Japan’s Akatsuki spacecraft, which studied Venus for nearly a decade, has been declared inoperable by JAXA. Successfully orbiting in 2015 after an initial failure, Akatsuki uncovered major insights into Venus’s swirling clouds and atmosphere. Its mission’s end leaves a gap until NASA’s VERITAS and DAVINCI+ missions take over.

Astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope observed a huge solar storm from EK Draconis, a young Sun-like star. The eruption’s energy may trigger atmospheric chemistry, forming greenhouse gases and organic molecules. Such events could mirror early solar activity that helped spark life on ancient Earth and distant exoplanets.

For the first time, scientists have directly observed twisting Alfvén waves in the Sun’s corona using the Inouye Solar Telescope. The discovery could explain why the Sun’s outer atmosphere is millions of degrees hotter than its surface, offering key insights into solar energy transfer and space weather prediction.

Scientists at NTU Singapore propose carbon-neutral data centers in low Earth orbit powered by solar energy and cooled by the vacuum of space. The concept could help meet rising AI demands while reducing land use and emissions, offering a sustainable alternative for the global computing industry.
