Astronomers call ancient star clusters like NGC 1786 “time capsules” for their galaxy, preserving some of its oldest stars. A new image from NASA’s Hubble Space...
Brookhaven’s sPHENIX detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) has reported its first physics measurements of gold-ion collisions. Designed for heavy-ion experiments, sPHENIX recorded precision...
Astronomers using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory have discovered a Jupiter-sized exoplanet that is being fried by the radiation from its parent star. The study determined that...
A meteorite impact in northern Arizona may have caused a massive landslide in the Grand Canyon about 56,000 years ago, altering the course of the Colorado...
A rare interstellar object has been spotted in our solar system, making it the second known object to cross over from outside our cosmic neighbourhood and...
The Boeing CST-100 Starliner, a crew capsule for NASA’s Commercial Crew Program, has been plagued by persistent problems. Its first crewed test flight in June 2024...
Scientists have shown the elusive phenomenon of quantum computing that could create the way for fault-tolerant machines, which are much powerful than any of the supercomputers....
NASA’s NISAR Earth-observing satellite (concept image shown) will carry an advanced dual-band radar system to map Earth’s land and ice in 3D. NASA will host a...
China’s Tianwen 2 probe, en route to collect samples from a near-Earth asteroid, has captured striking images of Earth and the moon shortly after launch. The...
On July 15, a massive filament eruption from the sun’s northeastern limb exploded in an eye-popping explosion of solar filth and fury, and a bright chunk...
NASA’s next four-person astronaut crew has entered quarantine as they prepare for launch. On July 17, 2025, the Crew-11 team – led by NASA astronaut Zena...
In a recent paper published online, researchers have reported the transverse Thomson effect’s first experimental observation. It is a key thermoelectric phenomenon that has made scientists...
NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, together with data from the Hubble Space Telescope, has revealed a “baby” exoplanet rapidly losing its atmosphere. The planet, named TOI 1227...
China has launched a new resupply mission to its module and the astronauts and space station to which it is connected in orbit above the Earth,...
Delivering a fresh jolt to a field recently rocked by controversy, astrophysicists have discovered the most massive collision yet of a pair of black holes that...
The Parker Solar Probe has truly achieved a historic milestone in solar exploration. In July 2025, NASA released the closest-ever images of the Sun, taken just...
Uranus, the seventh planet from the Sun, is usually known as a frozen “ice giant.” But in July 2025 astronomers announced a big surprise: Uranus is...
Astronomers have detected a weird black hole that is causing its galactic host to wobble like a top in the throes of “direct collapse” in the...
In early July 2025, astronomers announced comet 3I/ATLAS, first observed on July 1 by a Chilean telescope in NASA’s ATLAS network, is an interstellar visitor with...
Water ice coats many outer solar system bodies – from Jupiter’s icy moon Ganymede (above) to interstellar dust. On Earth, ice freezes into a neat crystal...
