NASA Launching Rockets Into Radio-Disrupting CloudsNASA is launching rockets from a remote Pacific island to study mysterious, high-altitude cloud-like structures that can disrupt critical communication systems. The mission, called Sporadic-E ElectroDynamics, or SEED, opens its three-week launch window from Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands on Friday, June 13. The atmospheric features SEED is studying are known as Sporadic-E layers, […]
Why space wrecks the human bodyIn this week's episode of Space Minds, we explore how microgravity accelerates aging—and guest Dr. Nadia Maroouf shares her insights on the phenomenon and what she’s doing to help protect astronauts.

NASA’s Webb ‘UNCOVERs’ Galaxy Population Driving Cosmic RenovationAstronomers using data from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have identified dozens of small galaxies that played a starring role in a cosmic makeover that transformed the early universe into the one we know today. “When it comes to producing ultraviolet light, these small galaxies punch well above their weight,” said Isak Wold, an assistant […]
I Am Artemis: Ernesto GarciaListen to this audio excerpt from Ernesto Garcia, Rayotech Scientific engineering manager: My name is Ernesto Garcia, and I am an engineering manager at Rayotech Scientific in San Diego, in charge of fabricating the windowpanes for the Orion spacecraft. Fabricating Orion’s windowpanes entails a very strict manufacturing process. It involves first starting from a giant […]
Launch HN: BitBoard (YC P25) – AI agents for healthcare back-officesHi HN! We’re Connor and Ambar, and we’re working on BitBoard (https://bitboard.work). We build AI agents that handle repetitive administrative tasks in healthcare clinics like filling out intake forms, prepping charts, or managing referrals.We were early employees at Forward, which provided primary care across the US. To scale this, we relied on thousands of remote contractors to do repetitive administrative work like reconciling patient records, and scheduling follow-ups based on care plans. It was a huge bottleneck—expensive, error-prone, and always pulling attention away from clinical care. Our software solutions were always too brittle, never managing to handle the variance of clinical data we oversaw.AI, when applied well, is capable of performing a lot of the tasks we manually did. So we decided to take another crack at the problem by building today what we would have liked to have back then, and to help clinics use it.Clinics send us their SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures—for
NASA’s Ready-to-Use Dataset Details Land Motion Across North AmericaAn online tool maps measurements and enables non-experts to understand earthquakes, subsidence, landslides, and other types of land motion. NASA is collaborating with the Alaska Satellite Facility in Fairbanks to create a powerful web-based tool that will show the movement of land across North America down to less than an inch. The online portal and […]
Show HN: Instant video edits with local Whisper models (macOS)Hi HN, I’m Ben, long time web developer but this is my first time building a macOS app. I film a lot of tutorial and talking-head content and wanted to make it easier to chop out mistakes. So I built CutWord, a macOS app that lets you mark cue points with voice commands while you’re recording.Once the app downloads a Whisper model everything runs locally, so nothing leaves your machine. You can export a trimmed video directly from the app or export a FCPXML file that can be imported into Final Cut or DaVinci Resolve for finishing. Built with SwiftUI and AVFoundation.TestFlight: https://testflight.apple.com/join/2BdJhDUc (no account required beyond the usual TestFlight stuff).Website: https://cutword.comHonest feedback and criticism welcomed, thanks for checking it out!

The Blue Danube Waltz sent into the starsOn 31 May, a live performance of The Blue Danube – often referred to as the ‘anthem of space’ – was transmitted by the European Space Agency (ESA) into the vastness of space. The event marked a double celebration: ESA’s 50th anniversary and the 200th birthday of the King of Waltz Johann Strauss II.
NASA withdraws support for conferencesA space station research conference has been canceled and the future of a long-running planetary science conference is in doubt as NASA pulls back support for those events. The post NASA withdraws support for conferences appeared first on SpaceNews.
Hubble Captures Cotton Candy CloudsThis NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image features a sparkling cloudscape from one of the Milky Way’s galactic neighbors, a dwarf galaxy called the Large Magellanic Cloud. Located 160,000 light-years away in the constellations Dorado and Mensa, the Large Magellanic Cloud is the largest of the Milky Way’s many small satellite galaxies. This view of dusty gas clouds […]
Tall ship brings ESA ocean science training to NiceAfter an extraordinary six-week voyage from northern Norway, the iconic Norwegian tall ship Statsraad Lehmkuhl has docked in Nice, France, concluding ESA’s 2025 Advanced Ocean Training course. Braving everything from wild storms to calm near-freezing seas, students aboard mastered techniques for collecting ocean measurements and harnessed satellite data to unlock insights into our blue planet.

Show HN: I build one absurd web project every monthI’ve been building absurd, mostly useless web projects for fun — and I publish one every month at absurd.website.These are deliberately non-functional, weird, sometimes funny, sometimes philosophical — and usually totally unnecessary.Some examples:Sexy Math — solve math problems to reveal erotic images.Trip to Mars — a real-time simulation that takes 7 months to finish.Add Luck to Your e-Store — add a waving cat widget to boost your conversion via superstition.Microtasks for Meatbags — the future: AI gives prompts, humans execute.Invisible Lingerie — it’s sexy. And invisible.Artist Death Tracker — art prices spike when artists die. We track that.Open Celebrity — one open-source face, shared by all. Together we make her famous.I just enjoy exploring what the web can be when it doesn’t try to be “useful”.Would love to hear what you think — and absurd ideas are always welcome.
