Honda has successfully completed its first test launch and landing of an experimental reusable rocket. The 6.3-meter rocket reached an altitude of 271.4 meters and landed within 37 centimeters of the target, demonstrating precise control and stability. This achievement marks Honda as one of the few companies outside the US and China to develop reusable rocket technology. Currently in the research phase, Honda aims for a suborbital launch by 2029 with potential applications in satellite deployment. This milestone highlights the growing innovation in aerospace and the future of cost-effective space access.

There have been recent reports about the postponement of the Axiom-4 mission, which was to carry Indian astronauts to space. To clarify, Indian astronauts are not being called back from the US. Only the ISRO chairman and support staff are returning to India, while the astronauts remain in Florida, ready for launch whenever a new date is announced. The delay is due to technical issues on the International Space Station and is a precautionary measure for crew safety. India’s participation in the mission remains unchanged.

Blue Origin's New Shepard NS-33 mission is scheduled to launch today, June 21, 2025, at 7:30 AM CDT (≈ 7:00 PM IST) from West Texas. This will be the 33rd overall and 13th crewed flight of the New Shepard program. The mission includes 6 passengers: Allie & Carl Kuehner, Leland Larson, Freddie Rescigno Jr., Owolabi Salis, and Jim Sitkin. The suborbital flight will last about 10 minutes, offering a brief weightlessness experience before the capsule returns via parachute. The live webcast begins 30 minutes before launch on Blue Origin’s website. This mission marks another step forward in space tourism and environmental awareness.

Science has made a shocking discovery—a significant part of Earth’s surface is missing! According to research, glaciers have slowly eroded Earth’s upper surface over millions of years, wiping out crucial evidence of the planet’s history.

This process was so intense that it created massive gaps in the geological record, making it even harder to understand Earth’s past. This reveals that glaciers are not just frozen mountains but powerful forces that reshape Earth's surface! Could similar changes have occurred on other planets as well?

For years, black holes seemed to defy the laws of physics, but a new theory suggests they might actually follow them after all! Scientists propose that black holes could have a hidden internal structure, resolving paradoxes about information loss and quantum mechanics. If true, this could reshape our understanding of gravity, space, and time itself. Are black holes more predictable than we thought?

The James Webb Space Telescope is now on a mission to unlock the mystery of Hycean worlds—exoplanets covered in vast oceans with hydrogen-rich atmospheres. Scientists believe these could be the best candidates for alien life! Webb is searching for biosignatures in their atmospheres, and if found, it could be the strongest evidence yet of life beyond Earth. Are we truly alone in the galaxy?

Scientists have found evidence that dark energy, the force driving the universe’s expansion, might be weakening. If true, this means the universe may not accelerate forever but could slow down over time! This discovery could completely reshape our understanding of cosmology. Further research is needed, but if confirmed, it could be one of the biggest breakthroughs in space science!

Astronomers predict that T Corona Borealis (T CrB), a binary star system 3,000 light-years away, is set for its next nova explosion—a rare event that happens once every 80 years. This time, the explosion is expected around March 27, 2025. The event will be visible to the naked eye in the Corona Borealis constellation. If it doesn’t occur on this date, the next possible windows are November 2025 or June 2026. This is a rare astronomical event, making it an exciting moment for sky watchers and scientists alike!
