Tsunami Seen From Space: NASA’s SWOT Satellite Captures 2025 Kamchatka Megaquake in Unprecedented Detail

Tsunami Seen From Space: NASA’s SWOT Satellite Captures 2025 Kamchatka Megaquake in Unprecedented Detail

When a magnitude 8.8 megathrust earthquake struck off Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula on July 29, 2025, it sent a tsunami racing across almost the entire Pacific. Now, scientists have revealed something just as extraordinary as the quake itself: for the first time, a satellite has captured a giant Pacific tsunami in high-resolution detail from space, forcing a rethink of how these waves behave and how we forecast them.

Baikonur Launch Pad Damaged After Soyuz MS‑28 Liftoff as NASA Astronaut Chris Williams Reaches Space Station

Baikonur Launch Pad Damaged After Soyuz MS‑28 Liftoff as NASA Astronaut Chris Williams Reaches Space Station

A dramatic week for human spaceflight has left Russia’s Baikonur Cosmodrome with a damaged launch pad and the International Space Station with three new crew members — including NASA astronaut Chris Williams — safely on board. While the Soyuz MS‑28 mission reached orbit and docked as planned, post‑launch inspections revealed serious damage to Baikonur’s Site 31, the only pad currently certified for Russia’s crewed Soyuz flights to the ISS.

Earth’s New ‘Quasi‑Moon’ 2025 PN7: What NASA’s Data and Astronomers Say Today (Nov. 18, 2025)

Earth’s New ‘Quasi‑Moon’ 2025 PN7: What NASA’s Data and Astronomers Say Today (Nov. 18, 2025)

Coverage of Earth’s “extra moons” picked up again on November 18, 2025, with fresh explainers highlighting that our planet frequently hosts transient mini‑moons and quasi‑moons—small natural bodies that either briefly orbit Earth or share our year around the Sun. The broader context matters: Earth’s newly discussed quasi‑moon 2025 PN7 is real, but it’s not a second Moon. It’s an asteroid in a special co‑orbital dance with Earth, and modeling suggests it will keep us company into the 2080s. Geo News

Strongest Solar Flare of 2025 (X5.1) Triggers Radio Blackouts; NOAA Confirms G4 Geomagnetic Storm

Severe ‘Cannibal’ Solar Storm Hits Earth Today (12 November 2025): NOAA Confirms G4 Levels, ESA Warns of Third CME; UK on Highest Alert and NASA Delays Launch

A powerful burst of space weather is sweeping across Earth today, disrupting radio communications, degrading GPS accuracy and setting the stage for another night of widespread aurora. The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration confirms G4 “severe” geomagnetic storm levels were reached early on Wednesday, while the European Space Agency says a third coronal mass ejection could arrive late tonight or early Thursday—potentially prolonging disruptions. In the UK, the British Geological Survey has upgraded its forecast to the highest intensity, warning this could be the biggest solar storm to affect Britain in more than two decades.

NASA Confirms Earth’s “Secret Second Moon” – Tiny Asteroid 2025 PN7 Will Orbit with Us Until 2083

NASA Confirms Earth’s “Secret Second Moon” – Tiny Asteroid 2025 PN7 Will Orbit with Us Until 2083

On Oct 22, 2025, space agencies worldwide celebrated the announcement that Earth has a new celestial companion. A team from the University of Hawaii’s Pan-STARRS survey discovered a tiny asteroid – designated 2025 PN7 – on Aug. 2, 2025, and subsequent orbit analysis showed it has been silently trailing Earth for roughly 60 yearschron.com. NASA confirmed in a press report that this 62-foot-wide rock is Earth’s newest “quasi-moon,” meaning it is not a bound satellite but a co-orbital asteroidts2.techhindustantimes.com. As one global space news outlet noted, astronomers “confirmed a tiny ‘quasi-moon’ – asteroid 2025 PN7 – has been co-orbiting Earth for decades”ts2.tech.

SpaceX’s Starship Ignites Moon-Race Drama: Will NASA Beat China?

SpaceX’s next Starship test is set for Oct. 13, 2025, marking the final launch of the current “Block 2” version ts2.tech. Flight 11 will replicate Flight 10’s profile but test new landing techniques and a reinforced heat shield ts2.tech space.com. NASA is betting Artemis III on Starship for crewed lunar landings, even as China pushes for its first moonwalk by 2030 krgv.com reuters.com. Experts warn NASA’s plan is “extraordinarily complex” krgv.com and may slip; former NASA chief Jim Bridenstine remarked “it doesn’t make a lot of sense… if you’re trying to go first to the moon, this time to beat China” krgv.com. Acting NASA boss Sean Duffy vows “we are going to win the second space race” against China abcnews.go.com. SpaceX itself is booming: its Starlink network now tops ~8,500 satellites and ~$15.5 billion in annual revenue ts2.tech, driving a private valuation near $400 billion ts2.tech. Elon Musk’s other company, Tesla, has surged past $450, bolstered by record EV sales ts2.tech.

Falcon 9’s ‘Jellyfish’ Launch & Webb’s Moon-Forming Disk – Space News Roundup (Sept 29–30, 2025)

Falcon 9’s ‘Jellyfish’ Launch & Webb’s Moon-Forming Disk – Space News Roundup (Sept 29–30, 2025)

SpaceX capped September with a spectacular twilight launch. On Sept. 28, a Falcon 9 lifted off from Vandenberg SFB carrying 28 Starlink v2 Mini satellites space.com. Reaching dusk, the rocket’s exhaust expanded into the upper atmosphere and caught the Sun’s rays, creating a brilliant “space jellyfish” effect visible from hundreds of miles. Space.com’s Brett Tingley, camping in Afton Canyon, marveled, “I’ve seen plenty of Falcon 9 ‘jellyfish’ online but never in person. It was lit up gorgeously from below by the setting sun…” space.com. The booster landed on the drone ship “Of Course I Still Love You” in the Pacific, and the second stage successfully deployed all satellites into low Earth orbit. This launch was Falcon 9’s 28th flight of the stage, and the 124th SpaceX launch of 2025 space.com spaceflightnow.com.
