NASA Black Marble Shows Earth’s Night Lights Growing — With Exceptions
Washington, June 6, 2026, 14:06 EDT NASA’s latest Black Marble images paint a more complex picture of Earth’s nightscape. Some areas are lighting up due to electrification and development, but elsewhere, lights have faded—whether from war, changes in energy policy, economic strain, or shifts to more efficient lighting. The planet’s nighttime glow, in other words, is flickering rather than simply brightening. (Space) Why does it matter?

After Psyche’s Mars Flyby, NASA Watches the Data Return
Pasadena, California, June 6, 2026, 07:02 PDT NASA’s Psyche probe has swung past Mars, completing its gravity-assist slingshot on May 15—brushing just 2,864 miles above the Martian surface and sending back new shots of the Red Planet. That maneuver didn’t just juice its speed for the long trip to a metal-rich asteroid; it doubled as a shakeout for the science instruments, giving engineers a live-fire test ahead of the main mission. (Gizmodo) Psyche just cleared its final big planetary handoff ahead of the 2029 asteroid rendezvous.
