Thirty years after launch, the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory – SOHO – is still staring at the Sun from deep space and changing what scientists thought they knew about it. A mission designed for two years of solar watching has instead become the most prolific comet hunter in history and a quiet backbone of space-weather forecasting.

On the American right, few issues once seemed more settled than support for Israel. Now, the split between Candace Owens, the late Charlie Kirk, and the movement he built through Turning Point USA captures how that consensus is coming apart.

A Dystopian Classic That Still Resonates Today Imagine a world where every conversation is monitored, history is rewritten on a whim, and independent thought is a crime. This is the nightmare vision of George Orwell’s 1984 , a dystopian novel published in 1949 as a dire warning against totalitarianism. Orwell’s chilling tale introduced terms like “Big Brother” and “Thought Police” into our everyda...

A powerful US advisory panel has just voted to roll back a 30-year policy that all newborns should receive a hepatitis B vaccine at birth. The move is already rippling through public-health circles worldwide – and could reshape the global vaccine debate in ways that go far beyond one infection.

Washington’s new National Security Strategy has landed like a diplomatic grenade in Europe – accusing the continent of sliding towards “civilisational erasure” and openly backing nationalist movements to change its course.

The European Union has handed X (formerly Twitter) a landmark €120 million fine under the Digital Services Act — a move that Elon Musk’s supporters see less as a neutral enforcement action and more as a direct challenge to his experiment in freer, less centrally controlled online speech.

After years of saying she might never marry again, Miley Cyrus has confirmed she is engaged to musician Maxx Morando. The low-key relationship that quietly became one of her most stable now steps into the spotlight — complete with a serious diamond and a very Miley backstory.

The United States has quietly told European allies it expects them to take over most of NATO’s conventional defence role by 2027 – or risk a dramatic American pull-back. Behind the headlines, this is less a tantrum and more a hard deadline in a long-running argument over who pays for Europe’s security.

Beloved children’s presenter Ms Rachel has found herself at the centre of a fierce political storm. A pro-Israel advocacy group has put her on its “Antisemite of the Year” list – not for anything in her videos for toddlers, but for her public advocacy for children in Gaza. The backlash says as much about today’s culture wars as it does about her posts.

Beijing and Tokyo are locked in their sharpest diplomatic clash in years – and the trigger was a few sentences about Taiwan that go to the heart of Asia’s security order.

Scientists have engineered a nanometre-thin germanium layer on silicon that lets electric charge move faster than in any silicon-compatible material seen before — a quiet lab result that could reshape everything from smartphones to quantum computers.

OpenAI has signed a multibillion-dollar pact with Australian data-centre giant NEXTDC to build a hyperscale AI campus and GPU supercluster in western Sydney. It is a big bet on sovereign AI infrastructure, with implications for energy, geopolitics – and how countries like the UK position themselves in the global compute race.

Demand for AI servers and a rebound in consumer electronics are colliding, creating a short, sharp squeeze in global memory-chip supplies – with big implications for prices, product launches, and the next wave of AI hardware.

Edinburgh Airport was plunged into sudden chaos after an air traffic control IT failure forced all flights to be suspended, leaving planes on the tarmac, passengers diverted mid-air, and thousands of journeys thrown into doubt — even after services technically resumed.

Russia has openly backed India’s energy needs, promising to keep the oil, gas and nuclear fuel flowing – even as Donald Trump tries to turn Russian crude into a pressure point on New Delhi.

For a couple of hours on Friday morning, it felt as if “the internet” itself had crashed. A single provider—Cloudflare—went down, and with it went Zoom calls, LinkedIn feeds, food deliveries, gaming servers and even transport sites millions rely on every day.

Leaked notes from a call between European leaders and Volodymyr Zelenskyy suggest the United States may be preparing to push a territorial deal on Ukraine without firm security guarantees – reviving old European doubts about Washington’s reliability and forcing difficult choices in London, Paris, Berlin and Kyiv.

Investors are now betting heavily that the US Federal Reserve will cut interest rates again in December, forcing a rapid repricing across bonds, equities, currencies and commodities – with big implications for the UK and the rest of the world.

Israel has pulled troops back to a “yellow line” inside Gaza under a US-brokered ceasefire. But continued airstrikes, a shifting map on the ground, and fresh attacks in Lebanon show how fragile the truce really is – and how much of Gaza’s future is being decided right now.

In late 1956, British paratroopers dropped over Port Said while Royal Navy ships shelled the Egyptian coast. London’s leaders believed they were defending a vital artery of global trade and saving their status as a world power. Within weeks, they were forced into an abrupt ceasefire under intense international pressure. This was the Suez Crisis. For Britain, it was more than a failed military adve...

n June 1982, British ships and troops fought their way across cold South Atlantic waters and bleak hillsides around Port Stanley. The real war ended in a clear British victory and the return of the Falkland Islands to British control. But the outcome was much closer than it looks in hindsight. A few different decisions, a handful more missile strikes, or a change in diplomatic pressure could have...

Picture a map of North America with two rival capitals: Washington and Richmond. Two flags. Two armies. Two different ideas of who counts as fully human and fully free. The American Civil War decided whether the United States would remain a single nation and whether slavery would survive. In reality, Union victory preserved the Union and led to the abolition of slavery and the passage of the 13th,...

In the winter of 1917, Britain stood closer to defeat than many later memories suggest. U-boats were sinking merchant ships faster than they could be replaced, food prices were soaring, and the government feared shortages severe enough to undermine morale at home. The Royal Navy’s blockade was strangling Germany, but Germany’s submarines were trying to do the same to Britain. In reality, Britain e...

Picture the Channel in 1805. The cliffs of Dover on one side, Napoleon’s invasion camps at Boulogne on the other. Barges line the French coast. Soldiers drill on the beaches. The greatest army in Europe is staring across twenty miles of water at its last serious enemy. In actual history, Britain never fell. Control of the sea, the victory at Trafalgar, and a long war of coalitions ended with Napol...

Imagine a gray dawn over London or Moscow in 1944. No air raid sirens, no fleets of bombers overhead. Just a blinding flash, a rising column of fire, and a mushroom cloud clawing its way into the sky. In that moment, the Second World War and the entire twentieth century would tilt onto a different track. In reality, Nazi Germany began exploring nuclear fission early but never came close to a worki...
