NASA engineers successfully revived the Juno spacecraft’s failing camera by heating it from Earth, 595 million km away. The technique, called annealing, aimed to reverse radiation damage without physical repair. Though the fix was temporary, it brought back vital imaging of Jupiter and its moon Io. The mission shows the rising importance of remote repairs

The Earth’s magnetic north pole is drifting faster than ever across the Arctic. A recent study found that man-made dams built since 1835 have shifted the Earth’s rotation axis. This movement, known as True Polar Wander (TPW), affects global navigation and poses challenges for industries relying on magnetic accuracy. BulletsIn Magnetic north pole shifting rapidly

NASA has launched the TRACERS mission to study how solar wind interacts with Earth’s magnetic field. The launch occurred in July 2025 from California. The mission aims to understand how solar activity affects Earth’s space environment and potentially disrupts technology. BulletsIn TRACERS launched by NASA in July 2025 from California.

Scientists at CERN have observed CP violation in baryons for the first time. This breakthrough was made using the LHCb detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The study, published on July 16 in Nature, focuses on the Λb⁰ baryon decay. This finding may help explain why the universe contains more matter than antimatter. BulletsIn CERN

A new tree species named Garcinia kusumae was discovered in April 2025 in Baksa district, Assam. The plant was identified by Jatindra Sarma, a senior botanist, during a field survey. He named it after his late mother Kusum Devi. This find enriches India’s plant biodiversity and showcases Assam’s rich natural heritage. BulletsIn New tree Garcinia

The Sun, vital for life on Earth, will begin to die in about 5 billion years. As it runs out of hydrogen, it will expand into a red giant, possibly engulfing nearby planets, including Earth. This transformation will raise Earth’s temperature, making it uninhabitable, and may eventually end life as we know it. BulletsIn Sun

A new study warns that rapid melting of glaciers—especially in West Antarctica—could trigger hundreds of explosive volcanic eruptions. This process, driven by climate change, reduces pressure on underground magma, increasing eruption risks. The findings, based on Chile’s Andes data, highlight a potential global feedback loop accelerating climate change. BulletsIn Melting glaciers reduce pressure on magma,
