James Webb has found patches of fresh crystalline ice on Europa that should be destroyed by Jupiter’s radiation in less than 15 days — meaning parts of the moon’s frozen surface are being renewed fast enough to keep replacing it, possibly offering clues to activity beneath the ice shell.
Europa’s radiation clock runs fast enough to erase order from its exposed ice in about a fortnight. Charged…

A planet called WASP-127b, roughly 520 light-years from Earth, has a jet stream ripping around its equator at up to 33,000 km/h — more than 18 times faster than Neptune’s winds, the fastest found anywhere in our own Solar System.
Astronomers have measured atmospheric motion around the equator of WASP-127b at close to 9 kilometres per second, about…

SpaceX’s Starship generates more than twice the thrust of the Saturn V that carried humans to the Moon, yet after 13 test flights it still hasn’t demonstrated ship-to-ship refueling in orbit — one of the biggest technical hurdles standing between Starship and Mars.
SpaceX’s Starship V3 leaves its launch pad with roughly 18 million pounds of thrust. NASA credits the Saturn…

LUJAN, Argentina (AP) — Thirty lions and tigers that were kept alive — barely — for years in…
Pluto’s sky is blue, chunks of its water-ice mountains float like icebergs across glaciers of frozen nitrogen, and its moon is so large that the two worlds orbit a point in empty space between them — yet Pluto still hasn’t completed a single trip around the Sun since humans discovered it in 1930.
A visitor descending towards Pluto would meet contradictions before reaching the ground. Above lies a blue atmospheric haze,…
