This Giant Subterranean Neutrino Detector Is Taking On the Mysteries of Physics

wired.com Sandro Iannaccone 2025-09-24 07:30:00

Located 700 meters underground near the city of Jiangmen in southern China, a giant sphere—35 meters in diameter and filled with more than 20,000 tons of liquid—has just started a mission that will last for decades. This is Juno, the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory, a new, large-scale experiment studying some of the most mysterious and elusive particles known to science. Neutrinos are the most abundant particles in the universe with mass. They are fundamental particles, meaning they d

Software packages with more than 2 billion weekly downloads hit in supply-chain attack

Hackers planted malicious code in open source software packages with more than 2 billion weekly updates in what is likely to be the world’s biggest supply-chain attack ever. The attack, which compromised nearly two dozen packages hosted on the npm repository, came to public notice on Monday in social media posts. Around the same time, Josh Junon, a maintainer or co-maintainer of the affected packages, said he had been “pwned” after falling for an email that claimed his account on the platform w

China Just Took the Hunt for Elusive ‘Ghost Particles’ to the Next Level

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-10-26 12:55:48

The elusive neutrino—a near massless particle with no charge—tests the limits of physicists’ creativity, but sometimes the answer is just to go big. And the biggest detector of them all has finally joined the search for the so-called “ghost particles.” After a decade of construction, China’s Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) officially began taking data on August 26. The giant, spherical detector lies about 2,300 feet (700 meters) underground and collects antineutrino signals fro

NASA's Juno mission leaves legacy of science at Jupiter

news.ycombinator.com Robin George Andrews 2025-10-29 18:42:44

The NASA spacecraft tasked with uncovering the secrets of Jupiter, king of the planets, is running out of time. The Juno probe has already survived far longer than anticipated—its path around the solar system’s largest planet has repeatedly flown it through a tempest of radiation that should have corroded away its instruments and electronics long ago. And yet here it is: one of the greatest planetary detectives ever built, still pirouetting around Jupiter, fully functional. But it may not be fo

Sharp Hubble Images Confirm 3I/Atlas as Comet

news.ycombinator.com Universe Today 2025-11-15 00:55:18

Astronomers at the Pan-STARRS Observatory in Hawaii made history in 2017 when they detected 'Oumuamua, the first interstellar object (ISO) ever observed. Two years later, the interstellar comet 2I/Borisov became the second ISO ever observed. And on July 1st, 2025, the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) in Rio Hurtado detected a third interstellar object in our Solar System, the comet now known as 3I/ATLAS (or C/2025 N1 ATLAS). Like its predecessors, the arrival of this objec

Congressperson Urges NASA to Send Its Jupiter Probe Chasing in Pursuit of the Weird Visitor Coming From Interstellar Space

Earlier this year, astronomers spotted a mysterious interstellar object, dubbed 3I/ATLAS, hurtling through the solar system at a blistering speed. It's only the third confirmed interstellar object to have ventured into our solar system — all over the past few years, owing to more sophisticated space-observing technology — and scientists are eager to have a closer look. Besides detailed observations by the Very Large Telescope in Chile and NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, Harvard astronomer and a

Existing NASA Spacecraft Could Intercept the Weird Interstellar Object Cruising Into Our Star System

futurism.com Unknown 2025-12-18 09:21:48

Earlier this month, astronomers noticed a mysterious object speeding toward the inner solar system from outside of our star system. It's an exceedingly rare occurrence, marking only the third confirmed interstellar object to have ventured into our solar system, all of which have been detected since 2017. Harvard astronomer and alien hunter Avi Loeb was quick to raise the tantalizing — albeit admittedly far-fetched — possibility that the object, dubbed 3I/ATLAS, could have been an alien probe s

The ‘Hail Mary’ That Saved NASA’s Juno Camera From Jupiter’s Radiation Hell

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2026-01-05 00:26:35

NASA’s Juno spacecraft, which launched in 2011 to investigate Jupiter’s origin and evolution, travels through the solar system’s most intense planetary radiation fields. When the spacecraft’s JunoCam—a color, visible-light camera—began to suffer the consequences in December 2023, the mission team back on Earth had to think of a remote fix before they lost their chance to photograph the Jovian moon, Io. A relatively simple process was ultimately what enabled the long-distance save: heating the i

Astronomers Detect Entirely New Type of Plasma Wave Above Jupiter’s North Pole

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2026-01-08 05:00:55

Since entering Jupiter’s orbit in 2016, NASA’s Juno spacecraft has been hard at work unveiling the many mysteries of our solar system’s largest planet. And its latest discovery may be one of the most intriguing yet: an entirely new type of plasma wave near Jupiter’s poles. In a paper published Wednesday in Physical Review Letters, astronomers describe an unusual pattern of plasma waves in Jupiter’s magnetosphere—a magnetic “bubble” shielding the planet from external radiation.
