Netflix turned Purja into a hero — but the truth they left out sounds very different. Scandals and accusations have already shattered the ground beneath his legend.
About 63 light-years from Earth, the exoplanet HD 189733 b races around its orange dwarf star in just two Earth days, making it a classic “hot Jupiter.”
So despite its attractive colour, this giant is anything but peaceful: the dayside burns at 1,000°C (1,830°F), the nightside at about 450°C (840°F), and winds roar at 2.4 km/s (5,400 mph).
It’s that time of year again — the Leonid meteor shower reaches its peak on the night of November 17, producing around 10–15 bright meteors per hour.
These meteors, once part of comet 55P/Tempel–Tuttle, streak through Earth’s atmosphere at about 70 km/s (155,000 mph), leaving fast, straight trails across the sky.
Wrap up warm, find a dark spot, and enjoy the show!
The prehensile-tailed porcupine, found across South America, has an excellent sense of smell and long whiskers that help it explore branches in the dark.
Meet the peacock mantis shrimp — a colourful underwater boxer from the Indian and western Pacific oceans. It spends most of its life hiding in a U-shaped burrow, waiting to punch anything that swims too close.
Its strike lasts just 2 milliseconds — 50 times faster than a blink — and its eyes, by the way, can detect polarized light.
After a weather delay, Blue Origin is preparing for another attempt to launch its New Glenn rocket from Cape Canaveral today, November 12.
The mission will carry NASA’s twin ESCAPADE orbiters, marking the agency’s first mission to Mars in five years.
Developed by Rocket Lab, the spacecraft will study how solar wind and space weather have eroded Mars’ atmosphere over time, leaving behind the cold, arid planet we see today.
A stunning solar halo with a complete 360-degree parhelic circle was observed in Greenland — an atmospheric phenomenon caused by sunlight refracting through millions of ice crystals suspended in the air.
An Orionid meteor was seen burning up near comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon), which is currently shining with a magnitude of 3.5–4, about as bright as the Andromeda Galaxy.
