NASA's IXPE Telescope Maps Magnetic Fields of Lighthouse Nebula Pulsar

Scientists have used NASA's Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) to directly measure the magnetic fields of pulsar PSR J1101−6101 for the first time. The pulsar is located within a region commonly known as the Lighthouse Nebula. The measurements offer new insight into the structural properties of pulsars, which are among the most extreme objects in the universe. This milestone advances scientific understanding of how magnetic fields behave around dense, rapidly rotating stellar remnants.

Curiosity Rover Accidentally Uncovers First Sulfur Crystals on Mars

NASA's Curiosity Mars rover made a historic discovery on May 30, 2024, when it accidentally crushed a rock while driving across the Martian surface. The broken rock revealed fragments of sulfur crystals, marking the first time such crystals have ever been observed on Mars. The discovery was unplanned, resulting purely from the rover's routine movement over the terrain. In the days following the incident, Curiosity used a camera mounted on its robotic arm to capture close-up images of the exposed crystals.

NASA Tests Arctic Sea Ice Sensor Ahead of Planned Spacecraft Launch

Engineers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California are currently testing a spacecraft sensor designed to measure the rate of Arctic sea ice loss. The instrument is not expected to launch for at least another year, but preparations for its use are already underway. Scientists recently conducted a field campaign in the Canadian wilderness to support this effort. Researchers spent two weeks gathering data in the field as part of the preparation process.

Super Typhoon Bavi Strikes Northern Mariana Islands and Guam, Heads for Asia

Super Typhoon Bavi, the third Category 5 tropical cyclone of 2026, has passed over the U.S. Northern Mariana Islands and Guam. The powerful storm maintained its intense strength as it moved through the western Pacific region. After crossing the U.S. island territories, Bavi continued on a trajectory toward Asia. The storm's Category 5 status places it among the most powerful classifications on the tropical cyclone scale.

Students Blend NASA Data and Indigenous Knowledge to Track Maine Coastal Erosion

Students at the Pleasant Point Passamaquoddy Reservation in Downeast Maine are combining NASA science with Indigenous knowledge to study coastal erosion. The reservation, known as Sipayik, sits along the shores of Passamaquoddy Bay, where generations of Indigenous people have lived in close relationship with the coast. The shoreline is now eroding at an accelerating pace, threatening land that carries deep cultural and historical significance for the community. The project reflects a broader effort to integrate traditional ecological knowledge with modern scientific tools to better understand environmental change.

Hubble Images M3, One of the Milky Way's Most Massive Star Clusters

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has captured a detailed image of Messier 3 (M3), one of the largest and most massive globular clusters in the Milky Way galaxy. Globular clusters are dense, spherical groupings of stars held together by gravity. The stars within these clusters are ancient, having formed around the same time from the same gas cloud, making them roughly the same age. Approximately 150 globular clusters are known to exist within the Milky Way.

NASA Transfers 105 Acres of Woodland at Goddard Campus to Federal Wildlife Refuge

NASA has ceremonially handed over approximately 105 acres of forested land at its Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, to the neighboring Patuxent Research Refuge. The transfer took place on Tuesday and was managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The land, previously designated as NASA Goddard's Area 400, will now be administered as part of the federal refuge. The addition makes the site part of the largest contiguous block of unfragmented forest in the region.

NASA's New Horizons Spacecraft Exits Year-Long Hibernation in Good Health

NASA's New Horizons spacecraft has successfully come out of its longest hibernation period to date, lasting nearly a year. Flight controllers at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland, confirmed the spacecraft's healthy status on June 23. The probe is now prepared to begin transmitting scientific data it collected in the distant Kuiper Belt, the region of the solar system that lies far beyond Pluto. New Horizons continues to serve as a key tool for studying the outer reaches of our solar system.

Artemis II Crew Dedicates Apollo 14 Moon Tree at Johnson Space Center

The four-member Artemis II crew took part in a dedication ceremony for an Apollo 14 Moon tree at the Lunar Receiving Park, located at NASA's Johnson Space Center, on June 25, 2026. The tree is a second-generation loblolly pine, descended from seeds that were originally flown to the Moon aboard the Apollo 14 mission. The original Apollo Moon trees were grown from seeds carried on that historic mission decades ago. The ceremony marks a symbolic connection between NASA's past lunar program and its ongoing Artemis efforts to return humans to the Moon.

Webb Telescope Reveals Hidden Complexity of Centaurus A Galaxy at 4-Year Mark

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has captured new, detailed images of Centaurus A, a well-known galaxy, as part of celebrations marking its fourth science anniversary. Webb's advanced near- and mid-infrared sensitivity allowed it to penetrate thick dust lanes that previously blocked views of the galaxy's core in visible light. The images reveal a far richer and more complex structure than had been observed before. Centaurus A's unusual shape is believed to have been formed through a cosmic collision with another galaxy. The findings highlight Webb's growing contribution to deepening our understanding of galactic formation and evolution.
