Tiny asteroid C15KM95 discovered hours before 250‑mile flyby, passed below ISS and satellites

Asteroid C15KM95, a sub‑2‑meter object discovered only hours before, made an extremely close flyby of Earth, passing roughly 250 miles (≈400 km) above the surface. The rock traversed beneath numerous satellites — including the ISS — and posed no risk to life or property.

Astronomers praise Starlink and Kuiper but press for rules to govern mega-constellations Astronomers said they were satisfied with steps taken by SpaceX's Starlink and Amazon's Kuiper, but urged regulators to establish clear, enforceable rules to ensure responsible mega‑constellation behaviour as low‑Earth orbit rapidly fills with commercial broadband satellites. They called for international standards and oversight to protect astronomy and orbital sustainability.

Solar 'last gasp' could boost auroras and geomagnetic storms over next two years — risks for satellites, comms and polar flights Solar activity may be getting a 'last gasp' as the Sun declines toward cycle minimum, with experts warning of renewed geomagnetic storms and auroras over the next two years. That uptick could disrupt satellites, high-frequency communications and polar flight operations, especially in vulnerable infrastructure.
