NASA scientists have discovered a new type of gamma-ray emission produced by tropical thunderstorms, called "flickering gamma-ray flashes." Using advanced detectors aboard a high-altitude NASA aircraft, researchers found that these emissions, lasting between 50 and 200 milliseconds, occur more frequently than previously thought.

NASA has powered down one of Voyager 2's key science instruments, the plasma science detector, as the spacecraft's power supply continues to decline. The decision, made to conserve energy, comes as Voyager 2 explores the interstellar medium over 12.8 billion miles from Earth. Despite the shutdown, Voyager 2 will continue to collect data from other instruments, extending its mission into the 2030s.

Astronomers have discovered a new triple star system, TIC 290061484, which now holds the record for the shortest orbital period in such systems. The discovery, made with NASA's TESS data and the help of artificial intelligence, offers new insights into how these multi-star systems form and evolve.

NASA’s Dark Energy Camera (DECam) has captured a stunning image of the Rosette Nebula, a star-forming region 5,000 light-years away. This high-resolution image provides detailed insights into the processes of stellar formation, showcasing the interactions between glowing gas, dark dust clouds, and young stars.

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has discovered a gravitationally lensed supernova, named Supernova H0pe, which is helping refine the Hubble constant and shed light on the ongoing mystery of the universe's expansion rate. This discovery adds new depth to the study of the universe's evolution, contributing to the debate surrounding the Hubble tension.

The groundbreaking image, taken by the JENI instrument, reveals the intricate structure of the Van Allen belts, providing critical insights into space weather and the hazards of deep space exploration.

United Launch Alliance (ULA) successfully launched its second Vulcan Centaur rocket on October 4, 2024, marking a major step toward certifying the rocket for future national security missions. Despite a minor booster anomaly detected shortly after liftoff, the mission proceeded as planned, achieving key objectives.
