The Mare Orientale, Latin for Eastern Sea, is one of the most striking large scale lunar features. The youngest of the large lunar impact basins it's very difficult to see from an earthbound perspective. Still, captured on July 7 during a period of favorable tilt, or libration of the lunar nearside, the Eastern Sea can be found at the upper right in this sharp telescopic view. In the image, the large lunar mare is extremely foreshortened and stretches along the Moon's western edge. Formed by the impact of an asteroid over 3 billion years ago and nearly 1000 kilometers across, the impact basin's concentric circular features are ripples in the lunar crust. But they are a little easier to spot in more direct images of the region taken from lunar orbit. So why is the Eastern Sea at the Moon's western edge? The Mare Orientale lunar feature was named before 1961. That's when the convention labeling east and west on lunar maps was reversed.

Congressmen Neguse and Obernolte Launch Bipartisan Space Weather Caucus

July 8, 2026

Washington, D.C. — Colorado Congressman Joe Neguse and Representative Jay Obernolte (R-CA) announced the launch of the Bipartisan Space Weather Caucus, which aims to advance scientific research on space weather, address security risks, and develop strategies to protect critical infrastructure from space weather-related disruptions. As Co-Chairs Neguse and Obernolte will coordinate with members from across the political spectrum on efforts to ensure resilience against disruptions to GPS systems, emergency response networks, electrical grids, and satellites vital for weather forecasting and telecommunications.

The Caucus also recognizes that space weather poses serious risks to astronauts in space.

The group will support improvements in space weather forecasting to help usher in a new era of American space exploration, enabling astronauts to safely venture beyond Earth’s magnetic field for the first time in generations.

“Colorado is a hub for aerospace, space weather forecasting and scientific research—with folks across our state making ground-breaking advancements in our understanding of how space weather affects different technologies on Earth, including satellite electronics, radio communications, GPS signals, spacecraft orbits, and even electrical power grids. All systems and infrastructure we rely on daily,” said Congressman Neguse.

“As our national security and economy become more dependent on these systems and advanced telecommunication networks, it’s important that we stay ahead of new challenges and enhance our understanding of the constantly changing conditions in the environment in space.

And the Bipartisan Space Weather Caucus aims to do exactly that—ensuring our nation is prepared and ready to lead in the 21st century and beyond.”

“Space weather can disrupt the communications, GPS, electric grid, and satellite systems Americans rely on every day,” said Congressman Obernolte.

“As our economy and national security become increasingly dependent on space-based technology, Congress has an important role to play in supporting better forecasting, research, and preparedness.

I am proud to launch the Bipartisan Space Weather Caucus with Congressman Neguse to help strengthen our resilience and support the future of American space exploration.”

Other members of the Caucus include Representatives George Whitesides (D-CA), Salud Carbajal (D-CA), Nick Begich (R-AK), and Chuck Fleischmann (R-TN).

UFO Files Reveal 1949 Los Alamos ‘Green Fireball’ Mystery

updated Jul 10, 2026 at 10:57 AM EDT

The Trump administration has released newly declassified records detailing a 1949 Los Alamos conference on mysterious “green fireballs,” adding one of the earliest government‑documented UFO investigations to the PURSUE transparency initiative.

The Department of Defense (War) is publishing previously classified UAP (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena) files every few weeks, giving researchers their first direct access to Cold War-era material long sealed inside federal archives.

The release could shape how scientists, historians and national‑security analysts interpret early government attempts to understand unexplained aerial phenomena.

Assistant to the Secretary of War for Public Affairs and Senior Advisor Sean Parnell said the fourth tranche of files is now live on WAR.GOV/UFO, noting that “the Department of War and our agency partners are actively working on the next release of UAP files.”

The newly released transcript shows top Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory physicists—including Dr. Edward Teller, Dr. Norris E. Bradbury, and meteor expert Dr. Lincoln LaPaz—confronting a phenomenon they could not explain.

Airline pilots, federal agents and military personnel had reported bright green objects streaking horizontally across the sky in late 1948 and early 1949.

LaPaz told the group that the December 12, 1948, event he witnessed was “most certainly not a conventional meteorite fall.”

He described a fireball that appeared “in full intensity instantly,” maintained constant brightness, and traveled on a nearly horizontal path before breaking into “bright green” fragments.

Pattern That Defied Known Meteor Behavior

Investigators documented three green‑fireball paths in detail. Each traveled at low altitude—8 to 10 miles—and maintained nearly constant velocity over long horizontal distances.

LaPaz said he could not find “anywhere among meteorists” examples of conventional meteorites behaving this way.

The January 30, 1949, event was tracked by more than 100 observers across New Mexico and West Texas.

The appearance point was southwest of Amarillo, Texas, and the disappearance point was near Lubbock, Texas, with trained observers providing azimuth and elevation measurements within minutes.

LaPaz emphasized that the objects produced no sound, calling it “the most implausible feature of all,” given that meteorites bright enough to be seen at 400 miles typically generate explosive noise and trigger widespread animal alarm—none of which occurred.

Witnesses consistently described the fireballs’ color as a vivid green.

According to the transcript, observers repeatedly selected wavelengths “between 4900 and possibly 5300,” clustering around 5218 angstroms—a hue LaPaz compared to copper salts in a Bunsen burner.

He noted that such coloration was not characteristic of known meteorites, which contain only “the merest trace of copper.”

The transcript captures a moment when the nation’s leading physicists openly acknowledged that the green fireballs did not fit any known natural explanation.

Teller pressed LaPaz on intensity and duration, while investigators described dozens of sightings from airline pilots, military personnel and federal agents.

The release offers an unusually candid view of Cold War‑era scientific uncertainty inside the country’s premier nuclear laboratory—a window into how seriously the government treated unexplained aerial phenomena long before modern UAP programs existed.

On-Orbit Checkouts in Progress for Mission to Boost NASA’s Swift

July 10, 2026 9:29AM

Commissioning is well underway for Katalyst’s robotic servicing spacecraft LINK, which is designed to boost the orbit of NASA’s Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory. After a July 3 launch that delivered LINK into orbit as expected, the spacecraft remains healthy.

The Katalyst team established contact with LINK that same day and began the process known as commissioning, in which they check out the spacecraft’s systems, make any adjustments needed based on how those systems are operating in orbit, and prepare the spacecraft for its mission.

The team quickly worked through a number of standard, early on-orbit procedures, including successful solar array deployment, delivery of power to the spacecraft, and establishing routine communications.

They stabilized the spacecraft after an initial period of excess momentum and enabled autonomous momentum management.

Katalyst is now checking out LINK’s subsystems, including its electric propulsion system, which involves firing the spacecraft’s three xenon-fueled thrusters.

The commissioning process is anticipated to take a few weeks, with flexibility built in to allow the team to pause, assess data, and adjust as needed.

After the commissioning phase, LINK will begin its journey to meet and rendezvous with Swift. Monitor NASA’s Swift blog for continued updates:

NASA Space Telescope Maps Magnetic Fields of ‘Lighthouse’ Pulsar

Jul 09, 2026

Fast facts

A pulsar is a type of neutron star with a strong magnetic field that spins incredibly fast. The pulsar at the center of the Lighthouse Nebula is rotating 16 times per second.

Neutron stars are the leftover cores of massive stars, formed at the end of their life cycles, that possess more mass than the Sun. They are condensed down to the size of a city, making them natural laboratories for studying extreme physics.

Polarization is a property of light that describes the direction of its electric field vibrations. The polarization degree is a measurement of how aligned those vibrations are with each other.

In June 2025, IXPE spent nearly 18 days focused on the Lighthouse Nebula.

Astronomers studied two narrow X-ray offshoots extending from the pulsar to better understand how electrons at nearly the speed of light interact with this energetic system. The longer offshoot is known as the “filament,” and the shorter one is the “trail.”

When high-energy particles from the pulsar collide with the gas of interstellar space, they form a bow shock, like the bow wave formed at the front of a speeding boat. Most particles become trapped behind this bow shock, forming the turbulent trail behind the pulsar.

Researchers have suspected since 2008 that the highest-energy particles escape through this bow shock into interstellar space, flowing along the galaxy’s magnetic field lines to create the nebula’s long, thin filament.

“We wanted to test that theory,” said Jack Dinsmore, undergraduate student at Stanford University, who led the study. “The ‘smoking gun’ would come by measuring the polarization of the light, which indicates the magnetic field direction.

If the magnetic field points along the filament, that confirms that the filament’s particles are flowing along the field.”

One challenge with these measurements is that the Lighthouse Nebula is relatively faint. To address this, IXPE scientists developed advanced analysis methods that use every bit of data, avoiding simplifying steps that could limit information.

With these new tools and the new observations of the Lighthouse, the science team successfully measured the filament’s polarization. These techniques also gave a polarization measurement of the trail, and the pulsar’s emission signal.

Their analysis confirmed with more than 99% confidence that the magnetic field does indeed align with the particles’ flow.

While the parallel direction confirms models for the particle’s motion, the polarization degree was high enough to raise new questions.

“Many of the models for filaments assume strong magnetic turbulence,” said Roger Romani, a Stanford University professor who co-authored this paper. “The high polarization degree we measured indicates lower turbulence than such models require.”

The IXPE observations also showed that the magnetic field responsible for X-ray emission had to be parallel to the trail. However, the authors collected radio frequency observations showing a magnetic field pointing almost exactly perpendicular.

“The striking divergence in magnetic field orientations observed between radio and X-ray wavelengths provides compelling evidence for the highly structured nature of these objects,” said Niccolò Bucciantini of the Italian National Institute for Astrophysics and co-author of the study.

“This marks the first clear indication that particles of different energies occupy distinct regions within the system, hinting at the presence of multiple, and potentially very different, acceleration mechanisms at work.”
