How orbital satellite megaconstellations could change astronomy forever

Observing the universe has always depended on dark skies, long exposures, and instruments designed to capture signals that are often barely distinguishable from background noise. This delicate balance is beginning to shift as satellite megaconstellations expand across low Earth orbit, increasing both in number and operational complexity. These networks support global communication services, navigation systems,…

A second moon for Earth? NASA’s quasi-moon begins its 50-year orbital journey around our planet until 2038 |

Astronomers have found that Earth has acquired a new cosmic partner, a tiny asteroid named 2025 PN7, which will orbit with our planet for approximately 50 years. Though described by some as a “mini-moon,” scientists clarify that it is not actually a satellite like our Moon. Rather, it’s a quasi-moon, an uncommon variety of asteroid…
