NASA launched its Roman Space Telescope from Kennedy Space Center aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket on Sunday to create an unprecedented map of the cosmos and address major physics mysteries. The telescope, standing over 12 meters tall and developed over more than a decade at a cost topping $4 billion, is named after pioneering astronomer Nancy Grace Roman, known as the "Mother of Hubble."

A rare total solar eclipse crossed Russia's Arctic north on Wednesday and is heading toward mainland Europe, with Spain experiencing the phenomenon for the first time in over a century and mainland Europe in 20 years.
Rising lake waters in Kenya's Rift Valley, driven by extreme rainfall linked to climate change, have forced tens of thousands of people to higher ground, while crocodiles and other wildlife move into inhabited areas and pose increasing danger to families and local businesses.
A total solar eclipse will occur on August 12, when the Moon completely covers the Sun across northern Spain—the first total eclipse visible in mainland Europe since 2006. Eclipses occur when the Moon passes directly between the Sun and Earth, casting a shadow and creating brief twilight conditions with dropped temperatures and unusual shadow angles.
The Kenya Space Agency will on August 5 host Kenya's first live communication between a Kenyan audience and an astronaut aboard the International Space Station through the Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) programme. The event aims to inspire students, educators and the public to explore careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics while showcasing Kenya's expanding space sector.
A total solar eclipse will occur on August 12, 2026, across northern Spain, the first visible in mainland Europe since 2006. The Moon will completely cover the Sun, creating a brief twilight effect as it passes directly between the Sun and Earth.
NASA launched a robotic mission on Friday to prevent its ageing Swift space telescope from burning up in the atmosphere. The unprecedented $30 million effort, developed by American startup Katalyst and launched by a small rocket named Pegasus, is expected to last several months and could pave the way for giving other satellites a second life.
NASA head Jared Isaacman challenged Team USA to win the 2026 World Cup, promising to send a soccer ball to the Moon if they do. The pledge echoes astronaut Alan Shepard's 1971 golf shots on the Moon and NASA's prior shipment of a FIFA ball to the International Space Station.
A Standard opinion piece profiles Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale's political career and argues that his apology over Ebola remarks represents a rare departure from his typically unfiltered communication style.
A meteor broke apart over northeastern Massachusetts and southeastern New Hampshire at 2:06 pm on Saturday, NASA said, releasing energy equivalent to 300 tons of TNT and creating loud booms that shook houses across the region.
