ESA’s Solar Orbiter, Launched In 2/20, Studies The Sun’s Atmosphere, Cycle, Wind, & Poles. In 3/25, It Took The World’s First Clear Image Of The Sun’s South Pole Using Venus Gravity Assists. By 2029, It’ll Reach 33° Tilt For Better Polar Views, Potentially Unlocking Solar Cycle & Space Weather Secrets. North Pole Images Are Expected In Oct 2025.

U.S. Researchers Have Built The World’s First 2D Material-Based CMOS Computer Using Molybdenum Disulfide (N-Type) And Tungsten Diselenide (P-Type) Transistors, Eliminating Silicon. It Performs Simple Logic Operations At Low Power And Voltage. Though Slower Than Silicon CMOS, It Proves Scalability & Opens A New Path For Future Electronics.

New Simulations Show The Milky Way And Andromeda Collision Is Unlikely Soon—Only A 2% Chance In 5B Yrs. Despite Moving At 62 mi/s, A Full Merger May Take 8–10B Yrs. Close Passes Are More Likely. Added Variables Like The Large Magellanic Cloud Altered Earlier Predictions. But The Earth May Be Gone By The Time Of Merger, Consumed By The Sun.
