SPHEREx Captures Dramatic Outburst of Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS
NASA’s SPHEREx telescope captured a dramatic outburst from interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS after its close solar flyby in October 2025. Infrared observations in December revealed water vapor, carbon dioxide, methanol, methane, and cyanide erupting from the comet’s nucleus. Scientists say the chemical makeup suggests formation in a relatively warm e...

NASA’s SPHEREx Spots Interstellar Comet Flaring With Gas and Organic Molecules
NASA’s SPHEREx telescope has observed interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS unexpectedly brightening as it leaves the solar system. The comet released water vapour, carbon dioxide, and organic compounds months after its closest solar approach. Scientists say the findings provide a rare chemical snapshot of material formed around another star, helping compa...

James Webb Space Telescope Finds What Killed Pablo's Galaxy: "Death By A Thousand Cuts"
The findings revealed that ALMA observations detected no carbon monoxide, indicating a severe lack of cold, star-forming gas.

James Webb Spots Bizarre Planet-Forming Disk Full of Carbon Dioxide
The James Webb Space Telescope has spotted a bizarre planet-forming disk dominated by carbon dioxide where water is almost absent. This rare finding, in star system XUE 10 within NGC 6357, challenges current models of planetary formation and may reshape our understanding of habitable worlds.

James Webb Detects Carbon Dioxide–Dominated Coma in Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS
The James Webb Space Telescope observed 3I/ATLAS, the third interstellar object detected in our solar system. Its coma is unusually rich in carbon dioxide with little water or carbon monoxide, suggesting a CO₂-rich core or an insulating crust. Findings raise new questions about its cosmic origin.

Powerful Space Telescope Observes Interstellar Object, Finds CO2 And Water
NASA explained that the object has been categorised as interstellar because of the hyperbolic shape of its orbital path.

Hubble Discovers White Dwarf Merger Remnant with Unusual Carbon Signature
An international team of astronomers has discovered WD 0525+526, an unusual white dwarf about 128 light-years away, using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope. Unlike typical white dwarfs, this star formed through a stellar merger and shows an unexpectedly high carbon content. With a mass of 1.2 Suns and a scorching surface temperature of 21,000 K, the ...
