PASADENA, California, June 1, 2026, 10:05 PDT NASA’s Perseverance rover is about to notch a milestone, creeping up on the marathon mark on Mars. So far, the rover has rolled 26.09 miles—just shy of the 26.22-mile marathon distance. Mission manager Robert Hogg figures it’ll break through that threshold in roughly a month. (Cyprus Mail) The achievement marks a shift: Perseverance has moved past simply exploring Jezero Crater’s ancient lakebed. The rover is now outside the crater rim, digging into older rock formations.

WASHINGTON, June 1, 2026, 12:06 EDT A Blue Origin rocket exploded during a static-fire test at Cape Canaveral, damaging the launch pad and now casting doubt on NASA’s Artemis schedule. The New Glenn rocket burst into flames while its engines ran but the vehicle stayed anchored to the ground — a mishap that could stall operations for months.

BEIJING, June 1, 2026, 23:02 (China Standard Time) Reuters analysis of satellite imagery reveals China has constructed over 80 new launch pads, communications nodes, and bunkers clustered around the Hami nuclear missile silo field in Xinjiang.

Δυστυχώς δεν τα κατάφερε τελικά ο 34χρονος Μάριος Οικονόμου, πρώην ποδοσφαιριστής, ο οποίος είχε τραυματιστεί προ ημερών πολύ σοβαρά σε τροχαίο ατύχημα με τη μοτοσυκλέτα του. Όλο αυτό το διάστημα των περίπου 10 ημερών ο Μάριος έδινε τη μάχη του στην Εντατική και όλη η πόλη σύσσωμη εύχονταν να μπορέσει να τα καταφέρει, ευχή που […]

GREENBELT, Maryland, June 1, 2026, 09:02 EDT NASA’s newest Black Marble images indicate that Earth’s nights are lighting up more than before. But the story’s not that simple—big swathes are actually getting darker. Researchers publishing in Nature, working with NASA’s night-light dataset, calculated a net global increase of 16% in artificial nighttime brightness between 2014 and 2022. That figure comes after a gross brightening totaling 34% of the 2014 level, which was partially canceled out by dimming that amounted to 18%.
