Hubble Data Reveals Previously Invisible ‘Gas Spur’ Spilling From Galaxy NGC 4388’s Core
The elliptical galaxy NGC 4388, situated in the Virgo Cluster approximately 60 million light-years from Earth, features an intriguing long tail of glowing gas, as shown in a recent image uploaded to the Hubble site in late 2025. This galaxy, viewed edge-on from Earth’s perspective, displays a bright spur of ionized gas spilling out from its core....

NASA Finds Most Distant Calm Galaxy Cluster Ever Seen in Early Universe
Astronomers using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory have discovered SPT-CL J2215-3537, a massive galaxy cluster located 8.4 billion light-years away. Nicknamed the “Champagne Supernova” cluster, it is the most distant relaxed cluster ever observed, showing no signs of recent collisions. Its calm structure and active star formation challenge ex...

Elon Musk's xAI Buys Third Building to Expand AI Compute Power
The latest expansion underscores xAI's ambitious push to compete more effectively with industry leaders OpenAI's ChatGPT and Anthropic's Claude by training increasingly advanced models. The company's supercomputer cluster in Memphis, Tennessee, known as Colossus, is touted as the largest in the world.

NASA’s Chandra Spots Champagne Cluster Formed by a Massive Galaxy Collision
Discovered on New Year’s Eve 2020, the Champagne Cluster is a striking pair of colliding galaxy clusters revealed through combined X-ray and optical observations. NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory shows superheated gas stretched and distorted, exposing a massive cosmic collision hidden from visible light alone. Studied by UC Davis astronomers, t...

Government Shares Vision on Making AI Infrastructure in India More Accessible
The Office of the Principal Scientific Adviser (PSA) to the Government of India has published a white paper titled “Democratising Access to AI Infrastructure,” outlining key aspects of expanding access to artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure across the country. The PSA states that the document was prepared with input and feedback from do...

ISS Microgravity Experiment Reveal How Particles Behave Without Gravity
A microgravity experiment aboard the International Space Station is helping scientists understand how particles move and cluster without gravity. Conducted inside the station’s laboratory, the study could improve space safety, support future Moon and Mars missions, and deepen understanding of Earth-based processes such as pollution, pollen spread...

Hubble Captures Gas Escaping Sideways Spiral Galaxy NGC 4388 in Virgo Cluster
Hubble has captured a glowing plume of gas escaping the spiral galaxy NGC 4388 in the Virgo cluster. Moving through hot intracluster gas, the galaxy sheds material, partially energised by its central black hole. Multi-wavelength observations reveal the impact of both environmental forces and central activity on galaxy evolution.

NASA's IXPE Solves Long-Standing Mystery Behind Black Hole Jets
NASA's IXPE mission has identified how X-rays are produced in the jet of a supermassive black hole, confirming that they originate from the same jet through synchrotron self-Compton scattering and resolving a long-standing question in X-ray astronomy

NASA Uses 'X-arithmetic' to Show How Black Holes Shape Galaxy Clusters
NASA's Chandra telescope has used a novel "X-arithmetic" technique to analyse X-ray data from galaxy clusters, showing how supermassive black holes influence hot gas structures and offering new insights into cosmic evolution.

Chandra’s New X-Ray Mapping Exposes the Invisible Engines Powering Galaxy Clusters
NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory has released stunning colour-coded galaxy cluster images that reveal shock waves, cooling gas, and cavities carved by supermassive black holes. By separating X-ray light into different energy bands, astronomers can now visualise hidden cosmic processes that shape the universe’s largest structures and control how...

Massive Sunspot Complex on the Sun Raises Risk of Strong Solar Storms
A massive sunspot complex has appeared on the Sun, covering an area comparable to the legendary Carrington Event region. Known as AR 4294-96, the active cluster features highly tangled magnetic fields that could unleash powerful solar flares and geomagnetic storms, potentially disrupting satellites, power grids, and global communications if Earth-d...

Bitcoin Price Slips to $85,000 Zone After Liquidation Shock; Crypto Market Eyes US Fed Shift
Bitcoin slipped toward $85,000 (roughly Rs. 76.1 lakh) after a liquidation cluster below $90,000 (roughly Rs. 80.5 lakh) triggered a sharp move lower. The decline pushed BTC near the $87,000 (roughly Rs. 77.8 lakh) zone, where it is attempting to stabilise. Altcoins also weakened, with Solana, XRP, BNB and Dogecoin trading lower. Analysts say the b...

New Study Models How Interstellar Objects Could Approach and Impact Earth
A new study simulating billions of hypothetical interstellar objects finds that potential Earth-crossing bodies would most likely arrive from the solar apex and the galactic plane. The research highlights relative approach patterns rather than predicting real impacts. Scientists emphasise that known visitors like ‘Oumuamua and Borisov pose no dan...
