Environmental groups sue to block Trump administration land swap granting SpaceX 700+ acres for Starbase expansion in Texas Three environmental groups and a tribe asked a federal judge to set aside the Trump administration’s decision to exchange more than 700 acres (280 hectares) of national wildlife refuge land with SpaceX. The plaintiffs argue the move would worsen ecological risks on the Gulf Coast and enable Starbase expansion.

JWST “Little Red Dots” take shape: evidence they’re black-hole feeding bursts Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope report its strongest spectrum-based evidence yet that the early-universe “little red dots” may be black holes. A theoretical study further argues the objects could correspond to black hole feeding episodes occurring in rare nuclear bursts.

NASA’s Habitable Worlds Observatory planning: study tests how it could detect biosignatures in an “ancient Earth” atmosphere NASA is building the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) to search for signs of life on nearby planets. A new study modeled whether HWO could confidently detect atmospheric biosignatures by comparing observations against an “ancient Earth” reference, focusing on the interpretability of biosignature signals.

“2-in-1” monopropellant propulsion concept targets Mars transfer with shared feeds for electric and chemical thrusters A new in-space test will validate a combined propulsion architecture that routes the same monopropellant fuel into both electrical and chemical thrusters. The approach is designed to cut spacecraft mass and reduce propulsion-system complexity, aiming to improve feasibility for future Mars missions.
