The average daily volume of Russian seaborne oil shipments for the four weeks to October 5 was 3. 57 million barrels per day. This comes amid drone attacks on refineries, which are forcing the redirection of supplies to export terminals, straining their capacity.
NASA experts have determined that Venus' clouds are 62% water in the form of hydrates, and not just sulfuric acid. Sulfuric acid accounts for about 22%, and iron compounds have also been detected.
The Full Moon on October 7 in Aries will activate the financial zones of Ukraine's horoscope, which will affect material support and international aid. The astrologer predicts successful operations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the restoration of territories due to the harmonious connection of Mars, Uranus, and Saturn.
Scientists have discovered complex organic molecules in the water geysers of Saturn's moon Enceladus, using data from NASA's Cassini mission. This discovery increases the likelihood that Enceladus is habitable.
SpaceX has announced the flight date for the Starship Flight 11 mega-rocket for October 13 at 7:15 PM ET. The launch will take place from the SpaceX Starbase spaceport in South Texas, with the broadcast starting 30 minutes before launch.
From September 23 to September 30, 2025, 154,000 civil servants left US federal agencies, marking the largest outflow of personnel in almost 80 years. This has led to problems in weather forecasting, food safety, healthcare, and space projects, particularly at NASA.
NASA scientists, using the TESS satellite and the James Webb Space Telescope, have discovered exoplanet WD 1856+534b, which is larger than Jupiter and located in a "forbidden zone" around a dying star. This planet, 5.8 billion years old, is located 82 light-years from Earth and is the coldest exoplanet ever directly observed.
NASA is planning a ten-day crewed lunar expedition around the Moon in February 2026, which will be the first such flight in 50 years. The Artemis II mission will test the rocket and spacecraft systems, flying a record distance beyond the Moon's orbit.
Ukraine plans to form Space Forces by December 31, 2025, as stipulated in the government's action program. By the end of 2025, Ukraine aims to achieve 60% operational readiness of integrated air and missile defense, cyber and space components.
NASA's VIPER rover will search for volatile resources, such as ice, on the Moon's surface, collecting data for future exploration. Blue Origin will deliver VIPER to the Moon in late 2027 using its Blue Moon MK1 lander.
On September 22 at 2:19 PM Kyiv time, the autumn equinox will occur, symbolizing balance and harmony. Astrologer Ksenia Bazylenko spoke about the influence of the solar eclipse and gave a forecast for the Zodiac signs for the week of September 22-28.
Northrop Grumman's Cygnus XL spacecraft's main engine shut down earlier than expected during two burns needed to raise the spacecraft's orbit. This will prevent it from delivering approximately 5,000 kg of cargo and experimental materials to the International Space Station as planned.
The asteroid 2025 FA22, measuring between 130 and 290 meters, will fly past Earth at a distance of 835,000 kilometers. Its flyby can be observed live, although scientists previously believed it could collide with the planet in 2089.
NASA has released a photo of a star cluster taken by the Hubble Space Telescope. The image shows a part of a dwarf galaxy near the Milky Way, where new stars are forming.
NASA's Perseverance rover has found rocks in a dry riverbed on the Red Planet that may contain signs of ancient microscopic life. The rover's instruments detected carbon-based compounds and surface stains, which are often associated with microbial life on Earth.
Astronomers have discovered an object called Capotaur, which may be the oldest galaxy, having emerged 90 million years after the Big Bang. If confirmed, this discovery will change our understanding of the formation of the Universe.
The average water temperature in the Mediterranean Sea in July 2025 reached a record 26. 9 °C, the highest figure ever recorded. This warming, caused by climate change, poses serious risks to marine and coastal ecosystems, scientists warn.
Next week, on September 7-8, a total lunar eclipse will occur, during which the Moon will take on a red hue. This rare phenomenon will last over three hours and will be visible to almost 87% of the Earth's population.
The NISAR satellite, a joint development by NASA and ISRO, has been launched into orbit with the largest reflector antenna. It will track glacier movement, earthquakes, landslides, and deforestation.
