Planet-Eating Stars Offer a Glimpse Into Earth’s Fate as the Sun Nears Its Final Stages
Astronomers studying aging Sun-like stars have found strong evidence that stars consume their closest planets as they evolve. Using data from NASA’s TESS mission, researchers observed fewer planets around older stars, suggesting worlds are destroyed over time. The findings offer a realistic preview of Earth’s fate billions of years from now.

Hubble Captures Rare Collision in Nearby Planetary System, Revealing Violent Planet Formation
Astronomers using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope have witnessed rare collisions between rocky bodies in the Fomalhaut system. The glowing debris clouds created by these impacts offer a unique glimpse into how planets form and highlight challenges in identifying true exoplanets.

Astronomers Observe Black Hole Twisting Spacetime for the First Time, Confirming Einstein’s Theory
Astronomers have directly observed a black hole twisting spacetime for the first time, confirming Einstein’s long-standing prediction. The effect was detected during a violent stellar destruction event, where repeating X-ray and radio signals revealed a slow cosmic wobble. The discovery provides new insight into black hole spin, jets, and extreme...

Understanding Winter Solstice: All About Shortest Day Of The Year
The solstices mark the times when the Earth's tilt toward or away from the sun is at its maximum. This means the hemispheres are getting very different amounts of sunlight - and days and nights are at their most unequal.

James Webb Telescope Finds Evidence Of Giant "Dinosaur" Stars From Early Universe
The research also suggests that these massive stars transformed directly into black holes at the end of their lives without undergoing a supernova explosion.

Astronomers Witness Longest-Lasting Gamma-Ray Burst in History, 8 Billion Light-Years Away
A gamma-ray burst lasting over seven hours was recorded 8 billion light-years away, revealing a rare type of cosmic explosion and challenging current astrophysics models.

Astronomers Watch a Dormant Neutron Star Reignite After a Decade of Silence
Astronomers observed a neutron star known as P13 suddenly brighten after years of inactivity. The decade-long study shows how changes in accretion can drive extreme X-ray power, offering new insight into ultraluminous X-ray sources and neutron star physics.

Scientists Study Ancient Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS, Seeking Clues to Early Star System Formation
Comet 3I/ATLAS, a rare interstellar visitor from beyond the solar system, is putting on a striking celestial show as it nears Earth. After passing perihelion in October, the comet brightened nearly tenfold and shifted from red to green due to glowing carbon molecules. Tracked closely by astronomers worldwide, this ancient object offers a unique opp...

JWST Detects Thick Atmosphere on Ultra-Hot Rocky Exoplanet TOI-561 b
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have discovered compelling evidence of a thick atmosphere surrounding TOI-561 b, an ultra-hot rocky exoplanet orbiting its star every 11 hours. Despite extreme radiation and molten surface conditions, the planet appears cooler than expected, suggesting heat-redistributing atmospheric winds and volati...
