JWST Reveals Salt Clouds in the Atmosphere of the ‘Pink Planet’ GJ 504b
Using just two hours of observations, JWST decoded the atmosphere of GJ 504b, a cool pink world 57 light-years away. Scientists detected water vapor, methane, ammonia, and carbon dioxide, while deep salt clouds helped explain the object's unusual appearance and temperature.

JWST Watches HD 80606 bExoplanet Heat Up by 1,100 Degrees in Hours
The James Webb Space Telescope observed HD 80606 b undergo a dramatic temperature surge during its closest approach to its star. The data revealed extreme heating and detected methane and carbon dioxide, offering a rare look at how giant exoplanet atmospheres respond to intense stellar energy.

Scientists Discover Giant Planet Formation Around Supermassive Black Holes
New research suggests that supermassive black holes may host the formation of giant planets within their surrounding dusty disks.

Scientists May Have Solved the Missing Sulfur Mystery in Star-Forming Clouds
A new simulation suggests sulfur in star-forming clouds may be locked inside icy dust grains through previously overlooked chemical reactions. The findings offer fresh clues to a decades-old cosmic mystery and could improve our understanding of life's essential ingredients in space.

Astronomers Discover Why Massive Galaxies Died Early in the Universe
Astronomers have discovered a powerful galactic wind in the merging galaxy system CRISTAL-02. The outflow is removing star-forming gas faster than it can be replenished, providing the first direct evidence for a mechanism that may have shut down star formation in massive early galaxies.

Starlink Constellation Crosses 10,600 Satellites After Latest SpaceX Launch
A Falcon 9 rocket launched 24 Starlink satellites from California, expanding the constellation beyond 10,600 spacecraft. The mission also brought booster B1071 within one flight of SpaceX’s Falcon 9 reusability record.

JWST Reveals the True Identity of Mysterious Little Red Dots
Using JWST, astronomers obtained the most detailed spectrum yet of a little red dot and found evidence that these mysterious objects are rapidly growing black holes wrapped in dense gas. The discovery could explain why they appear, shine red, and eventually disappear from the cosmic record.
-
Astronomers Discover Two Galaxies That Appear to Lack Dark Matter
Researchers studying FCC 224 and FCC 240 in the Fornax Cluster found evidence that both galaxies contain surprisingly little dark matter. The discovery supports the idea that galaxy collisions can strip away dark matter and raises new questions about how galaxies evolve.
