NASA Names Jennifer Lyons Acting Launch Services Program Manager

Mar 25, 2026

NASA has selected Jennifer Lyons as acting program manager for the agency’s Launch Services Program (LSP) based at Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

In this role, Lyons will lead NASA’s acquisition and management of domestic commercial launch services for science and robotic exploration missions beginning Wednesday, April 1.

Lyons will oversee mission planning, launch vehicle selection, spacecraft integration, launch processing, launch campaigns, and postlaunch activities.

The program matches spacecraft with the most suitable commercial rockets and ensures mission requirements are met from early planning through launch and mission completion.

It supports NASA missions that observe Earth, explore the solar system, and expand understanding of the universe.

“Jenny brings the kind of flight-readiness discipline and mission-assurance expertise that have defined the program’s 25‑year record of more than 100 successful flights across 15 commercial rocket types,” said Bradley Smith, director of NASA’s Launch Services Office at NASA Headquarters in Washington.

“In addition to being the transportation cornerstone of NASA’s science and robotic exploration missions, commercial launch is also critically important to NASA’s Artemis architecture.

Jenny’s experience in having worked across many NASA projects — from space shuttle to the International Space Station, to Commercial Crew, and partnering with commercial providers — will enable LSP to continue bringing its core launch vehicle capabilities to bear, ensuring successful outcomes.”

Lyons brings nearly four decades of technical, operational, and program leadership experience to the role. She served as the launch services deputy program manager since March 2024 and previously was deputy manager for the Gateway Program’s Deep Space Logistics project.

She has worked with launch services for nearly 20 years and led the Fleet and Systems Management Division for more than a decade, overseeing NASA insight and approval activities related to launch vehicle readiness, certification, and mission assurance across a diverse fleet of commercial rockets.

“I am honored to take on this important role supporting NASA’s science and exploration missions,” said Lyons.

“I am confident our team will remain focused on delivering safe, reliable launch services while strengthening a healthy commercial market that enables discoveries across the solar system and beyond.”

Lyons has received numerous individual achievement, group, and leadership awards. She holds degrees in aerospace and ocean engineering, space technology, and engineering management.

Her career includes a wide range of experiences, including serving as the first woman to act as NASA convoy commander for a space shuttle landing to chairing the source evaluation board for NASA Launch Services II, under which NASA has awarded multiple contracts that support many of the agency’s high-priority missions.

She succeeds Albert Sierra, who led the program since March 2024 and is retiring after 36 years of service with NASA.

Sierra guided the program through five primary missions and numerous venture‑class launches that provided a steady cadence of flights for the agency.

These missions ranged from major weather and Earth‑observing satellites to deep‑space probes, astrophysics and solar‑monitoring observatories, and many CubeSats.

“Leading LSP has been one of the greatest privileges of my career, especially knowing the missions we’ve launched will fuel discovery for years to come,” said Sierra.

“While it’s never easy to step away, I’m confident the program will continue its strong record of mission success under Jenny’s leadership.”

NASA-JAXA’s XRISM Telescope Clocks Hot Wind of Galaxy M82

Mar 25, 2026

For the first time, astronomers have directly measured the speed of superheated gas billowing from a cauldron of stellar activity at the heart of M82, a nearby galaxy undergoing an extraordinary burst of star formation.

The material is moving more than 2 million miles (over 3 million kilometers) per hour and appears to be the primary force driving a cooler, well-studied, galaxy-scale wind.

Researchers made the calculations using data from the Resolve instrument aboard the XRISM (X-ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission) spacecraft.

“The classic model of starburst galaxies like M82 suggests that shock waves from star formation and supernovae near the center heat gas, kick-starting a powerful wind,” said Erin Boettcher, an astrophysicist at the University of Maryland, College Park and NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. “Prior to XRISM, though, we didn’t have the ability to measure the velocities needed to test that hypothesis.

Now we see the gas moving even faster than some models predict, more than enough to drive the wind all the way to the edge of the galaxy.”

A paper about the result, led by Boettcher, published Wednesday, March 25, in Nature.

The XRISM mission is led by JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) in collaboration with NASA, along with contributions from ESA (European Space Agency). NASA and JAXA also codeveloped the Resolve instrument.

Sometimes called the Cigar galaxy, M82 is located 12 million light-years away in the northern constellation Ursa Major. Astronomers classify it as a starburst galaxy because it’s forming stars at a much higher rate than typical for its size — about 10 times faster than the Milky Way.

M82 is well known for its extended, cool wind, which stretches out to 40,000 light-years and propels huge quantities of gas and dust.

Scientists have studied it with many missions, including NASA’s Chandra, Webb, Hubble, and retired Spitzer space telescopes, trying to connect the dots between the stellar activity and the large-scale outflow.

Researchers particularly want to understand the role of cosmic rays. These high-speed charged particles are found throughout the cosmos and are accelerated by some of the same events scientists think produce winds like in M82.

There’s a possibility they are a main source of outward pressure on the gas.

Net Zero Activists Stumped By Shock New Evidence Showing No Link Between CO2 & Temperature Over Last Three Million Years

The climate science world (‘settled’ division) is in shock following the discovery in ancient ice cores that levels of carbon dioxide remained stable as the world plunged into an ice age around 2.7 million years ago. Levels of CO2 at around 250 parts per million (ppm) were said to be lower than often assumed with just a 20 ppm movement recorded for the following near three million-year period. In addition, no changes in methane levels were seen in the entire period. Massive decreases in temperature with occasional interglacial rises appear to have occurred without troubling ‘greenhouse’ gas levels, and this revelation has caused near panic in activist circles.

Edmond de Rothschild Offices Raided in Probe of Epstein Associate

Authorities are investigating a French diplomat who used to work at the bank

PARIS—Police searched the offices of Swiss bank Edmond de Rothschild as part of an investigation into a French diplomat who used to work at the bank and was an associate of Jeffrey Epstein.

The raids took place Friday at Edmond de Rothschild’s offices in central Paris and a number of other locations, said Pascal Prache, the French financial prosecutor.

Comedian Gives Streaming Giant Ultimatum Over Muslim Joke, Says Company Caved

Comedian Mark Normand says he made a streaming giant squirm.

The comedian recounted Monday a call that he had with a streaming service about two weeks prior, in whichthe company pressed him on a joke about Muslims in his special. Normand says he agreed to take the joke off social media — but only if the company agreed that Muslims were a “dangerous people.”

“Hulu sent me, about a week ago, two weeks ago, they said, ‘Send us a couple jokes you like, we’ll chop them up, then use them as promo on social media,'”saidNormand.

The clip is dubbed over so that the audio says “Hulu,” but Normand visibly mouths “Netflix” in the podcast clip. Normand has not publicly announced he’s working with Hulu on a comedy special. His new comedy special, “None Too Pleased,” was released March 17 on Netflix.

“They come back in a week, they go, ‘We gotta do a conference call …They go, ‘Yeah, we got some bad news there. We reviewed the special again. We’d like to take out the Muslim joke.'”

Normand asked them why.

“And they go, ‘Well, last time a comic did a Muslim joke we got bomb threats, we got death threats, they said they were gonna kill us, ruin the whole studio, blow the place up to smithereens, so we’d like to not use the Muslim joke.”

“And I go, ‘Well I like the joke, it kills, it’s a hot joke … So I was like, I gotta fight for the joke here, folks.'”

Normand says the company agreed to keep the joke in the special itself, but wanted it removed from social media.

“And I was like, ‘Okay, okay, I don’t love it but okay, I will take it off on one condition… I go, =I want you to admit, on this call, that they’re a dangerous people==,” Normand said, referring to Muslims.

“And they were like, ‘What, no, what are you, crazy?'”

“And I’m like, ‘You gotta admit it or I’m keeping it, or I’m posting it,” said Normand, adding that he was “half joking.”

“And they go,‘Well, we’re not gonna do that,’ and I go, ‘Why not?’ And they go, ‘Well that’s offensive.”

“And I go, ‘That’s what the call is.You’re calling about this and I just need you to say it out loud’. … But it’s kind of a microcosm of the whole thing. You can say, ‘Hey, I love this group,’ but then you don’t live near them.You know, we’re all talk, we’re all signaling, we’re all virtuous, but you don’t actually act that way. And I think this is a perfect example of that. ‘Hey, we’re scared. Hey, we don’t want to get Hebdo’d. Hey, we’re nervous.’ Okay, well why are you nervous?”

“Hebdo’d” is a reference to French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo. The magazine was the target of three terrorist attacks, presumably because they published cartoons depicting Muhammed. Islamist gunmen killed twelve staff members in 2015. The gunmen reportedly shouted“Allahu akbar” during the attack.

Normand’s point is clear and correct. “The Book Of Mormon” was a smash hit.There is no “Book of Islam,” in part because Broadway types aren’t keen on making fun of Muslims, and in part (I suspect) because no one is keen on getting murdered.

Normandclaims the streaming company eventually “admitted it.”

“I got a Muslim friend, Umar is a big Muz. I don’t give a shit,but it was fun to get a group of HR homos to go, ‘All right, they’re dangerous. We’ll see you later,'” Normand added.

Probably, those human resources employees didn’t expect Normand to share the episode with the public.

Edmond de Rothschild Paris offices raided in Epstein-linked probe into diplomat

Former bank employee alleged to have shared confidential UN documents

Financial prosecutors probe former employee for 'passive corruption'

Bank head Ariane de Rothschild present during raid, source says

PARIS, March 24 (Reuters) - French investigators searched ​the Paris offices of Swiss bank Edmond de Rothschild as part of an inquiry into alleged corruption ‌involving a French diplomat named in documents linked to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, prosecutors said on Tuesday.

The name of Fabrice Aidan, a middle-ranking French diplomat who was seconded to the United Nations from 2006 to 2013 and later worked at the bank, appeared in more than 200 documents ​released by the U.S. Justice Department.

These include emails he is alleged to have sent Epstein between 2010 and 2016 ​from his personal and U.N. accounts.

Some of the emails reviewed by Reuters show the transfer of ⁠U.N. Security Council briefings and other confidential documents to Epstein during that period.

Aidan has denied wrongdoing, and his lawyer did not ​immediately respond to requests for comment.

The French Foreign Ministry said it had completed an administrative investigation, performing about 30 interviews. The ​ministry said all current and former staff members who had been summoned to its investigation had cooperated, adding that it was available to judicial authorities and was considering disciplinary proceedings.

The search was carried out on Friday in the presence of Ariane de Rothschild, the Swiss bank's boss, a source ​close to the bank said.

Edmond de Rothschild was cooperating fully with the justice system in the investigation led by the financial ​prosecutor, the same source said, adding that an internal inquiry had been launched as soon as suspicions emerged concerning the former employee, who worked ‌at the ⁠bank from 2014 to 2016.

A spokesperson for the bank declined to comment.

ACCUSATIONS OF 'PASSIVE CORRUPTION'

The investigation is being led by officers from France's central office against corruption and financial and tax offences, which questioned Aidan in a voluntary interview in late February.

The French financial prosecutor's office said it was investigating accusations of passive corruption of a foreign public official and complicity in that crime, targeting ​Aidan in particular.

When asked if ​it was looking into Epstein ⁠links with the Geneva-based Edmond de Rothschild, Swiss financial regulator Finma said it considered all reliable information in its supervision and conducted in-depth reviews when in doubt about the integrity of business ​activities.

Swiss federal prosecutors did not immediately respond to a request for comment on whether they ​were also investigating. ⁠A spokesperson for the Geneva prosecutor's office declined to comment on whether any measures were taken in the city.

Ariane de Rothschild also appeared in the files released by the U.S. Justice Department in January, which showed she kept up a years-long personal correspondence with Epstein before ⁠his 2019 ​arrest.

After the files were released, a spokesperson for the bank said that Epstein ​was a business acquaintance of de Rothschild from 2013 to 2019. De Rothschild had no knowledge of Epstein's conduct, the spokesperson said.

NASA X-Ray Mission Gets Fresh Look at 2,000-Year-Old Supernova and extra NASA

Mar 24, 2026

NASA’s IXPE (Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer) mission has taken a new observation of a supernova, RCW 86, helping fill in a fuller picture of what other telescopes have observed.

When astronomers using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory previously targeted RCW 86, they discovered that a large “cavity” region around the system led the supernova to expand more rapidly than expected.

The low-density cavity region could have led to RCW 86’s unique shape as well. Now, IXPE has observed the outer rim of this supernova, where its expansion is suspected to have halted at the edge of the “cavity,” creating the reflected shock effect highlighted in purple.

The full image combines IXPE’s data with legacy observations from two other X-ray telescopes: NASA’s Chandra and the ESA (European Space Agency) XMM-Newton telescope.

The yellow represents low-energy X-rays, while blue shows high-energy X-rays detected by Chandra and XMM-Newton. The starfield in the image comes from the National Science Foundation’s National Optical-Infrared Astronomy Research Laboratory (NOIRLab).

Many here for years have been warning the Trump administration to properly use the Justice system to indict and arrest the criminal cabal. From a personal perspective, if that was ever the goal, it would have been done long ago. Compare the speed in which the Democrats blitzkrieged the Republican with multiple arrests including pre-dawn raids with the inactivity of the Trump administration. I have few options as to what is going on. It appears that there never was a goal to bring the guilty to account. When the balance of power returns to Democrat rule; the payback retribution will be immense swift and continuous.

Scientists just narrowed down 45 rocky exoplanets where alien life might actually exist

Last Updated: Mar 25, 2026, 02:18 PM IST

Alien life beyond Earth: After sorting through more than 6,000 known exoplanets, astronomers have picked out 45 rocky worlds that look like the best places to hunt for signs of alien life.

It’s a big shift, instead of scanning the entire cosmic haystack, researchers now have a much tighter, more realistic shortlist to focus on.

The work was led by Lisa Kaltenegger and her team at Cornell University’s Carl Sagan Institute.

Using fresh data from ESA’s Gaia mission, they filtered for rocky planets that might have the right conditions for liquid water, the key ingredient we associate with life as we know it.

They even created a stricter version of the list, and only 24 planets made the cut under those tougher rules.

Telescope time is incredibly limited and expensive. Narrowing the targets like this means future observations can be smarter and more efficient instead of spreading resources too thin.

What Makes a Planet 'Habitable'?

Astronomers start with the habitable zone, that sweet spot around a star where temperatures could allow liquid water to sit on the surface. Too close and it boils away (hello, Venus).

Too far and it freezes solid (like Mars). But rock and water alone aren’t enough. The planet also needs a stable atmosphere, the right kind of star, and a few other lucky breaks.

Some of the most promising candidates are relatively close, just 40 to 50 light-years away. A few even get roughly the same amount of starlight that Earth receives, which feels comfortingly familiar.

Many orbit small, dim red dwarf stars. Those stars make the planets easier to spot and study because the star itself isn’t blindingly bright.

How We’ll Actually Check for Life

The best candidates include transiting planets, ones that pass in front of their star from our point of view.

When that happens, a tiny bit of starlight filters through the planet’s atmosphere, and telescopes like the James Webb Space Telescope can analyze what gases are present.

Others might be studied through direct imaging, where we try to catch the faint glow of the planet itself. The team also looked at planets sitting right on the edges of the habitable zone, some dangerously close to their star, others farther out in the cold.

Observing these edge cases could help us understand exactly where habitability really begins and ends.A few planets have eccentric orbits, swinging closer and farther from their star each year.

That creates wild temperature swings, and seeing how (or if) atmospheres survive those changes will be fascinating.

They even considered age. Out of the planets with reliable data, 24 appear to be older than Earth. An older world might give us clues about long-term atmospheric evolution. Of course, there are challenges.

Many of these planets orbit flare-prone red dwarfs whose violent bursts of radiation could strip away atmospheres or make surface life very difficult. As Kaltenegger herself put it: “Life might be much more versatile than we currently imagine.”

Why This List Actually Matters

This isn’t just another headline-grabbing catalog.

It’s designed for real science, a practical roadmap for the James Webb Space Telescope, the upcoming Roman Space Telescope, giant ground-based observatories, and whatever comes next.

Kaltenegger summed it up nicely: “Our paper reveals where you should travel to find life if we ever built a ‘Hail Mary’ spacecraft.”

Even if we don’t find life right away, every observation will teach us something valuable. Negative results are still useful, they help us refine our instruments, update our theories, and decide where to look next.

For the first time, the search for extraterrestrial life feels a little less like guessing in the dark and a little more like a focused, strategic hunt.

As better data rolls in over the coming years, some of these 45 worlds will likely drop off the list, while others might climb to the very top. And who knows?

One of them just might turn out to be the place where we finally detect that first faint signal of life beyond Earth.

Astronomers Spot Previously Unknown Space ‘Cavity’ That’s Quietly Protecting the Moon

March 25, 2026

Earth has a particularly strong magnetosphere—a bubble-shaped capsule of magnetism—shielding the planet and its inhabitants from solar weather and other space badness.

These protective perks extend to the Moon, whose orbit enters and exits Earth’s magnetosphere. But new research suggests we’ve underestimated how good the magnetosphere is at its job.

In a Science Advances paper published today, researchers say they’ve found strong evidence that an energetic particle “cavity” shaped by Earth’s magnetosphere shields the Moon from harmful cosmic rays—even when the Moon’s orbit is outside the magnetosphere.

The findings come from analyzing recent data collected by China’s Chang’e-4 Moon lander and could inform future space missions, for which radiation exposure remains a threat for astronauts.

“We had expected that the radiation on the lunar surface would be constant when the Moon is not inside the Earth’s magnetosphere,” Robert Wimmer-Schweingruber, the study’s corresponding author and an astrophysicist at Kiel University in Germany, told Gizmodo.

“What we found, however, is that the magnetosphere provides some more shielding than expected.”

Precarious space weather

Solar weather often makes the news for triggering geomagnetic storms and disrupting the grid. But for astronauts in space, galactic cosmic rays are the greatest contributors to radiation exposure, according to Wimmer-Schweingruber.

When powerful events like supernovas propagate shockwaves into space, tiny particles like protons or helium atoms get energized to such an extent that they travel at nearly the speed of light.

They “have so much energy that they penetrate deep into the solar system,” Wimmer-Schweingruber explained. “Some even penetrate the Earth’s magnetosphere, the ‘shield’ provided by the Earth’s magnetic field.”

On the other hand, the Moon enters and exits Earth’s magnetosphere during its 27-day orbit. Up until now, researchers assumed that radiation on the lunar surface would be relatively constant while the Moon wasn’t under the magnetosphere’s protection.

A far-reaching shield

That understanding shifted for the team when Chang’e-4’s data showed a 20% decrease in radiation on the lunar surface during a “pre-noon” period, or when the Moon’s orbit takes it opposite to Earth’s magnetosphere.

To investigate, the team conducted statistical tests on radiative particles in Earth-Moon space for 31 lunar cycles while adjusting for any fluctuations in solar weather.

In addition to Chang’e-4’s data, the researchers also examined trends from NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, whose observations “exhibit a qualitatively similar pattern,” according to the paper.

As a result, they found that an extension of the magnetosphere’s influence (shaded in white in the figure below) offered extra protection for the lunar surface.

“We were, in fact, quite surprised when we saw [the additional shielding],” said Wimmer-Schweingruber. “But in retrospect, it makes absolute sense. We found such an effect, which we had not expected—that’s what research is about.”

Hiding in the cavity

The team believes the findings could have key implications for future space missions.

According to Wimmer-Schweingruber, that 20% decrease in radiation refers to low-energy ions—a “major contributor to skin dose” for astronauts. “After all, our skin is our biggest ‘organ,’” he added.

With the new findings, researchers planning space missions could exploit these extra shielding zones to reduce the impact of radiation on astronauts.

Having said that, Wimmer-Schweingruber told Gizmodo that near the end of Chang’e-4’s mission, the spacecraft captured several solar particle events that increased radiation by “more than a factor of 10.”

Clearly, space weather is complex, and there are more details to be worked out, but the new study is an insightful one, especially as missions like NASA’s Artemis strive to return humanity to the Moon.

“I think it is cool that we are preparing to go back to the Moon,” Wimmer-Schweingruber said. “In some years we will be able to look at it and wonder what the astronauts or taikonauts are doing there right now.

We will probably even be able to follow their activities remotely. This will give us all the possibility to experience the exploration of our nearest neighbor, the Moon.”

"Substantial Negative Mass Anomaly" 1,200 Kilometers Deep Appears To Be Causing Mars To Spin Faster

March 26, 2025

Here's one of the cool things you learn when you land a seismometer on another planet: Mars's days are getting shorter. Or to put it another way, the planet is spinning faster.

That was discovered back in 2023. A team using data from the Rotation and Interior Structure Experiment (RISE) on NASA's InSight Lander on Mars found that the Red Planet’s rotation is accelerating by around 4 milliarcseconds per year², shortening the Martian year by a fraction of a millisecond.

That isn't a whole lot, but it has been a bit of a mystery as to why.

"They have a few ideas, including ice accumulating on the polar caps or post-glacial rebound, where landmasses rise after being buried by ice," a NASA statement explains.

"The shift in a planet’s mass can cause it to accelerate a bit like an ice skater spinning with their arms stretched out, then pulling their arms in."

Now, a new study has proposed that the increase in rotation speed could be due to a "substantial gravity anomaly" around the Tharsis volcanic province on Mars.

The researchers were initially interested in reevaluating how the province, home to the largest volcanoes in the Solar System, came to be.

New data from InSight placed better constraints on the properties of the lithosphere (or the rigid, rocky shell of a rocky planet) and its thermal and mechanical structure, allowing for the researchers to construct better models of the region.

There are other clues to work with.

From the 1970s, tracking data from Mariner 9, Viking 1, and Viking 2 have been used to gain a sense of the gravity strength on Mars, and that has become far more precise since the 1990s with the launch of the Mars Global Surveyor, Mars Odyssey, and the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.

Using data from these spacecraft, scientists have mapped Mar's gravity pretty well, and found a few anomalies.

"The Martian gravity anomalies show a strong correlation with the Tharsis Region," the team explains in their paper.

"The center of a positive free-air anomaly (300–500 mGal) after correcting for most of the rotational flattening is centered in between Ascraeus Mons and Pavonis Mons.

A pronounced negative gravity ring (−200 mGal) surrounds the bulge of the Tharsis Rise."

Does the Q Timex (Q Time X?) NASA 40 mm watch hide more than just a tribute?

March 25, 2026

A familiar silhouette, a logo steeped in history, and an implicit promise: that of an object capable of linking accessible watchmaking to the imagination of space.

Behind this Timex watch, the reference to NASA is not just a marketing argument. It is part of an aesthetic and technical approach that intrigues as much as it invites reflection.

A sturdy case with a controlled retro style

The Q Timex NASA 40 mm features a stainless steel case with balanced proportions. With its 40 mm diameter, it fits into a neo-retro trend inspired by 1970s models, while remaining aligned with modern standards.

The finishing alternates between brushed surfaces and polished touches, enhancing the perceived quality. The choice of a stainless steel link bracelet reinforces this vintage direction.

This bracelet includes a folding clasp system, simple and functional.

The watch offers water resistance up to 50 meters, suitable for everyday use, including splashes or handwashing, without aiming at intensive sports use.

A dial shaped by space heritage

The dial stands out immediately with the presence of the NASA logo, a central element of the watch’s identity. It fits into a balanced visual composition without excess.

The applied indices and contrasting hands ensure proper readability, supported by a subtle luminous treatment. The design favors clarity, with a functional approach faithful to the universe it evokes.

A date window is included, positioned in a classic way, adding utility without altering the overall aesthetic.

A reliable and accessible quartz movement

This watch is powered by a quartz movement, a logical choice given the positioning of the Q Timex range.

This type of movement offers high accuracy and requires little maintenance. Unlike mechanical movements, quartz operates through oscillations regulated by a crystal powered by a battery.

This structure allows for very limited time deviation, usually just a few seconds per month.

Timex prioritizes reliability and ease of use here. Battery replacement is made easier thanks to an accessible case back, a historical signature of the Q Timex collection.

Availability and price: an accessible NASA-licensed watch

The Q Timex NASA 40 mm is available on the brand’s official website as well as through selected authorized retailers.

Its price is around $199, placing it clearly in the accessible segment of the watch market. This pricing reflects a balance between licensed design, build quality, and pragmatic technical choices.

Astronauts may struggle to reproduce in outer space, study suggests — what does that mean for the future of space colonization?

March 26, 2026

A new study found that microgravity simulated on Earth hindered sperm cell movement, egg fertilization and embryo development ‪—‬ findings that have serious implications for the future of space colonization.

When it comes to successful fertilization, zero gravity means zero game, a new study suggests. When looking at sperm and eggs in simulated microgravity, scientists found that this environment hampered sperm navigation, fertilization and embryo development, posing serious challenges for the future of space colonization.

This human, mouse and pig study, published Thursday (March 26) in the journal Communications Biology, revealed that sperm became disoriented, mouse eggs had fewer successful fertilizations, and pig embryos experienced developmental delays, all due to microgravity.

The findings have big implications for building a lasting human presence off Earth. The long-term settlements planned for the moon and Mars depend not just on keeping astronauts alive but on whether people can eventually reproduce there.

Sperm in microgravity

Previous studies have shown that microgravity can impair estrogen production and lower sperm count in mice. But what goes on at a cellular level when the sperm and egg float in near-zero gravity remains unclear.

To simulate microgravity, the researchers used a device called a clinostat machine, which works "by continuously rotating cells or samples in multiple directions, essentially randomising the direction of gravitational pull so rapidly that the cells never get a chance to settle or orient themselves," Nicole McPherson, a researcher who runs the Sperm and Embryo Biology Group at Adelaide University's Robinson Research Institute and the study's senior author, told Live Science via email.

"From the cell's perspective, there is no consistent 'up' or 'down', it experiences a kind of continuous free fall, which closely mimics what living cells experience in the weightlessness of space."

With their space simulator, the researchers added human and mouse sperm to small mazes designed to mimic the female reproductive tract.

In both cases, fewer sperm successfully navigated through the maze in microgravity compared with sperm that moved in Earth's gravity.

"Many of the proteins found on sperm act as mechanosensors, tiny molecular devices that detect physical forces," McPherson said.

"Remove the force of gravity and it stands to reason that these sensors would be thrown off, disrupting the sperm's ability to orient and navigate."

Under normal conditions with Earth's gravitational pull, the female reproductive tract releases the hormone progesterone after ovulation as a chemical signal to help sperm navigate toward the egg, McPherson said.

To try to boost the odds that human sperm would reach the egg in microgravity, the researchers added this hormone to the system.

"It did help to some degree, but the concentrations needed to produce an effect were much higher than what would naturally occur in the female reproductive tract," McPherson said.

In theory, high doses of progesterone could be administered, but McPherson cautioned that more research into safety and efficacy is needed before this hormone could be prescribed as a fertility enhancer for space travelers.

Reduced fertilization and developmental delays

Next, the researchers looked at fertilization and embryo development for mouse and pig eggs. Successful fertilization was 30% lower for mouse eggs and around 15% lower for pig eggs in simulated microgravity, compared with in Earth's gravity.

Six days after insemination, pig embryos showed signs of developmental delays. "After fertilisation, the embryo still needs to implant into the uterine wall," a process that uses gravitational cues to work, McPherson said.

"Then the embryo's cells must organise themselves correctly to eventually form every organ in the body, sustained by a placenta that must function properly for the full duration of pregnancy. Microgravity has the potential to disrupt any or all of these stages."

While these results pose significant challenges for the future of space colonization, they also give scientists better insight into how gravity affects the development of life here on Earth.

"From the moment a sperm begins its journey to the moment an embryo starts to develop, gravity appears to play a role we are only starting to uncover," McPherson said.

"Gravity is not just a backdrop to life, it is deeply embedded in the biological processes that create it."

🚨 RUBIO: THIS WAR WAS LONG OVERDUE

Iran has been at war with the United States for 47 years killing Americans, targeting civilians, and spreading terror across the globe. Other presidents talked. This one is acting.

At their weakest point, the regime is still attacking embassies and civilians. Imagine what they would do with a nuclear weapon. That risk is no longer being tolerated.

The mission is clear: destroy Iran’s naval power, eliminate its missile capabilities, and shut down its ability to produce weapons. And it is happening.

This is not just about America. The world is becoming safer because someone finally chose to confront the threat instead of managing it.

Senior enlisted leaders stress quality of life, readiness

March 25, 2026

Senior enlisted leaders from across the Department of War told lawmakers on the House Committee on Appropriations, March 25, that quality of life is critical to maintaining readiness as Airmen and Guardians continue to operate in demanding environments worldwide.

Those demands place increased pressure on Airmen and Guardians to remain mission-focused, reinforcing the importance of reliable support systems at home and on the installation.

Chief Master Sgt. of the Space Force John F. Bentivegna and Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force David A. Wolfe provided insight on the needs of Airmen and Guardians, emphasizing the importance of sustained investment in people and infrastructure, and how that impacts mission capability.

Wolfe pointed to the direct connection between quality of life and mission execution, noting Airmen are actively engaged in combat operations.

“Right now, as we sit in this hearing, Active, Guard, and Reserve Airmen are in the fight,” Wolfe said. “They are executing decisive combat missions supporting Operation Epic Fury and directly engaging our adversaries to protect our way of life.”

Bentivegna described a parallel reality for Guardians, whose mission requires continuous global operations.

“Our Guardians are the invisible front line,” Bentivegna said. “Their professional focus is deeply connected to the stability of their family and community life.”

Wolfe emphasized that mission success depends on Airmen being able to focus without distraction.

“When a maintainer in Kuwait is worried about her son who is unable to receive specialized care for his autism spectrum diagnosis, or a cyber operator working a 12-hour shift is concerned about his faulty water heater in privatized housing, their focus is compromised,” Wolfe said. “That is a risk we simply cannot afford.”

Bentivegna said addressing quality-of-life challenges is essential to maintaining mission focus for Guardians.

“By addressing barriers such as accessible childcare, spousal employment stability and access to quality healthcare, we build a resilient force that can focus on the mission,” Bentivegna said.

Wolfe tied that focus directly to readiness, emphasizing that advanced capabilities depend on the people operating and sustaining them.

“A sixth-generation fighter jet is an impressive machine, but it will sit useless on the runway without the highly trained and motivated human weapon system ready to fly, fix and support it,” Wolfe said.

“The most critical system upgrade we can make is one which invests in the readiness and resilience of the human weapon system itself.”

Bentivegna said that same investment is critical as the Space Force grows to meet increasing mission demands.

“To continue to meet the threats of today and tomorrow, the Space Force must double in size,” Bentivegna said.

“To accomplish this, we need continued competitive and responsive compensation for service members, as well as a consistent quality of life.”

The discussion also addressed strain across the force and the need for modern infrastructure.

“Our maintainers are working miracles to keep our aging fleet in the air,” Wolfe said. “But miracles cannot be our primary sustainment strategy.”

Bentivegna emphasized the need to modernize infrastructure to support a growing and evolving force.

“Our missions are evolving quickly, but much of our infrastructure remains rooted in the past,” Bentivegna said.

“We must be able to keep pace with the demands of a growing force and enable Guardians to train for and execute in a contested, multi-domain environment.”

The testimony reflects the Department of the Air Force’s broader effort to align resources with strategic priorities, ensuring Airmen and Guardians are equipped, trained and supported to meet evolving mission demands.

Ukrainian drone attack plot on Russian airbase thwarted – FSB

Updated 26 Mar, 2026 12:35

Russian authorities have thwarted a suspected Ukrainian plot to carry out a short-range drone attack on an airbase in Saratov Region, officials said on Thursday.

A Russian citizen has been detained after being caught with a bag containing equipment intended for the operation, the Federal Security Service (FSB) said in a statement.

The seized items reportedly included two first-person-view drones, a pair of anti-tank grenades, detonators, around 600 grams of plastic explosives, and a relay device designed to enable remote control of the drones from a large distance.

According to investigators, Ukraine’s military intelligence agency (HUR) instructed the suspect – described as a man in his mid-50s – to prepare the drones, hide them roughly 10 km from the targeted facility, and leave the area before the strike was initiated remotely.

The man admitted he agreed to participate for financial compensation and reportedly intended to leave Russia after carrying out the order. He has been charged with involvement in a terrorist conspiracy.

The alleged plot was foiled jointly by the FSB, the Investigative Committee, the Interior Ministry, and the National Guard. The Russian authorities did not disclose the specific airbase that was targeted.

Saratov Region is home to several air force installations, including the Engels airbase, which hosts elements of Russia’s long-range bomber fleet.

Both Russia and Ukraine have conducted strikes deep behind enemy lines as part of the ongoing conflict. Ukrainian forces have increasingly targeted Russian energy infrastructure, including oil refineries and port facilities, aiming to inflict economic damage.

Moscow has said such actions have led it to expand its list of targets in Ukraine to include energy facilities linked to weapons production, particularly those involved in manufacturing long-range drones.

Russian officials have also accused Ukrainian intelligence services of carrying out a broad range of covert operations inside Russia, including targeted killings and suicide bombing attacks on security personnel.

These activities often involve individuals recruited online, some motivated by ideology or financial incentives, and others coerced into criminal actions through scam tactics.

central bankers used this to smash gold

Turkey Dumped 58 Tons Of Gold After Iran War Started, Slamming Price

There has been much speculation about the mystery seller(s) that sent gold sliding into a bear market from its January high: was it a sovereign seeking to plug holes in their budget from the recent surge in oil, a "market maker" trying to spark stop loss liquidations, or just retail investors taking profit after one of the best years in history for the precious metal?

Today we learned the identity of at least one of the sellers: Turkey’s central bank sold and swapped about 60 tons of gold, worth more than $8 billion, or more than 10% of the country's total holdings, in two weeks after the start of the war in Iran, adding to the sharp downward pressure on bullion prices.

Turkish gold reserves showed a decline of 6 tons in the week of March 13 and another 52.4 tons in the week of March 20, marking a sharp drawdown in reserves, according to the latest data published by the central bank. While the composition of the sales is unclear, some of that was sold outright, while the majority was used to secure foreign exchange or liras via swap agreements, according to Bloomberg. It’s not uncommon for central banks to sell spot gold and simultaneously agree to buy it back in the future via swap agreements, effectively a gold-collateralized USD loan, which grants the country cheap dollar funding using the precious metal as collateral.

Pezeshkian has thanked Russia for its support, saying messages from President Vladimir Putin and the Russian people are a “source of encouragement” in these “historic days.” In a post on X, published in Russian, he said Iran’s resistance has transformed regional relations and that “from now on, the security of West Asia will be ensured by the countries of the region.”

Moscow has condemned the US‑Israeli bombing campaign against Iran as a “premeditated and unprovoked act of aggression.” In a call with Pezeshkian in early March, Putin described the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as a “cynical violation” of morality and international law.

Israel used US-made white phosphorus munitions in Lebanon attack – WaPoREAD MORE: Israel used US-made white phosphorus munitions in Lebanon attack – WaPo

Israeli forces have carried out artillery shelling using phosphorus munitions against several towns in southern Lebanon, state‑run National News Agency has claimed. The strikes reportedly hit areas facing Israeli troop movements, including Deir Seryan, Qantara, Yohmor al‑Shaqif, Zawtar, Froun, Ghandoorieh and Borj Qalaouiye, with no immediate information on casualties or damage.

International law prohibits the use of incendiary weapons such as white phosphorus against civilians or in populated areas.

17:09 GMT

Any lasting ceasefire would require an end to “aggression and terror,” concrete guarantees against a repeat of war, full compensation for damages, and respect for Iran’s legal authority in the Strait of Hormuz to safeguard international maritime security, according to Kazem Jalali, Iran’s ambassador to Russia.

In a post on X, Jalali said Iran would continue to exercise its “inherent right” to self-defense until the source of threats is completely removed, adding that a stable truce depends on meeting these conditions.

16:56 GMT

Asked by reporters whether his Friday deadline still stands for Iran to accept a US proposal or face strikes on its power plants, Trump said, “I don’t know yet.” He previously threatened to “obliterate” Iran’s power network if it did not reopen the Strait of Hormuz, but later announced a five-day delay in strikes, citing “very good and productive” talks. Iranian officials have accused Trump of trying to push energy prices down and buy time.

16:43 GMT

The IDF says it has carried out a “series of strikes” against sites allegedly linked to the IRGC and Hezbollah in southern Lebanon and around the Syrian city of Homs. In a post on X, the military said the targets included “military infrastructure” and operational facilities belonging to the groups.

Asked whether the US is considering taking control of Iran’s oil, Trump replied that he “wouldn’t talk about it,” but added that “it’s an option,” suggesting Washington has not ruled out moves against the country’s energy sector.

16:25 GMT

Trump has claimed that Iran sent him “eight big boats of oil” as a “present,” saying Tehran later “apologized for something they said and sent two more boats.” Addressing US envoy Steve Witkoff, who he has tasked with talks on Iran, Trump joked: “I hope I haven’t screwed up your negotiation.”

15:57 GMT

The Iranian military spokesman has urged Gulf states to expel US forces from their bases, warning that otherwise, “we will cause more damage.”

Tehran “does not want the blood of Muslims to be spilled for no reason,” he said.

15:43 GMT

There are “strong signs” Iran could be convinced to make a peace deal, US envoy Steve Witkoff has told a cabinet meeting.

”We will see where things lead, and if we can convince Iran that this is the inflection point with no good alternatives for them, other than more death and destruction,” Witkoff said, pinning the blame on Iran for “stalling talks” and rejecting US negotiation requests.

15:29 GMT

Trump claims Iran is “begging to make a deal” to stop the war. Speaking at the White House, the US President said that he is unsure if he is willing to agree to a ceasefire, stating that “we are absolutely obliterating Iran.”

Putin Issues Some Frank Thoughts On 'Unpredictable' Iran War

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday delivered some rare, wide-ranging and frank commentary on the US-Israeli war against Iran.

He compared the war and the Hormuz Strait closure, and subsequent impact on global energy, to the massive widescale impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. But he also stated that outcomes to the war are at this point too hard to predict.

The conflict, Putin explained, is now resulting in significant damage to international logistics, production and supply chains while putting intense pressure on hydrocarbon, metals and fertilizer companies - according to a translation in Reuters.

"The consequences of the conflict in the Middle East are still difficult to accurately predict," Putin said before a conference of business leaders in Moscow. "It seems to me that those who are involved in the conflict cannot predict anything themselves, but for us it is even more difficult," he observed.

"However, there are already estimates that they can be compared with the coronavirus epidemic," Putin said. "Let me remind you that it has dramatically slowed down the development of all regions and continents, without exception."

There are reports circulating that earlier this week Putin highlighted the West's double standard when it comes to Ukraine, in comparison to raging Iran war, which is about to reach its first month.

In refence to the Western allies, Putin stated: "They signed all sorts of letters at the start of the Ukraine conflict. Yet these lovers of the epistolary arts haven't written anything about the current tragic events."

Putin's spokesman has meanwhile on Thursday addressed many of what he called "lies" related to Moscow's role in the Iran war.

"There are so many lies being spread by the media… Do not pay attention to them," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters in response to an AFP question on Russia supplying Tehran with drones.
