Partial lunar eclipse Aug. 27-28 live updates — 1 day to go

• Harvard scientists have developed a silicon chip capable of writing dozens of DNA sequences simultaneously using electricity and water-based enzymes. • This new method serves as a cleaner, more efficient alternative to conventional DNA manufacturing processes.

• NASA astronaut Anil Menon and ESA astronaut Sophie Adenot completed a 6.5-hour spacewalk on Tuesday, August 25. • The mission focused on the "dish R&R," where the duo successfully installed a replacement Space-to-Ground antenna on the exterior of the International Space Station.

• NASA astronaut Anil Menon and French astronaut Sophie Adenot are conducting a spacewalk today, August 25, to replace a failed space-to-ground antenna on the International Space Station. • The mission is critical for maintaining reliable communication between the orbital laboratory and ground control centers on Earth.

• Astronomers continue to debate the classification of Pluto 20 years after it was stripped of its full planet status. • The controversy centers on whether the current definition of a planet is accurate or if Pluto should be reinstated.

• SpaceX achieved a new rocket-reuse record on Tuesday, August 25, during its 100th Falcon 9 launch of the year. • The milestone was reached when a single Falcon 9 first-stage booster successfully completed its 37th liftoff.

• China has indefinitely delayed the launch of its Chang'e 7 mission to the moon's south pole due to a storm near the launch site. • The ambitious mission is specifically designed for "ice-hunting" to search for water-ice deposits in the lunar south pole region.

• Two recent NASA-funded studies have revealed how ancient events in the Sun's history influenced the development of Earth's unique climate. • The research suggests that these solar events may have been the primary drivers behind previously unexplained climatic shifts on our planet.

• On August 25, 1997, NASA launched the Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) satellite to study energetic particles traveling through space. • The mission specifically focuses on analyzing solar wind and monitoring space weather patterns.

• New satellite imagery reveals that Greenland's glaciers are experiencing their most significant loss of floating ice in over a decade. • The imagery specifically highlights a fractured "ice tongue," indicating a severe breakdown of the glacial structures that stabilize the ice sheet.

• A partial lunar eclipse will occur on August 27-28, marking the most significant lunar event until December 2028. • Live coverage is currently providing a countdown to the event, offering viewers essential viewing tips and real-time updates.

• NASA is preparing to launch the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope to explore hidden facets of the universe. • The mission aims to discover up to 200,000 new planets and provide critical data on the elusive nature of dark matter and dark energy.
