Asgard Archaea May Hold the Key to the Origins of Eukaryotic Life, New Study Suggests
Asgard archaea, a group of single-celled organisms, may hold clues to the evolution of eukaryotic cells. Researchers at ETH Zurich have identified cytoskeletal proteins similar to those in eukaryotes, challenging the traditional three-domain model of life. Their findings suggest these microbes might have enabled key interactions that led to complex...

Mysterious Planetary-Mass Objects May Form in Young Star System Clashes
Recent research challenges traditional views on planetary-mass objects, suggesting they may form through violent interactions between young star systems rather than standard planetary or stellar processes. Simulations indicate these clashes create dense gas filaments that evolve into free-floating objects, often in binary pairs. This discovery expl...

Zombie Star’s Mysterious Spiky Filaments Baffle Astronomers in New Discovery
A zombie star remnant, Pa 30, located 6,500 light-years from Earth, is surrounded by spiky filaments that have baffled astronomers. These filaments, observed for centuries, continue to puzzle scientists, as their formation and long-term stability remain unclear. The star's explosion in 1181 was initially noted by skywatchers, but its remnant struct...

Hubble Captures Closest View of Quasar 3C 273, Revealing Mysterious Structures
The Hubble Space Telescope has provided an unprecedented view of quasar 3C 273, one of the brightest objects in the universe, unveiling mysterious features near its core. These include an L-shaped structure and blobs, likely smaller galaxies feeding the quasar’s black hole. The discovery also highlights a massive jet spanning 300,000 light-years ...

Supernova SN 1181 Reveals Rare “Zombie Star” in Pa 30 Nebula
A supernova recorded in 1181, known as SN 1181, has been linked to the Pa 30 nebula, revealing a rare “zombie star.” Advanced 3D imaging from the Keck Observatory has shown unusual filaments expanding from this star, marking it as a unique case in supernova studies. This zombie star survived a thermonuclear explosion on a white dwarf, challengi...

ESO Releases Image of Aftermath of Large Star's Explosive Death
The aftermath of a large star's explosive death is seen in an image released on Monday by the European Southern Observatory, showing immense filaments of brightly shining gas that was blasted into space during the supernova. Before exploding at the end of its life cycle, the star is believed to have had a mass at least eight times greater than our ...

Video Of White, Furry "Boogie-Woogie" Insects Dancing Around Leaf Stuns Internet
A video showing strange white, furry bugs seemingly dancing around a leaf is going viral on social media. The video showed the insects - covered in stringy white fur - moving back and forth and waving their hair-like filaments in the air.

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope Captures Heart of Phantom Galaxy: Details
Researchers have used NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) telescope to peer into the spectacular Phantom Galaxy, also known as M74. The galaxy is located around 32 million light-years away and could help us understand the origin and structure of galactic spirals.

Canyon of Fire Solar Storm Hits Earth, Highlights Clear Aurora View at Various Places
Our planet was recently hit by solar winds triggered by the snapping of a gigantic canyon of fire filament on the Sun. The solar storm slammed Earth on Wednesday. However, one doesn't need to panic as the G1 geomagnetic storm was a mild one posing no danger to life on Earth.

Large Bacterium Visible to the Naked Eye Found in Mangroves of France
In an astonishing find, scientists have discovered the largest bacterium that is 5,000 times larger than most known bacteria and is even visible to the naked eye. The organism, Thiomargarita magnifica, appears as thin white filaments measuring roughly 1 cm in length.

First Images of 'Cosmic Web' Reveal Maze of Dwarf Galaxies
Scientists in France have for the first time seen the incandescent filaments of hydrogen gas known as the "cosmic web”. Eight months of observation with the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope and a year of data crunching revealed the filaments as they existed only one to two billion years after the Big Bang.
