SCMP stated this latest achievement of 100Gbps transmission rate is said to be equivalent to transmitting ten full-length movies within a “single second.”

This development in satellite-to-ground laser communication will significantly enhance China’s space capabilities. It will pave the way for improved satellite infrastructure, including navigation, 6G internet, and remote sensing.

A new episode of Robots In Space will premiere on Saturday, January 4th at 1 PM PT.

The topic is the mysterious Noctis Labyrinthus — Labyrinth of Night — on Mars! Mars Express is one of the spacecraft investigating it.


Discover why Noctis Labyrinthus could be humanity’s future home on Mars! Join aerospace engineer Mike DiVerde as he analyzes groundbreaking research from three Mars orbital missions that revealed extensive water systems in this equatorial region. Using data from Mars Express, MRO, and Mars Global Surveyor, learn how ancient groundwater shaped this mysterious labyrinth of canyons near the massive Tharsis volcanoes. This comprehensive analysis explains why Noctis Labyrinthus, with its potential subsurface water, caves, and strategic location, might be the perfect site for future Mars colonization. Whether you’re passionate about Mars exploration or curious about humanity’s next giant leap, this evidence-based examination of Mars geology and potential habitable zones will change how you think about settling the Red Planet.

Dust storms on Mars could one day pose dangers to human astronauts, damaging equipment and burying solar panels. New research gets closer to predicting when extreme weather might erupt on the Red Planet.

Today’s weather report on Mars: Windy with a chance of catastrophic dust storms blotting out the sky.

In a new study, planetary scientists at the University of Colorado Boulder have begun to unravel the factors that kick off major dust storms on Mars — weather events that sometimes engulf the entire planet in swirling grit. The team discovered that relatively warm and sunny days may help to trigger them.

Astronomy enthusiasts, brace yourselves for a dazzling display as the Quadrantids, the first meteor shower of 2025, light up the sky.

The Quadrantids are unique among meteor showers as they originate from debris left by an asteroid, rather than a comet. This shower, best viewed in the Northern Hemisphere, is renowned for its bright fireballs and has been described by NASA as one of the strongest and most consistent meteor showers of the year. However, the peak visibility window is relatively short, lasting just six hours on the night of Jan. 2 into Jan. 3, and winter weather conditions such as frigid temperatures and overcast skies may challenge observers.

The Quadrantids are named after Quadrans Muralis, an 18th-century constellation astronomers no longer use. Both the constellation and the shower are named after an instrument called the quadrant, which was once used to measure the altitudes of stars and other bodies in the night sky.

Every second, 60 billion neutrinos pass through your thumbnail from the Sun alone!

Neutrino Detectors and the Pacific Ocean Experiment

In the search to understand the cosmos, neutrinos—subatomic particles created in nuclear reactions—have become critical clues to some of physics’ most complex questions. Produced in vast quantities by processes such as nuclear fusion in the Sun, neutrinos are hard to capture due to their weak interactions with matter. On Earth, advanced detectors have been built to study them, including Japan’s Kamiokande and the IceCube Neutrino Observatory in Antarctica. Now, astronomers are setting their sights on a new frontier for neutrino observation: the depths of the Pacific Ocean.
