NASA’s Juno spacecraft has delivered a suite of groundbreaking discoveries about Jupiter and its volcanic moon Io, thanks to an array of high-tech instruments and daring flybys. Unveiled by mission scientists at a major European geosciences conference at the end of April 2025, these new findings bring humanity closer than ever to understanding the turbulent worlds orbiting our solar system’s largest planet—and may have far-reaching implications for science both globally and right here in Thailand.

NASA’s oldest active astronaut, renowned for spending 220 days on the International Space Station, has opened up about the profound challenges astronauts face upon returning to Earth—a revelation that newly illuminates the dramatic impacts of space travel on the human body and mind. His insights serve as a timely reminder of the scientific hurdles confronting both current astronauts and future generations hoping to embark on long-duration missions to the Moon, Mars, or beyond.

On April 16, 2025, a wave of headlines swept across global media spotlighting two seemingly distant, but equally compelling stories: an all-female Blue Origin crew’s response to public criticism of their landmark spaceflight, and a nutritionist’s fresh ranking of the highest-protein nuts for health-conscious readers. These stories, though international in flavor, offer key lessons for Thai readers about women’s representation in STEM, public reactions to scientific endeavors, and practical dietary choices that fit modern Thai lifestyles.
