“Nighttime Symphony: Europe & the Mediterranean from Space”-(Aug. 30, 2025)

iss073e0686732 (Aug. 30, 2025) — The atmospheric glow blankets southern Europe and the northwestern Mediterranean coast, outlined by city lights. At left, the Po Valley urban corridor in Italy shines with the metropolitan areas of Milan and Turin and their surrounding suburbs. This photograph was taken at approximately 1:39 a.m. local time from the International Space Station as it orbited 261 miles above Earth. -
“The Cosmic Pinnacle: Hubble’s Towering Carina Nebula in Flames of Creation”

This craggy fantasy mountaintop, enshrouded by wispy clouds, is like a bizarre landscape from Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings. The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image, which is even more dramatic than fiction, captures the chaotic activity atop a pillar of gas and dust, three light-years tall, which is being eaten away by the brilliant light from nearby bright stars. The pillar is also being assaulted from within, as infant stars buried inside it fire off jets of gas that can be seen streaming from towering peaks. This turbulent cosmic pinnacle within a tempestuous stellar nursery called the Carina Nebula, located 7500 light-years away in the southern constellation of Carina. The image celebrates the 20th anniversary of Hubble’s launch and deployment into orbit around the Earth. Scorching radiation and fast winds (streams of charged particles) from super-hot newborn stars in the nebula are shaping and compressing the pillar, causing new stars to form within it. Streamers of hot ionised gas can be seen flowing off the ridges of the structure, and wispy veils of gas and dust, illuminated by starlight, float around its towering peaks. The denser parts of the pillar are resisting being eroded by radiation. Nestled inside this dense mountain are fledgling stars. Long streamers of gas can be seen shooting in opposite directions from the pedestal at the top of the image. Another pair of jets is visible at another peak near the centre of the image. These jets (known as HH 901 and HH 902, respectively) are signposts for new star birth and are launched by swirling gas and dust discs around the young stars, which allow material to slowly accrete onto the stellar surfaces. Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3 observed the pillar on 1-2 February 2010. The colours in this composite image correspond to the glow of oxygen (blue), hydrogen and nitrogen (green), and sulphur (red). -
A satellite galaxy of the Milky Way, approximately 163,000 light-years away.

This image is one of the most photogenic examples of the many turbulent stellar nurseries the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has observed during its 30-year lifetime. The portrait features the giant nebula NGC 2014 and its neighbor NGC 2020, which together form part of a vast star-forming region in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way, approximately 163,000 light-years away. -

Breakthroughs in Space Weather, Earth’s Safety & Solar Science

NASA’s SpaceX IMAP Liftoff
NASA ID: KSC-20250924-PH-BAE01_0003
A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket carrying NASA’s IMAP (Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe), the agency’s Carruthers Geocorona Observatory, and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Space Weather Follow On–Lagrange 1 (SWFO-L1) spacecraft lifts off from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 7:30 a.m. EDT Wednesday, Sept. 24, 2025. The missions will each focus on different effects of the solar wind — the continuous stream of particles emitted by the Sun — and space weather — the changing conditions in space driven by the Sun — from their origins at the Sun to their farthest reaches, billions of miles away at the edge of our solar system.

String Theory, the most ambitious scientific attempts to unify all forces of nature.
Origins of String Theory
1968 – The Spark
-
Gabriele Veneziano (Italy) discovers the Veneziano amplitude, a formula describing strong nuclear interactions.
-
This became the first clue that strings could underlie particle physics.
1970 – The String Interpretation
-
Yoichiro Nambu (Japan), Leonard Susskind (USA), and Holger Bech Nielsen (Denmark) show that Veneziano’s formula works if particles are seen as tiny vibrating strings, not points.
1974 – A New Vision
-
John Schwarz (USA) and Joel Scherk (France) propose that string theory naturally includes gravity, making it a candidate for a “theory of everything.”
1980s–1990s – Superstring Revolution
-
Development of superstring theory with 5 consistent versions.
-
The discovery of M-Theory (Edward Witten, 1995) unified them into one framework.
