Ryugu Samples Reveal Ancient Water Flow on Asteroid for a Billion Years
Microscopic samples from asteroid Ryugu reveal that liquid water once flowed through its parent body long after its formation. The finding, led by University of Tokyo scientists, suggests that such asteroids may have delivered far more water to early Earth than previously thought, offering a new perspective on how our planet’s oceans originated.

Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide Soars to 424PPM, Marking Biggest Yearly Jump Ever
The WMO reports Earth’s atmospheric CO₂ reached 422.8 ppm in 2024 — the biggest annual rise ever recorded. Driven by fossil-fuel emissions, wildfires, and weakening carbon sinks, the surge intensifies global warming. Scientists warn that delayed emission cuts could entrench irreversible changes in weather, ecosystems, and sea levels.

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.

Solar Wind Cuts Comet Lemmon’s Tail In Rare Disconnection Event
Astrophotographer Brennan Gilmore captured a rare “disconnection event” on Oct. 2, showing solar wind cutting Comet Lemmon’s glowing green ion tail. The comet, nearing its October 2025 flyby, displayed a vivid coma and long tail—revealing how solar activity reshapes comets in real time.

Solar Storm From Four Sun Eruptions Could Cause Minor Geomagnetic Activity
A burst of solar activity could soon paint Earth’s skies with auroras. Between October 11 and 13, the Sun fired four coronal mass ejections toward Earth, expected to arrive October 15–17. NOAA predicts mild G1 geomagnetic storms that could trigger colorful northern lights visible across high and even mid-latitude regions.
