Russian Scientists Recreate "Dust Devils" on Mars in Laboratory

Russian scientists successfully recreated "dust devils" on Mars in a laboratory setting. They conducted research using a 3D-printed camera and two types of sand: silicate and magnetite.

The experiment's findings showed that the frequency and intensity of the dust whirls are influenced by the particle size and the specific type of sand used. This breakthrough could help scientists predict storm intensity on Mars and develop new theories regarding the composition of the planet's surface.

Massive Stellar Stream Discovered From Galaxy M61 in Virgo Cluster The Vera Rubin Observatory has made a significant discovery of a massive stellar stream originating from the galaxy M61 in the Virgo Cluster. This stream, spanning approximately 163,000 light-years, comprises the remains of a dwarf galaxy that was absorbed by M61. These streams are a result of gravitational forces, pulling stars into elongated formations. The imagery capturing this phenomenon is a combination of data from the Vera Rubin Observatory, showcasing the stream extending to the right of the galaxy, and a color image of the galaxy itself, captured by the PHANGS observatory. This composite image provides a detailed view of the stellar stream and the galaxy, offering insights into the dynamics of interactions between galaxies within the Virgo Cluster.

Global Space Launches in October 2025 In October 2025, there were a total of 25 orbital space launches worldwide, all of which were successful. The United States led with 16 launches, including one from New Zealand. China conducted 8 launches, Japan had one, and other countries had no launches. Vandenberg Air Force Base in California was the busiest U.S. site with 8 launches, followed by Cape Canaveral in Florida with 7 launches. China's Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center had 3 launches, while other sites were used less frequently. The Falcon-9 was the most popular rocket with 15 launches, followed by the Long March family with 6 launches. If this pace continues, 2025 could see over 300 launches, making the goal of 300 launches achievable.

Giant Solar Prominence Recorded by Japanese Observatory A giant solar prominence, towering approximately 600,000 km in height, was observed by the Japanese Norikura Observatory on July 21, 1992. The recorded solar prominence, a massive eruption of plasma from the Sun's surface, was a notable event due to its significant size and the detailed observation capabilities of the Norikura Observatory. Observing such solar phenomena is crucial for understanding the Sun's behavior and its impact on space weather.

Red Spider Nebula Revealed by James Webb Telescope The planetary nebula Red Spider (NGC 6537) has been captured in a new image by the James Webb Telescope, showcasing the final stages of Sun-like stars' evolution. When these stars become red giants, they shed outer layers, exposing their hot cores that transform into white dwarfs. The central star's ultraviolet radiation ionizes the ejected matter, causing it to glow, a phase that lasts tens of thousands of years. In the image, the central star of the Red Spider shines brighter than the surrounding dust and gas threads, resembling a "web-like" structure. While only one star is visible at the Nebula's center, there might be a concealed companion star nearby. The potential presence of this stellar pair could elucidate the distinct narrow "waist" and expansive nebular outflows observed in the Red Spider Nebula.
