Comet Similar To Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS Fast Moving Towards Earth
Astronomers have observed a mysterious comet racing through the solar system towards both Earth and the Sun. It has led to comparisons with the famous interstellar object 3I/ATLAS.

Webb Finds Phosphorus-Bearing Gas in an Ancient Brown Dwarf
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has detected phosphine (PH₃) in the atmosphere of the ancient brown dwarf Wolf 1130C, about 54 light-years away in Cygnus. This marks the first confirmed detection of a phosphorus-bearing gas in such a metal-poor object. The finding surprises astronomers, as phosphine was previously undetected in similar brown ...

NASA's Astronomers Reveal Red Giant Stars May Destroy Their Own Planets
This extreme expansion poses a serious threat to nearby planets. For example, when the Sun becomes a red giant in about 5 billion years, it will likely swallow Mercury and Venus.

Astronomers Spot Signs of Baby Planets in a Star’s Mysterious Disk
Astronomers using Keck Observatory have imaged the dusty disk around HD 34282, a young star about 400 light-years away, revealing bright clumps and a 40 AU gap—clear signs of planet formation. The system provides a rare glimpse into early planetary birth, helping refine models of how gas and dust evolve into new worlds.

Is the Universe Slowing Down? Astronomers Detect Signs of Fading Dark Energy
Astronomers from Yonsei University and DESI data analyses indicate dark energy, long believed constant, may be weakening. Corrected supernova results hint that cosmic acceleration is slowing—a possible “cosmic slowdown.” If true, this could help resolve the Hubble tension and redefine how the universe’s expansion and ultimate fate are under...

Watch: Stunning Video Captures Meteor Striking Moon's Surface
The astronomer said that it may have originated from the Southern or Northern Taurid meteor showers, but it's not confirmed.

Astronomers Report The Biggest Black Hole Flare Ever Seen, With Light Of 10 Trillion Suns
The observed black hole flare is believed to be the largest and most distant one ever recorded, coming from 10 billion light-years away.

How Hot Was the Universe 7 Billion Years Ago? Scientists Now Have an Answer
Japanese astronomers using ALMA data have found the universe was about twice as hot 7 billion years ago, with a temperature of 5.13 K compared to today’s 2.7 K. The finding aligns perfectly with Big Bang predictions that the Universe cools as it expands, providing the most precise mid-epoch measurement yet and reinforcing confidence in standard c...

Astronomers Stunned As Rogue Planet Grows At Record Speed
The object, known as Cha 1107-7626, lies about 620 light-years away and is estimated to be five to ten times the mass of Jupiter.

'Halloween Fireballs' Could Threaten Earth In 2032 And 2036, Astronomers Warn
Recent research indicates that larger objects in the Taurid stream could pose a greater threat in 2032 and 2036, potentially exploding in the atmosphere or occasionally reaching the Earth's surface.

Hubble Observes Massive Stellar Eruption from EK Draconis, Hinting at Life’s Origins
Astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope observed a huge solar storm from EK Draconis, a young Sun-like star. The eruption’s energy may trigger atmospheric chemistry, forming greenhouse gases and organic molecules. Such events could mirror early solar activity that helped spark life on ancient Earth and distant exoplanets.

Mysterious 1950s Sky Flashes Re-Examined in New Astronomical Study
Thousands of unexplained sky flashes captured in 1950s Palomar Observatory photos are being reanalysed. Scientists suspect they may have resulted from sunlight reflecting off early satellites or atmospheric changes after nuclear tests, which increased flash rates by up to 68%. Still, photographic artifacts remain a possible explanation.

Astronomers Stunned By Three Earth-Sized Planets In Distant Unique Planetary System
The study revealed that TOI-2267 has two closely bound stars orbiting each other, and the third planet transits the companion star.
