A burst of high‑speed solar wind from a giant coronal‑hole on the Sun is slamming Earth’s magnetic field this week, prompting NOAA to issue a G2‑level geomagnetic‑storm watch and raising the odds that the aurora borealis will spill far beyond its usual haunts—potentially as far south as Illinois, Ohio and New York on the night of 24–25 June 2025.…

China Develops Laser Data Link 5x Faster Than StarlinkChinese scientists achieved a record-breaking 1 Gbps laser data transmission from geostationary orbit to Earth—five times faster than SpaceX Starlink. Using a novel AO-MDR technique, they overcame atmospheric turbulence, enabling more efficient, stable satellite communications. This breakthrough could revolutionize commercial and civil space connectivity.
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…
Uzbekistan’s Internet Makeover: Blazing Speeds, New Satellites, and Lingering BarriersInternet Infrastructure: From Dial-Up to 5G Uzbekistan’s internet infrastructure has rapidly evolved from slow dial-up and DSL connections to modern fiber-optic and wireless networks. 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…
