The first full moon of summer, June’s Strawberry Moon, wowed skywatchers worldwide with a spectacular display. June’s full moon was the lowest-hanging full moon of the year for observers in the Northern Hemisphere. That’s because a full moon always sits opposite the sun in the sky. During the summer solstice that just passed on June…

An extraordinary high-energy event detected deep in space is giving astronomers a rare opportunity to study some of the Universe’s most extreme phenomena. On July 2, 2025, the China-led Einstein Probe (EP) space telescope spotted an exceptionally bright X-ray source during a routine survey of the sky. The object’s brightness changed rapidly, making it immediately…

Scientists with the SETI Institute have completed a search for possible technological signals coming from 3I/ATLAS, the third known interstellar object to pass through our Solar System. Using the Allen Telescope Array (ATA) at Northern California’s Hat Creek Radio Observatory, researchers examined a broad range of radio frequencies for evidence of extraterrestrial technology. As expected…

TAMPA, Fla. — The Federal Communications Commission is set to vote July 22 on an order to overhaul its satellite application process, creating a “licensing assembly line” to keep up with increasingly large and complex constellation plans. The Space Modernization Order would replace the FCC’s long-standing Part 25 space and Earth station regulations with a…

Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) have tracked down the source of a powerful neutrino burst with the help of a remarkable cosmic phenomenon that acted like a natural telescope. What they discovered challenged expectations. Researchers initially suspected that a supermassive black hole was powering an extraordinarily bright distant galaxy linked to the…
