Scientists from TU Dresden have created a laser drill that vaporises ice to reach potential subsurface oceans on Europa and Enceladus. Lighter and more energy-efficient than mechanical drills, it enables deep exploration with minimal power, paving the way for studying icy worlds and their potential for extraterrestrial life.

Scientists recreated cosmic plasma beams at CERN to study why certain gamma rays vanish in space. The results showed the beams remain stable, suggesting ancient intergalactic magnetic fields, not beam collapse, hide the signals. The discovery provides new insight into cosmic jets and the universe’s earliest magnetic traces.

Southern Taurid Meteor Shower 2025 Promises Bright Fireballs in a Rare Swarm Year

Published

By

The Southern Taurid meteor shower peaks overnight on November 4–5, 2025, bringing a rare “swarm year” filled with bright fireballs from Comet Encke’s debris. Skywatchers can expect slow, glowing meteors—some as bright as fireballs—despite interference from the nearly full Moon. Experts predict up to 10 visible Taurid meteors per hour under dark, clear skie…
