NASA’s Perseverance Rover Spots Turtle-Shaped Rock in Mars’ Jezero Crater
Perseverance rover snaps turtle-shaped rock in Jezero Crater, a geologic oddity shaped by erosion and human pareidolia. The picture was snapped on Sol 1,610, August 31, 2025, at Jezero Crater, by the rover's Sherloc and Watson instruments, fitted to its robotic arm, which capture visible and ultraviolet images of rock surfaces.

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...

Chandra Spots Distant Baby Planet Losing Its Atmosphere Under Intense X-ray Assault
NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory has captured a rare glimpse of TOI 1227 b, a young, Jupiter-sized exoplanet losing its atmosphere under intense stellar radiation. Just 8 million years old, the planet is shrinking rapidly as X-rays strip away its mass. Scientists warn it may become a barren rocky core in about a billion years.

Young Exoplanet Spotted Shedding Atmosphere Under Stellar Radiation
NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and Hubble Space Telescope have captured a dramatic cosmic event: a baby exoplanet, TOI 1227 b, is being stripped of its atmosphere by powerful X-rays from its host star. Only 8 million years old and orbiting a red dwarf, this Jupiter-sized planet is losing gas at a rate equal to Earth’s entire atmosphere every ...

11,000-Year-Old Settlement in Canada Challenges Indigenous History
An 11,000-year-old settlement, Âsowanânihk, discovered in Saskatchewan, is reshaping perspectives on early Indigenous civilizations in North America. Located in Sturgeon Lake First Nation territory, the site contains stone tools, firepits, and bison remains, indicating long-term habitation rather than temporary hunting camps. According to researc...

Tree Crops Overlooked in Policies Despite Critical Role in Sustainability Goals
Tree crops, covering over 183 million hectares globally, are vital for biodiversity, food production, and climate action. Researchers have urged sustainable policies to harness their full potential, highlighting their role in addressing rural poverty, mitigating climate change, and supporting ecosystems. These systems offer year-round habitats, red...

Antarctica’s Pyramid-Shaped Peak: A Geological Masterpiece
The pyramid-shaped mountain in Antarctica’s Ellsworth Mountains has captivated imaginations with its near-perfect symmetry. While conspiracy theories suggest ties to ancient civilizations or extraterrestrial construction, scientists explain the peak’s geometry as a result of freeze-thaw erosion over millions of years. This process has sculpted ...

Researchers Unveil New Theory on the Formation of Jupiter-Mass Binary Objects
A team of researchers has proposed a new theory explaining the formation of Jupiter-mass binary objects (JuMBOs), identified in 2023 in the Orion Nebula. The theory involves photo erosion, where radiation from massive stars strips away mass from stellar cores, shaping JuMBOs into objects with masses comparable to Jupiter. This theory sheds light on...
