Astronomers Discover Shockingly Hot Young Galaxy Cluster That Defies Theory
Astronomers have identified an exceptionally hot galaxy cluster forming just 1.4 billion years after the Big Bang. Observations reveal gas temperatures far exceeding theoretical limits, suggesting an unexpectedly violent early formation. The discovery challenges standard models of galaxy cluster evolution and points to intense activity from starbur...

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...

JWST Reveals Powerful Winds and Dense Atmosphere on Scorching Exoplanet TOI-561b
Astronomers using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have found compelling evidence that TOI-561b, an ultra-hot rocky exoplanet orbiting its star every 11 hours, still retains a dense atmosphere. Temperatures measured on both its day and night sides are far lower than expected for a bare rock, implying powerful winds and efficient heat transport. ...

JWST Detects Thick Atmosphere on Ultra-Hot Rocky Exoplanet TOI-561 b
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have discovered compelling evidence of a thick atmosphere surrounding TOI-561 b, an ultra-hot rocky exoplanet orbiting its star every 11 hours. Despite extreme radiation and molten surface conditions, the planet appears cooler than expected, suggesting heat-redistributing atmospheric winds and volati...

Darwin Theory Row: Government Says Evolution Still Part Of School Science Curriculum
The Minister's remarks come amid sustained criticism from scientists, educators and civil society groups, who fear that dropping evolution from the Class 10 syllabus dilutes scientific literacy.

NASA’s James Webb Telescope May Have Found First Black Hole Star, Known as ‘The Cliff’
JWST detected “The Cliff,” a candidate black hole star with a black hole core wrapped in a luminous gas shell. This discovery offers insights into black hole formation, stellar evolution, and cosmic dynamics, prompting astronomers to search for similar objects across the universe.

Very Massive Stars Blow Away Outer Layers in Powerful Winds Before Black Hole Collapse
Massive stars may lose much more mass than expected before collapsing into black holes. A new study reveals that their powerful stellar winds strip outer layers early, reshaping theories of star evolution, black hole formation, and gravitational wave events. This research challenges previous models and helps explain observed features of stars like ...

All Sharks Follow This Centuries-Old Mathematical Rule
From hand-sized lantern sharks that glow in the deep sea to bus-sized whale sharks gliding through tropical waters, sharks come in all shapes and sizes.

Your Smartphone Is A Parasite, According To Evolution
Head lice, fleas and tapeworms have been with us throughout human history. Yet, the greatest parasite now is no blood-sucking invertebrate. It is sleek, glass-fronted and addictive by design. Its host? Every human on Earth with a wifi signal.

Managing Drug-Resistant Cancers: Charles Darwin's Theory To The Rescue
Antimicrobial resistance is a major health threat that kills more than a million people each year. But cancer a non-communicable disease poses a much bigger challenge to global public health by killing ten times as many.

Water on Ancient Mars? New Study Challenges the Cold Planet Theory
Scientists have uncovered compelling evidence suggesting that early Mars was surprisingly wet, featuring extensive networks of lakes and river basins shaped by rainfall and snowfall. This challenges long-held views of a predominantly cold and icy ancient Mars. Despite current climate models struggling to explain sustained liquid water on the Red Pl...

Atacama Telescope Reveals Most Detailed Cosmic Microwave Background Yet
New images from the decommissioned Atacama Cosmology Telescope offer the most detailed view of the cosmic microwave background. The data reveals early cosmic structures, tracks primordial gas movement, and refines estimates of the universe’s total mass. While supporting existing models, it does not resolve the Hubble tension. Researchers are now ...

Smallest Galaxy Ever Found: Andromeda XXXV Defies Cosmic Evolution Models
Astronomers have discovered Andromeda XXXV, the smallest and faintest known galaxy, located 3 million light-years away. It challenges existing models of galaxy formation, as similar small galaxies were thought to be destroyed in the early universe. Researchers are studying how it retained conditions for star formation despite harsh cosmic environme...

Black Hole Singularities May Not Exist, Say Scientists
A new study questions the existence of black hole singularities, suggesting refinements to Einstein’s equations using quantum gravity concepts. Researchers argue that infinite density points may not be real, replacing them with highly curved but finite regions of space-time. While direct observation remains difficult, gravitational waves and earl...

Unexpected Rotational Motion Detected in Ultra-Diffuse Galaxies of Hydra Cluster
Astronomers studying ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) in the Hydra cluster have observed unexpected rotational movement in nearly half of the 30 galaxies examined. Spectroscopic data from the LEWIS programme, using the MUSE instrument on the Very Large Telescope, suggests that gravitational interactions with larger galaxies may influence their formati...
