Study Finds Potential Dark 'Matter Imprint' In Gravitational Waves
Scientists emphasised that more observations and analysis are required before any confirmed detection of dark matter can be claimed.

New Study Suggests Uranus and Neptune May Contain More Rock Than Ice
New models suggest Uranus and Neptune may contain significantly more rock than ice beneath their atmospheres. The findings challenge decades of planetary science and could lead to a reclassification of the outer planets.

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.

A Visitor from Another Star: Interstellar Comet Reveals Alien Origins
Observations of 3I/ATLAS reveal high levels of heavy water, suggesting it formed in an extremely cold star system. The discovery offers new insights into how planets form beyond our solar system.
-
Uranus’ Outer Rings May Reveal Hidden Moons, Scientists Say
New observations of Uranus reveal its outer rings contain ice and organic material, suggesting hidden moonlets. The findings offer new clues about the planet’s ring system and the formation of its mysterious satellites.

First Black Hole Ever Discovered 62 Years Ago Is Emitting Jets With Energy Of 10,000 Suns
Originally discovered in 1964, Cygnus X-1 is blasting "dancing jets" into space with the force of 10,000 Suns.

NASA Observes Rare Sungrazer Comet Disintegration Near the Sun
NASA spacecraft observed C/2026 A1 (MAPS) disintegrate near the Sun. The sungrazer’s destruction provides valuable insights into comet structure, solar forces, and the early solar system.

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.

Ultra-High-Energy Neutrino Detected Beneath Mediterranean Sea Baffles Scientists
Scientists suggest an ultra-high-energy neutrino detected by KM3NeT detector may come from a primordial black hole explosion, hinting at new physics involving dark charge and the early universe.

Andromeda XXXVI Discovery Sheds Light on Dark Matter Rich Dwarf Galaxies
Astronomers have discovered Andromeda XXXVI, an ultra-faint, dark matter-rich satellite of Andromeda Galaxy. This ancient system may be a fossil from the early universe, helping scientists study galaxy formation and dark matter.

New Data From COSINE-100, ANAIS-112 Disputes DAMA Dark Matter Results
New results from COSINE-100 and ANAIS-112 show no signal matching the DAMA experiment claim, weakening evidence for dark matter detection and shifting focus toward new search strategies.
-
Rubin Observatory Discovers Over 11,000 Asteroids Within Weeks of Imaging
The Vera Rubin Observatory has discovered over 11,000 new asteroids within weeks of early observations. The findings highlight its ability to rapidly map the solar system and improve tracking of near-Earth objects for planetary defence.
-
New Gravity Theory Challenges Big Bang Singularity Problem
A new theory called Quadratic Quantum Gravity extends General Relativity to extreme energies, removing the Big Bang singularity and predicting testable gravitational wave signals from the early universe.
-
Scientists Trace Solar Storm Origins to Hidden Layer Deep Inside the Sun
Scientists have identified the Sun’s tachocline—a thin layer deep below the surface—as the source of powerful magnetic forces driving solar storms. The discovery could improve space weather forecasts and provide earlier warnings for disruptions to satellites and power systems.
