Hours after a Soviet nuclear satellite broke up over Canada in 1978, Moscow’s ambassador said the reactor on board had been designed for complete destruction on re-entry — radioactivity had already fallen across 124,000 square kilometres of the country’s north, searchers located fragments the formal claim recorded as showing “lethal radioactivity,” and Ottawa billed the Soviet Union exactly C$6,041,174.70 The electrically charged gas drifting between the stars rings at a pitch between a few hundred and a few thousand hertz, comfortably inside the range of human hearing, which is why NASA engineers can feed a recording straight from Voyager 1 into an ordinary loudspeaker and listen to interstellar space In 2012, a US spy agency handed NASA two unused Hubble-sized telescope systems that had been sitting in storage in upstate New York — one of their mirrors now forms the heart of Roman, an observatory launching with Hubble-like sharpness across a field at least 100 times larger. Before he was old enough to drive, a 14-year-old talked a university physics department into lending him a sub-basement — the machine he assembled there fused atoms in a plasma hotter than the sun’s core and made him the youngest person ever to achieve nuclear fusion The upper 2,000 metres of the ocean gained an estimated 23 zettajoules of heat in 2025—roughly 39 times all the energy humanity uses in a year—driving ocean heat content to a record for the ninth consecutive year, the longest unbroken streak ever measured. A Galápagos tortoise species was down to 14 known survivors when a worldwide search turned up one more male living at the San Diego Zoo, and after he was shipped to the Galápagos in 1977 to breed, the rangers who carried “Diego” back to his island in 2020 left him among roughly 2,300 wild tortoises Since 2021, Guam power crews have collected electrocuted brown tree snakes for USGS biologists after outages, the invader’s long body bridging two live wires at once and turning a climbing animal into the missing piece of an electrical circuit On August 2, 1994, a squirrel chewed through a power line in Trumbull, Connecticut, and froze the Nasdaq for 34 minutes, the second blackout a squirrel had handed the exchange in seven years, because every trade in America’s electronic market ran through one building on one suburban feeder The most powerful electric thruster currently operating on a NASA spacecraft draws about 4.5 kilowatts as it pushes Psyche toward a metal-rich asteroid. In February 2026, JPL fired a different lithium-fed prototype at 120 kilowatts—more than 25 times the input power—and engineers now want to scale a single thruster to one megawatt. A 2025 study estimated that Titan’s hypothetical 480-kilometre-deep ocean might contain only a few kilograms of microbial carbon if life survives by fermenting surface-delivered glycine—less than one cell per kilogram of water. The search may therefore hinge not only on whether life is there, but whether any mission could ever detect something so sparse.Space News
