A fast‑moving stream of plasma from a yawning coronal hole is barreling toward Earth, and forecasters at NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) have issued a G2 (moderate) geomagnetic‑storm watch for the night of 25 June 2025. If the solar‑wind blast couples efficiently with our planet’s magnetic field, auroras could surge as far south as Colorado, New York…

A rare alignment of space‑weather ingredients is expected to push shimmering curtains of green, pink and violet as far south as the lower Great Lakes and Pacific Northwest overnight on 24–25 June 2025. NOAA has issued a G1–G2 geomagnetic‑storm watch with the Kp index forecast to peak at 5.67, enough to expand the auroral oval into at least 15…

EU Declares War on Space Junk: A Deep Dive into the New Space Act, the Starlink Dilemma and the Hidden Climate Costs of Orbital DebrisThe European Commission’s freshly‑minted EU Space Act lands at the very moment low‑Earth orbit (LEO) is sliding from boomtown to bottleneck. Behind the headline pledge to fine careless satellite operators lurks a hard truth: more than 40 000 tracked objects, 7 500+ Starlink spacecraft alone, and …
Sky on Fire Tonight: Giant ‘Solar Canyon’ Aims 800‑km/s Wind at Earth—Northern Lights Could Ignite 15 U.S. States & Test Global TechA fast‑moving stream of plasma from a yawning coronal hole is barreling toward Earth, and forecasters at NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) have issued a G2 (moderate) geomagnetic‑storm watch for the night of 25 June 2025. If the solar‑wind blast couples efficiently with our planet’s m…

The state-run operator Uztelecom has extended fiber-optic backbones beyond major cities in recent years budde.com…
SpaceX’s ‘Grace’ Roars to Orbit: Axiom Mission 4 Sends India, Poland & Hungary Back to Space — and Signals the Dawn of a Truly Global Commercial ISS EraA pre‑dawn launch from Kennedy Space Center on 25 June 2025 vaulted four astronauts from four nations into orbit aboard a brand‑new Dragon capsule they christened Grace. The two‑week private mission, arranged by Houston‑based Axiom Space and flown by SpaceX, is more than a spectacular rocket ride…
Historic Liftoff! Poland’s “Star Scientist” Launches on SpaceX Dragon—All the Inside Details on the Ax-4 Mission, Crew and Experiments1. Why today’s flight matters At 02:31 EDT (08:31 CEST) a brand-new SpaceX Crew Dragon christened Grace roared off pad 39A, carrying four astronauts on Axiom Mission 4 (Ax-4)—and with them the dreams of three nations returning to human space-flight after more than four decades. Among the passenge…
