The findings highlight rising risks to navigation, timing, and even satellite operations in jammed corridors. Satellites confirm El Niño’s return - NASA Earth Observatory imagery and NOAA analysis indicate El Niño is underway, with persistent warmer-than-average waters across the equatorial Pacific. Satellite measurements of sea surface temperature and sea level provide early warning for global weather shifts that can affect floods, droughts, and agriculture. Ariane 6 lofts record payload - Europe’s Ariane 6 launched 36 Amazon Leo broadband satellites in its heaviest Ariane payload ever, marking a major milestone for the rocket’s growing commercial cadence. The mission underscores both the promise of global satellite internet and the increasing crowding of low Earth orbit. Possible supernova remnant near core - NASA’s Astronomy Picture of the Day showcased a candidate supernova remnant near the Milky Way’s crowded Galactic Center, seen in Pan-STARRS optical data. If confirmed, it offers clues about recent stellar explosions, element recycling, and energetic processes near our galaxy’s core. Dragon returns ISS research sam…
