Astronomers Discover Massive Metal Cloud Orbiting Unknown Planet
Analysis of the wind speed and direction revealed that the cloud is moving at a different speed from its host star, confirming that it is bound to an external secondary object.

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope Might Have Spotted Hidden Supermassive Black Holes
Mysterious “little red dots” spotted by the James Webb Space Telescope may not be tiny galaxies after all. A new study suggests they are supermassive black holes wrapped in dense gas and dust, perfectly disguised in the early universe and shining intensely in infrared light.

Astronomers Find ‘Dark Object’ 11 Billion Light-Years Away Through Gravity
Astronomers have observed a completely dark mysterious object, which is approximately a million times more massive than the mass of the Sun. It is found about 11 billion light-years distant and was identified in 2025 through its gravitational impact on the light of a background galaxy. This renders it the farthest object ever to have been observed ...

Rubin Observatory Discovers Fastest-Spinning Large Asteroid Ever Seen
Astronomers using the Vera C. Rubin Observatory have discovered asteroid 2025 MN45, the fastest-spinning large asteroid ever recorded. About 710 metres wide, the object completes one full rotation every 1.88 minutes—far quicker than any asteroid of similar size. The finding emerged from an early survey that detected nearly 2,000 new asteroids, in...

Hubble Telescope Discovers Cloud-9, A New Type of Astronomical Object
Cloud-9 contains no stars, making it a unique object for studying dark matter, and the cloud is composed of neutral hydrogen gas.

Astronomers Decode the Strange Behaviour of a Young Star 1,950 Light-Years Away
Astronomers have found that the young star V1180 Cassiopeiae shows a rare mix of accretion-driven brightening and dust-caused dimming. Based on nearly 25 years of observations, the study explains its long-standing variability and shows how early stellar growth is shaped by tightly linked accretion, extinction, and outflow processes.

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...

ISRO Captures Rare Close-Up Of Fast-Moving 3I/ATLAS. See Pic
As space agencies track the comet's path, 3I/ATLAS is offering astronomers rare clues about what lies beyond our Solar System.

NASA To Release New Photos Of Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS
NASA is set on Wednesday to release new images of an interstellar object called 3I/ATLAS that astronomers have determined is a comet probably even older than our solar system.

Could Interstellar Visitor 3I/ATLAS Be More Than A Comet? What Harvard Astronomer Said
As the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS speeds through the solar system, Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb is keeping the possibility of it not being an ordinary comet alive.

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.

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.

NASA Telescopes Capture First-Ever Companion Star Orbiting Massive Red Supergiant Betelgeuse
Astronomers have detected a small companion star orbiting the red supergiant Betelgeuse using Hubble and Chandra observations. Dubbed “Betelbuddy,” the discovery reveals an extreme binary system that challenges existing models of stellar evolution and may offer clues to Betelgeuse’s future.

Astronomers Detect Hints Of Hidden Earth-Sized Planet Beyond Neptune
Astronomers propose the existence of ‘Planet Y’, a hidden Earth-size planet that may orbit closer than the theorized ‘Planet Nine’. Based on Kuiper Belt object patterns, the study suggests a rocky world influencing orbital tilts. Experts remain divided, but upcoming sky surveys could soon confirm or rule out its existence.
