Thruster glitches and helium leaks on Boeing's Starliner
(NASA)
Thruster malfunctions and more helium leaks of popped up on Boeing's Starliner astronaut test flight. The glitches delayed Starliner's docking at the ISS, but so far nothing insurmountable has arisen, officials say.

More people Googled 'northern lights' in May 2024 than ever
(Jonathan Newton/Getty Images)
The terms 'northern lights', 'space weather' and 'geomagnetic storm' were googled more in May 2024 than in any other month in the search engine's history. With April's total solar eclipse, and Mid-May's widespread aurora show, public interest in the sun has been much higher than usual. As photos and discussions of the eclipse and northern lights flooded social media and secured segments on prime-time news broadcasts, Google search inquiries for these topics shot up significantly.

Space shuttle fliers join Astronaut Hall of Fame
(Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex)
This year's U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame induction ceremony was also a reunion of sorts, as the two honorees took to the stage under the spacecraft on which they once crossed paths. NASA's Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida hosted the ceremony under its display of the retired space shuttle Atlantis on Saturday (June 1). A full house of former astronauts, space program officials and the public were there to see David Hilmers and Marsha Ivins be added to the hall's ranks.

dearMoon crew laments scrapped private Starship moonshot
(dearMoon)
When Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa canceled his planned flight around the moon on due to delays with SpaceX's Starship megarocket, the eight people he picked to fly with him were understandably surprised.

"I'll need to allow myself to grieve this loss as it became a big part of my life, my dreams, and my visions," one says.

James Webb Telescope makes carbon-rich exoplanets discovery
(ALMA (ESO/NAOJ/NRAO) / MPIA)
Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered the richest "menu" of hydrocarbons ever seen in a planet-forming disk. This observation, which involved the protoplanetary disk around a tiny star, also revealed the first detection of ethane outside the solar system.

"This is profoundly different from the composition we see in disks around solar-type stars."

SpaceX launches 4th flight test of Starship megarocket
(SpaceX)
The fourth test flight of the biggest and most powerful rocket ever built is in the books, and what a dramatic and nail-biting trip for SpaceX it was. SpaceX launched its Starship megarocket for the fourth time ever today (June 6) at 8:50 a.m. EDT (1250 GMT), sending the 400-foot-tall (122 meters) vehicle aloft from its Starbase site near Boca Chica Beach in South Texas atop a thundering pillar of fire.

NASA astronaut put Starliner to the test (exclusive)
(NASA)
Shortly after shepherding the first Boeing Starliner to a space port, NASA astronaut Bob Hines got a special assignment. Hines was one of the astronauts working in the International Space Station for the historic first berthing of an uncrewed Boeing Starliner spacecraft on May 22, 2022. Hines, who flew on SpaceX Crew-4, returned to Earth from half a year in space that October, to learn that NASA wanted him to help see Starliner through its first crewed mission.

Midnight sun: What it is and how to see it

The midnight sun is a natural summertime phenomenon in which the sun never sets below the horizon, not even at midnight. While this may sound like an otherworldly scenario, for those living in the polar regions, it's just another summer's day, albeit one that never ends.

Telescope removed from hub on Hawaiian volcano

For the first time, a telescope on the Hawaiian volcano Maunakea has been fully decommissioned - it was dismantled, removed, and its site was restored to previous conditions. The effort comes under an agreement between the University of Hawaii and the Maunakea Stewardship and Oversight Authority, designed to smooth tensions over the construction of a new telescope on the mountain: The Thirty Meter Telescope.

NASA finds 'Phoenix' planet surviving star's bombardment

A strange planet discovered with NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has astronomers confused. Despite getting relentlessly bombarded with radiation from its red giant parent star, the world has, against all odds, hung on to its atmosphere. It is also smaller, older and hotter than scientists thought possible for such a planet.

*Topological phases induced by charge fluctuations in Majorana wires*

The influence of many-body interactions on topological phases is one of
the problems that still remains urgent in modern condensed-matter
theory. In this study we address this issue within perturbative theory
framework by considering topological phase transitions related to charge
correlations in the extended Kitaev chain model that belongs to the BDI
symmetry class. Obtained corrections to a zero-frequency quasiparticle
Green's function allow to separate the mean-field and fluctuation
contributions to a total winding number. As a result, the phase
transitions caused solely by the latter are unveiled. We thoroughly
analyze the mechanism of such transitions in terms of
fluctuation-induced nodal points and spectrum renormalization.
Additionally, features of other quasiparticle properties such as
effective mass and damping are discussed in the context of topological
phase transitions.
Phys. Rev. B 109, 075435 (2024).

*Прямой каскад турбулентности капиллярных волн: численное моделирование*
(короткий доклад)

Приводятся результаты большого массива экспериментов по моделированию
турбулентности капиллярных волн. Получен динамический диапазон прямого
каскада более одной декады в пространстве волновых векторов, что
соответствует примерно двум декадам по частоте. Рассматривается влияние
размера области на наблюдаемые спектры.
