Space-Based Solar Power Stations Pose Risk to Satellites The USA and China are advancing space-based solar power technologies to beam solar energy to Earth, ensuring continuous electricity production independent of weather conditions. A recent report from Chinese researchers highlights the potential threat of powerful lasers used in this technology to damage neighboring satellites. American startup Overview Energy plans to showcase laser technology in space by 2028, with China targeting a similar demonstration by 2030.

Exploring Deep Space: Potential Threats to Humanity Exploring deep space presents several hazards, including the cosmic vacuum, radiation, weightlessness, and exposure to lunar dust during Moon missions. Of all these risks, cosmic radiation stands out as the most dangerous. It encompasses electromagnetic radiation and high-energy charged particles, mainly protons, posing significant health risks to astronauts on extended missions. The primary sources of cosmic radiation are solar activity, making it a critical factor to consider for the safety and well-being of space travelers.

Brain Nebula or Garlic (LBN 576) 🧠 This celestial object, known as the Brain Nebula or Garlic, is the result of a massive star explosion that occurred approximately 10,000 years ago in the Cassiopeia constellation. The remnants of this supernova are quite dim in the sky, necessitating a 66-hour exposure through a telescope to capture an image of the expanding gas shell.

Crystal Ball Nebula in Taurus Planetary nebula NGC 1514, also known as the Crystal Ball Nebula, is situated in the Taurus constellation approximately 800 light-years away from Earth. These nebulae are created when stars reach the end of their life cycle, expelling layers of hot gas into the surrounding space. This gas then creates a growing shell, revealing the star's core at its center.

Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS Approaching Jupiter's Moon Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb believes in the extraterrestrial origin of comet 3I/ATLAS. His projections indicate that the next destination for this interstellar visitor is Jupiter's moon, Eupheme. On March 17, the comet is set to make its closest approach to Eupheme at a distance of 30.46 million km. Just a day earlier, on March 16, it will pass by Jupiter at a distance of 53.445 million km.

Foam-Like Planet Discovered in Kepler-7 System A planet with an incredibly low density, about 30 times less than water on Earth, has been found in the Kepler-7 system. With a mass similar to foam, one cubic meter of its material weighs approximately 30 kg. Despite the nickname, the planet is not actually made of foam but has earned the moniker due to its exceptionally low density.

Close-Up Image of Jupiter Captured by NASA's Juno Spacecraft A striking close-up image of Jupiter has been captured by NASA's Juno spacecraft, revealing intricate details of the gas giant's swirling atmosphere. The image provides a mesmerizing view of Jupiter, resembling an abstract painting with its vibrant colors and dynamic patterns. The high-resolution image showcases the planet's distinct bands of clouds and swirling storms, offering scientists valuable insights into Jupiter's complex weather systems. NASA's Juno mission continues to unravel the mysteries of the largest planet in our solar system, providing unprecedented views of Jupiter's mesmerizing features.

Vladimir Putin and Denis Manturov Review Space Industry Achievements in 2025 The rocket and space industry, a vital sector of the economy, saw significant success in 2025. Enterprises experienced a 10% increase in revenue, accompanied by a corresponding rise in labor productivity. Throughout the year, a total of 17 spacecraft launches took place, contributing to the expansion of the Russian orbital group to 300 satellites. Notably, the "Angara-A5" rocket achieved a milestone by successfully deploying a Ministry of Defense satellite into a geostationary orbit from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome, marking a departure from previous launches exclusively conducted from Baikonur.

Astronaut Sergey Kud-Sverchkov Takes Command of the ISS A ceremony marked the transfer of command on the International Space Station from astronaut Michael Fincke to cosmonaut Sergey Kud-Sverchkov. The commander's duties involve overseeing the crew on both the Russian and American segments, as well as maintaining safety. The traditional ceremony featured bell strikes by Sergey Mikaev.
