Earth's magnetosphere shields us from severe space weather that threatens modern infrastructure. The joint China-Europe SMILE mission provides unprecedented X-ray imaging of these solar interactions, while proposals like artificial mass-loading offer innovative defenses against devastating geomagnetic storms.

Click to View MoreA superkilonova is a proposed and extremely powerful cosmic explosion that appears brighter and longer-lasting than a normal kilonova due to an additional energy source, such as fallback heating or a preceding supernova, and it offers new insights into neutron star mergers, heavy-element formation, and extreme astrophysical processes.
Click to View MoreComet 3I/ATLAS is the third confirmed interstellar object and one of the oldest cosmic bodies ever observed, likely over 7 billion years old. Travelling on a high-speed hyperbolic path, it originates from the Milky Way’s thick disk—unlike earlier interstellar visitors—making it a rare sample of ancient galactic material. Its active coma, large nucleus, and presence of water ice and complex organics provide valuable clues about early planetary environments, organic chemistry, and the evolution of stellar systems beyond our Solar System.
