  • Interstellar Objects Like Comet 3I/ATLAS Could Act As Planetary Seeds
    ISOs like Comet 3I/ATLAS are fascinating yet fleeting visitors from distant solar systems. New research suggests that when captured by a young solar system that's still forming planets, these objects could act as planetary seeds for the formation of planets.... Read more »
  • New Bright Comet SWAN Could Perform a Surprise October Show
    A new comet approaching from sunward could make a fine dusk appearance in October. There was chatter on the boards this past Friday September 12th, about a comet seen in the Solar Wind Anisotropies (SWAN) images near the Sun. Tentatively named SWAN25B and now formally designated as C/2025 R2 SWAN,... Read more »
  • Astronomers Catch a Planet in the Act of Being Born
    It’s rather strange to think about catching a planet in the act of being born given that the process takes millions of years but for the first time, astronomers have done just that! The evidence reveals a planet actively forming and feeding from its surrounding disk of gas and dust.... Read more »

  • “Black Hole Stars" Could Solve the Mystery of Little Red Dots
    A bizarre new type of object could solve one of astronomy's most puzzling mysteries. The James Webb Space Telescope spotted some “little red dots” and until now, it’s been thought they were galaxies. Now, a team of astronomers have come up with an alternative theory, supermassive black holes wrapped up... Read more »
  • Webb Spots a Massive Stellar Jet in the Outer Milky Way
    NASA's James Webb Space Telescope recently imaged an extremely large and symmetric protostellar jet at the outskirts of our Milky Way galaxy. From tip to tip, this protostellar jet is 8 light-years across, about double the distance from our Sun to its closest neighboring star system, Alpha Centauri.... Read more »

  • From Sci-Fi To Reality: New Breakthrough Could Bring Holograms To Your Phone
    The University of St Andrews has taken a major step forward in making holographic technology more practical and accessible. By combining Organic Light-Emitting Diodes (OLEDs) with holographic metasurfaces, researchers have unveiled a simpler, cheaper, and far smaller method of producing holograms. Holograms have long been associated with laser-based systems, which,... Read more »
  • Pope Leo Slams Elon Musk’s Trillion Dollar Pay Package, Condemns Widening Income Disparity In Society: ‘We’re In Big Trouble’
    Pope Leo XIV has used his first major interview as pontiff to issue a stern warning about the world’s growing economic divide. Speaking on the widening gap between CEOs and their employees, he pointed directly at Tesla’s Elon Musk and his path toward becoming the world’s first trillionaire as a... Read more »
  • France Sets New World Record By Keeping A Fusion Reactor Running For 22 Minutes
    In a nuclear fusion research, France’s WEST tokamak has sustained a hot plasma for 1,337 seconds, just over 22 minutes. The result, announced by Anne-Isabelle Etienvre, Director of Fundamental Research at France’s Commissariat à l’énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives (CEA), sets a new milestone in fusion research. It surpasses... Read more »
  • NASA Responds To Claims That Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS Is An Advanced Alien Spacecraft
    NASA has weighed in on speculation that the newly discovered interstellar object 3I/ATLAS might be an alien spacecraft, an idea popularized by Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb. While Loeb floated the possibility that it could be an extraterrestrial probe with hostile intent, NASA scientists insist that all evidence points to a... Read more »
  • Google Gemini Overtakes ChatGPT To Top App Charts After Viral Nano Banana Success
    Google’s Gemini has shot to the top of Apple’s app charts in the US and UK, unseating OpenAI’s ChatGPT as the most popular free app. This comes after the debut of Gemini’s new image editing model, Gemini 2.5 Flash Image, also nicknamed “Nano Banana”, which has quickly gone viral. Launched... Read more »
  • Spherical RoboBall Could Tackle Moon’s Toughest Terrain
    When we think of planetary rovers, images of wheeled or legged machines crawling across the rocky surfaces of the Moon or Mars usually come to mind. But at Texas A&M University, a team led by Robert Ambrose is exploring a far more unconventional design: a spherical robot that rolls across... Read more »
  • New EV Battery Tech Could Power 500-Mile Road Trips On A 12-minute Charge
    A new chemistry breakthrough may soon transform the future of electric vehicles. Scientists have discovered a way to overcome one of the biggest hurdles in battery technology, paving the way for lithium-metal batteries that can deliver 500-mile (800-kilometer) journeys on a single charge and recharge in just 12 minutes. Lithium-metal... Read more »
