Although humans are to blame for much of the ozone layer's depletion, observations of a type of aurora known as an isolated proton aurora have revealed a cause of ozone depletion that comes from space: Charged particles in plasma belched out by solar flares and coronal mass ejections also keep gnawing at the ozone layer.
on Tuesday, Oct. 25, the new moon will orbit between the sun and the Earth, causing a partial eclipse of the sun that will be visible from Europe, northeast Africa and western Asia. It's the last solar eclipse of the year, so here's what to expect!

The partial solar eclipse of Oct. 25 is the second and final solar eclipse of 2022 and will be visible to observers across most of Europe, as well as parts of northeast Africa, the Middle East and western Asia. But exactly when it starts and stops will depend on where you are observing from. Here's a handy timing guide.
The solar eclipse of Oct. 25 is a great time to get into observing the sun, but you'll need to take special precautions to observe our nearest star safely. Here's what you need to safely observe the sun.
Some interpretations of quantum mechanics propose that our entire universe is described by a single universal wave function that constantly splits and multiplies, producing a new reality for every possible quantum interaction. That's quite a bold statement. So how do we get there?
NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft slammed into a small asteroid called Dimorphos on Sept. 26 to test a potential technique to protect Earth, should we find ourselves on a collision course with a large space rock. But the impact has also given planetary scientists a close, albeit fleeting, view of the smallest asteroid any spacecraft has visited to date.
SpaceX's "chopsticks" have been busy lately, and a new video shows them in action. The chopsticks are arms attached to "Mechazilla," the launch tower at Starbase, SpaceX's facility in South Texas. Mechazilla lifts and lowers Super Heavy boosters and Starship spacecraft.
The mission was the first for OneWeb since February, when Russia invaded Ukraine and shook up the spaceflight landscape (among many other, more serious impacts).
