Little red dots could be source of mystery neutrinos

Neutrinos slip straight through the surrounding gas that traps Little Red Dots. This means LRDs, though hidden from many conventional astronomical observations, could be bright sources of neutrinos.

How quasars shut down star formation in the early universe

Cosmological simulations suggested that quasars with extremely fast outflows rid their galaxy of its gas supplies, effectively shutting down the process of making stars.

Discarded SpaceX Rocket Stage Crashes Into the Moon

A piece of SpaceX hardware that had been drifting through space since early 2025 hit the moon at high speed on the 6th of August.

A stellar envelope near the black hole Sgr A* contains water

Studies of the star IRS 3, located near the black hole at the centre of our galaxy, suggest that the star is emitting large quantities of gas and dust, forming an exceptionally large envelope in which water molecules have been detected. 

Black holes older than the Big Bang could explain dark matter

Cosmic “bounce” model suggests the Universe expanded from an earlier contracting phase, allowing ancient black holes to survive the transition as cosmic fossils. These relics could potentially explain dark matter.

Curiosity Finds Massive Field of Honeycomb-Shaped Fractures on Mars

NASA’s Curiosity rover has stumbled on the largest patch of polygon-shaped ground fractures it has ever seen on Mars, a discovery that could reveal more about the planet’s watery past.

Liquid Nitrogen May Have Flowed on Pluto’s Surface in Recent Past

Planetary researchers have found evidence that liquid nitrogen may still be seeping up from beneath the dwarf planet’s giant glacier, Sputnik Planitia, marking the first suggested case of recently flowing liquid on Pluto’s surface.

Consciousness Might Be The Fabric of Reality Itself

Researchers turn to a philosophical framework known as analytic idealism, which proposes that consciousness may be a fundamental feature of reality rather than something generated by the brain.

Euclid discovers the most ancient quasar in the Universe

The European Space Agency’s Euclid space telescope has discovered 31 of the most ancient quasars ever found. Two of these giant and dazzling galaxy cores are the earliest quasars yet observed in cosmic history. 

Wandering Supermassive Black Hole Far From Its Galaxy’s Heart

Astronomers have discovered a dormant supermassive black hole 30,000 light-years from the center of WISEA J014656.04-152214.7 — a massive galaxy located about 750 million light-years away in the constellation of Cetus.

Pluto’s Thin Atmosphere May Be Starting to Shrink

Pluto’s tenuous atmosphere appears to have begun contracting after years of holding steady.

Astronomers Discover First-Ever Three-Lobed Asteroid

The E-type asteroid (44) Nysa may be unlike any other world in the Solar System, with three connected lobes and a newly discovered satellite that could help explain how the bizarre object formed.

Quantum Entanglement Distance Record With 420 Kilometers

Across an optical fiber measuring 420 km, the researchers successfully entangled quantum memories – more than four times farther than previous demonstrations.

Venus May Have Once Had Oceans Across 90% of Its Hot, Dry Surface

Now, a new study argues the surface of Venus may still bear the geological scars of those long-lost seas. 

There May Be 170 Million Black Holes Lurking in The Milky Way

Now, astronomers have simulated the Milky Way to find its hidden "Galactic Underworld", estimating that around 170 million stellar-mass black holes are scattered throughout our galaxy.
