- Blue Origin's Launch Challenges: Blue Origin's new Glenn rocket faced multiple delays during its crucial launch carrying NASA's Escapade satellites, which are set to study Mars's magnetosphere. The delays were exacerbated by adverse weather conditions and the aftermath of a powerful geomagnetic storm that affected communications on Earth.
- Powerful Solar Flare Strikes: The sun unleashed an X 5.1 class solar flare, the most intense since 2024, causing significant radio blackouts across parts of Africa and Europe. Concerns rise over a potential coronal mass ejection (CME) associated with the flare, which could lead to a G4 geomagnetic storm watch, affecting electrical grids and satellites.
- First Observations of Stellar CMEs: Astronomers made a groundbreaking discovery by directly observing a coronal mass ejection from a red dwarf star 40 light years away. This finding has significant implications for the search for extraterrestrial life, as the volatile nature of red dwarfs could strip atmospheres from orbiting planets.
- Comet 3I Atlas Update: The interstellar visitor Comet 3I Atlas is becoming increasingly active as it approaches the sun, displaying a longer, more defined ion tail. This offers a rare opportunity to study its composition, providing insights into the conditions of its formation millions of years ago.
- Revealing the Greater Pleiades Complex: Researchers have discovered that the famous Pleiades star cluster is just the core of a much larger structure, the Greater Pleiades Complex, which spans 2,000 light years and contains thousands of stars born from the same stellar nursery. This revelation changes our understanding of the night sky and the connections between stars.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
