Astronomers Use Webb Telescope to Study Exoplanet Surface Beyond Atmosphere
Using James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers directly measured heat from LHS 3844 b, revealing a dark, rocky surface with no atmosphere—more like Mercury than Earth—marking a breakthrough in studying exoplanet geology.

Astronomers Discover 27 Potential "Tatooine-Like" Planets Orbiting Two Stars
The potential planets were detected using data from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite.

Explainer: Why Pluto Lost Planet Status As NASA Chief Urges Reconsideration
NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman has reignited the two-decade-old debate over Pluto's classification by publicly backing its reinstatement as a full planet, while NASA prepares scientific papers to challenge the International Astronomical Union's 20

NASA Highlights Distant Barred Spiral Galaxy With Unique Shape And Unusual Core Activity
In the case of NGC 4394, scientists believe that gravitational interaction with a nearby galaxy may have pushed gas toward its centre.

James Webb Space Telescope Reveals Cosmic Buckyballs in Distant Nebula
Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have mapped buckyballs in a distant nebula. These complex carbon molecules, arranged in a shell, could offer clues to the chemistry that underpins life in the universe.

New Einstein Cross Reveals Surprising Galaxy Evolution
Astronomers discovered a rare Einstein Cross around galaxy J1453g, revealing a stellar structure similar to the Milky Way. The finding challenges current theories of how elliptical galaxies form and evolve.

Why Jupiter Has Four Giant Moons While Saturn Has Just One, Study Explains
Scientists suggest the strong magnetic field of Jupiter created regions for multiple large moons to form, unlike Saturn. The findings could reshape how astronomers search for exomoons in distant planetary systems.
