A newly found star circles the Milky Way's central black hole every 8.7 years and passes it at about 25,000 kilometres a second, more than 8 percent of the speed of light, and the pass is so close that its discoverers say there is a fair chance of measuring the hole's spin within a decade
The November 2025 geomagnetic superstorm pushed satellite-positioning errors beyond 10 metres in parts of the continental US, with interference stretching nearly coast to coast. Researchers warn that had it struck during spring planting, it could have caused hundreds of millions of dollars in agricultural losses.
A $30 million rescue mission launched on 3 July to grab NASA’s ageing Swift telescope and lift it into a safer orbit. When its LINK spacecraft began spinning at nine degrees per second, engineers regained partial control—but not enough for a safe capture—leaving Swift conducting its final observations as atmospheric drag pulls it toward re-entry later this year.
A black monkey with a pinkish-orange patch around its mouth was photographed in a Congo forest canopy in 2008, detected 114 times between 2018 and 2022, and only then named Colobus congoensis — by its describers' count, the fifth African monkey species new to science in 75 years
