Physicist Discovers Preserved Blood Vessels In World's Largest T. Rex
Despite the fact that much of the current research in paleontology focuses on trying to find traces of organic remains in fossils, dinosaur DNA has unfortunately never been recovered.

NASA’s Curiosity Rover Spots Ancient Coral-Like Rock on Mars
On July 24, 2025, NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover captured an image of a small, coral-shaped rock in Gale Crater using its ChemCam Remote Micro Imager. The light-colored, 1-inch (2.5 cm) formation likely formed billions of years ago when mineral-rich water seeped into tiny fractures in the rock, leaving behind hardened mineral veins after evaporation...

Twisted Jet Confirms Most Extreme Binary Black Hole System in the Universe
Astronomers have confirmed that the blazar OJ 287 hosts the most extreme binary black hole system ever found. Using a global radio telescope array, they captured an ultra-sharp image showing a dramatically bent jet—evidence of two supermassive black holes locked in orbit. The system’s 12-year flare cycle and jet twists match predictions of a sm...

Hubble Delivers Best View Yet of Rare Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS Racing Through Solar System
Hubble has captured its sharpest image of 3I/ATLAS, a rare interstellar comet speeding through the solar system at 130,000 mph. The view reveals a dust-filled coma, a faint tail, and activity similar to native comets. Astronomers aim to study its composition before it vanishes forever, offering insight into objects formed around other stars.

Rare 1,000-Year-Old Ceremonial Heads, Ancient Structures Found In Peru
The discoveries were made at the Ollape site in the Amazonian district of La Jalca in an area where the Chachapoyas civilization, or "Warriors of the Clouds," developed between 900 and 1,450 AD.

James Webb Telescope Detects Potential Gas Giant Exoplanet Just 4 Light-Years Away
Astronomers using JWST have spotted a possible gas giant orbiting Alpha Centauri A, only 4 light-years away. If confirmed, it would be the closest exoplanet to a Sun-like star ever imaged. The discovery could challenge current models of planetary formation in binary systems and open new opportunities for studying nearby worlds.

NASA's Curiosity Rover Spots Coral-Shaped Rock On Mars
NASA's Curiosity Mars rover recently sent back black and white images of a rock on the Martian surface that looks remarkably like a piece of coral.

Earliest Known Black Hole Found Just 500 Million Years After the Big Bang
Astronomers have confirmed the most distant black hole ever discovered, lurking in a compact galaxy just 500 million years after the Big Bang. Using the James Webb Space Telescope, the team identified clear spectroscopic evidence of the object, offering new insight into early black hole growth and their role in forming galaxies during the universe...

Mysterious Planet Nine May Still Lurk in the Outer Solar System
Astronomers have long speculated about a hidden planet—Planet Nine—lurking beyond Neptune. First proposed in 2016, the theory explains the strange orbits of distant Kuiper Belt objects through the gravitational pull of a massive, unseen world. Caltech researchers remain confident, while others suggest alternatives like debris rings or even a bl...

Massive 200-Light-Year Cloud May Be Channeling Matter to the Milky Way's Core
Astronomers have discovered a massive, 200-light-year-wide cloud of gas and dust—dubbed the Midpoint cloud—hidden in the Milky Way. This giant molecular cloud appears to channel dense material into the galaxy’s core, possibly fueling star formation. The discovery offers rare insights into how matter flows from the galaxy’s disk to its turbu...

New Rogue Planet Discovered in Hubble Data Using Einstein’s Gravity Theory
Astronomers discovered a rogue planet hidden in Hubble’s archival data using gravitational microlensing based on Einstein’s theory. The event, OGLE-2023-BLG-0524, lasted just eight hours and lacked signs of a host star, suggesting the planet might be truly free-floating.
