit, following its acquisition of xAI. The proposal comes amid growing pressure on terrestrial data centres, which consume vast amounts of electricity and require constant cooling. According to SpaceX, global demand for AI compute is rising faster than […]

‘SpaceX and xAI are now one company’: What the merger means for AI and space |

The announcement was short and characteristically confident. “To the stars,” Elon Musk wrote, confirming that SpaceX and xAI are now operating as a single company. The message itself gave little away, yet the decision marks a turning point in how Musk intends to pursue his long-term ambitions. By bringing together his space and artificial intelligence […]

Comet C/2025 K1 ATLAS breaking apart into pieces: Gemini North Telescope release images after a closest Sun flyby |

Comet C/2025 K1 ATLAS, a relatively new visitor from the outer solar system, has broken apart after swooping close to the Sun in October 2025. Stunning images captured by the Gemini North telescope in Hawaii show glowing fragments tumbling through space, like shards of icy glass, which observers say is a rare sight. These long-period […]

Michigan scientist uses 750-year-old Indian poems to show western India’s savannas were never ruined forests |

Michigan scientist uses 750-year-old Indian poems to show western India’s savannas were never ruined forests |

For decades, large stretches of western India’s open landscapes were widely described as degraded forests shaped by centuries of human activity. But new research by Ashish Nerlekar of Michigan State University challenges that assumption. By analysing Indian poems, folk songs and sacred texts written as early as the 13th century, the study shows that many […]

How long does it take the sun to rotate on its axis |

How long does it take the sun to rotate on its axis |

The Sun turns, but not in the way a solid object would. It has no hard surface, no fixed edge to follow. What scientists describe as solar rotation comes from watching patterns move across a glowing, restless face. That motion matters because it shapes the Sun’s behaviour, from quiet stretches to bursts of activity. Over […]

NASA’s Perseverance discovers white kaolinite rocks on Mars, revealing millions of years of rainfall and wet conditions |

Bright white rocks. Scattered across the rusty red plains of Mars. NASA’s Perseverance rover spotted them in Jezero crater which the scientists have been staring at them ever since. At first glance, they might seem ordinary. But analysis tells a different story that these rocks aren’t just rocks. They’re kaolinite clays, aluminium-rich, and rare. On […]

How to find the Orion constellation in the sky |

Orion’s Belt is a familiar sight in the night sky during the colder months, often noticed easily. Three bright stars sit in a straight line, rising in the east and crossing high overhead as the evening deepens. They belong to the larger Orion constellation, positioned close to the celestial equator, which makes them visible from […]
