NASA Detects Comet That Slowed Down And Began Spinning In The Opposite Direction
Scientists believe it originated in the Kuiper Belt. Later, due to Jupiter's gravitational influence, it settled into its current orbit.

Study Reveals Mars Has A Much Stronger Influence On Earth's Climate
Previous research on deep-sea sediments had suggested that Mars might influence Earth's climate, but the magnitude of this influence had not been clearly established.

Scientists Find Clock on Mars Runs 477 Microseconds Faster Than Earth
A new study by NIST physicists shows that clocks on Mars run about 477 microseconds faster per day than identical clocks on Earth. The difference comes from Mars’s weaker gravity, orbital eccentricity, and gravitational influences across the solar system. Though tiny, this daily time lead will pose challenges for future Mars navigation and commun...

ISRO Tracks Chandrayaan-3 Module As It Re-Enters Lunar Zone
The Chandrayaan-3 service module, last tracked by Space-Track.org on June 27, 2025, has naturally entered the Moon's gravitational influence, according to scientists.

Jupiter Was Once Twice Its Size - And Its Magnetic Field Could Fry Spacecraft
Jupiter's early evolution and gravitational influence played a crucial role in shaping the solar system's structure and planetary orbits, earning it the title of the solar system's "architect."

Magnetic Fields Could Significantly Influence Oscillations in Merging Neutron Stars, Study Finds
Magnetic fields may play a bigger role in neutron star mergers than previously thought. A new study using advanced simulations shows that these fields can shift or suppress oscillation frequencies, altering gravitational wave signatures. This discovery could change how astronomers decode post-merger signals and refine models of neutron star interio...

New Dark Matter Hypothesis Suggests Ionisation Clue in Milky Way’s Core
Researchers propose that an overlooked dark matter candidate may explain unusual ionisation levels in the Milky Way’s Central Molecular Zone (CMZ). This theory suggests that lightweight, self-annihilating dark matter particles could be producing electrons and positrons, influencing cosmic chemistry. The findings challenge conventional views, offe...

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...

Scientists Discover Two New Supernova Remnants in a Surprising Location
Two previously unknown supernova remnants, J0624-6948 and J0614-7251, have been detected in the outskirts of the Large Magellanic Cloud. Their unexpected location suggests a higher-than-expected concentration of ionised gas, raising new questions about galactic evolution. Scientists propose that gravitational interactions between the Milky Way and ...

NASA’s Webb Telescope Reveals Firefly Sparkle, a Milky Way-Like Galaxy
The James Webb Space Telescope has captured the Firefly Sparkle galaxy, existing 600 million years after the Big Bang. This rare discovery showcases a galaxy similar in mass to the Milky Way during its early years. Unprecedented details were revealed using gravitational lensing and infrared imaging, highlighting 10 distinct star clusters within Fir...
