Scientists have conducted research on discrete burning, a form of fire that jumps from one fuel source to another, using iron powder in zero gravity. The leftover product after combustion is iron oxide, a substance that doesn’t produce carbon dioxide and can be endlessly recycled. Following these microgravity experiments, efficient iron-burning furnaces have been developed, leading to the creation of a circular, carbon-free energy storage. A demonstration plant is operational in The Netherlands, and multiple start-ups are exploring this carbon-free fuel for factories and industrial processes. Looking ahead, this metal fuel could also be used for sustainable lunar outposts, potentially…

Enceladus, Saturn’s sixth-largest moon—and the solar system’s most reflective object—has been putting on a show, spraying massive volumes of water into space. Aided by the James Webb Space Telescope, Mashable reports that collaborating NASA, European, and Canadian space agency researchers have been thrilled by the moon’s geyser-like plumes, which shoot more than 6,000 miles above the planet’s surface. Additionally, the small icy moon whose spritz creates a “misty halo” that generously contributes to Saturn’s rings, is providing new insight into how it supplies water for the entire Saturnian system, per Mashable. Then there’s the moon’s fascinating nightlife. As…
