Radar Evidence Revives Search Beyond Tutankhamun's Tomb
More than 1,200 microgravity readings and ground-penetrating radar surveys have identified low-density anomalies beyond Tutankhamun's burial chamber. The findings are consistent with possible corridors and rooms, but neither the structures nor a connection to Nefertiti has been confirmed by excavation.
XRISM Tracks Stellar Wind Falling Onto a Pulsar
XRISM has traced iron-rich plasma moving toward the pulsar GX 301-2 at about 540,000 kph, providing spectroscopic evidence that a neutron star captures its giant companion's stellar wind and powers recurring X-ray flares.
NASA Adds Three SpaceX Crew Flights Through 2030
NASA has added $946 million for SpaceX's Crew-15, Crew-16, and Crew-17 missions, raising the company's total Commercial Crew missions to 17 and the contract value to $5.92 billion. The decision secures transportation and lifeboat services through 2030 while NASA evaluates schedule pressure, Dragon inspections, and the future role of Boeing's Starliner.
