Dr Themiya Nanayakkara at Swinburne University has made a surprising space discovery – a giant spiral disk galaxy in the early cosmos which is three times larger than similar galaxies at the same epoch.
Ten weeks on from the return of the second Varda Space Industries mission, the first to South Australia’s Koonibba Test Range… the third mission has made landfall.
Following a ground support issue that delayed the Eris 1 launch window twenty four hours from Thursday, an electrical fault triggered the payload fairing to deploy just one hour before Friday’s effort. Now Gilmour Space are working the problem having put their launch window on hold for now.

61 days to go until The 2025 Trekzone Fan Film Awards are here, and we have reached an important milestone plus more news and thoughts. MTM Wrap (10/5/25)
It’s the end of the third week of March 2025. Here’s the science and space headlines from the week that was… Kanyini phones home, shows us the awesome power of
Astronauts often experience immune dysfunction, skin rashes, and other inflammatory conditions while travelling in space, and international researchers believe these issues are likely due to the overly sterile nature of the International Space Station.
Australia’s first state government funded satellite, Kanyini, has delivered its first images from space, marking a significant milestone for the space mission. Mission Director Peter Nikoloff is back on the
Data from NASA’s InSight mission suggest Mars has a liquid core similar to Earth’s, but European scientists say the core may be solid, at least below a certain temperature.
Scientists have successfully used lasers to identify microbe fossils in rocks from Earth, which are like the rocks found on Mars, opening up the possibility of searching for fossils on the Red Planet.
International scientists, including an Australian, say they’ve found evidence of the highest-energy neutrino detected to date. The result suggests the particle came from beyond our Milky Way, they say, although its precise origin remains mysterious.

Curtin University researchers have discovered the world’s oldest known meteorite impact crater, which could significantly redefine our understanding of the origins of life and how our planet was shaped.
The discovery of new exoplanets can help scientists understand how planets form and evolve.
International researchers suggest that water might have formed a mere 100-200 million years after the Big Bang, far earlier than previously thought, and it might have been a key part of the formation of our universe’s first galaxies.
An accomplished international photographer, Charles Brooks, has captured dazzling new images of one component of the main ring at the Australian Synchrotron and provided an inside view of the electron’s path when it is used. A synchrotron engineer converted radio waves produced in the vacuum chamber into sound files.
