Hubble Telescope Detects Wake of Betelgeuse’s Hidden Companion Star, Confirming Long-Held Theory
Hubble Telescope observations have revealed a dense gas wake in Betelgeuse’s atmosphere, confirming the presence of a hidden companion star named Siwarha. The discovery explains the red supergiant’s unusual brightness changes and offers new insight into how massive stars evolve and shed material before becoming supernovae.

Hubble Data Reveals Previously Invisible ‘Gas Spur’ Spilling From Galaxy NGC 4388’s Core
The elliptical galaxy NGC 4388, situated in the Virgo Cluster approximately 60 million light-years from Earth, features an intriguing long tail of glowing gas, as shown in a recent image uploaded to the Hubble site in late 2025. This galaxy, viewed edge-on from Earth’s perspective, displays a bright spur of ionized gas spilling out from its core....

Hubble Observations Turn Exoplanet Into Dust; Reveal Rare Double Asteroid Impact in Nearby System
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has revealed that a vanished exoplanet near the star Fomalhaut was never a planet at all. Scientists discovered two rare, violent collisions between asteroid-sized bodies, producing glowing debris clouds that briefly mimicked planets. The findings offer a rare glimpse into how planetary systems evolve and how mislead...

Hubble Captures Gas Escaping Sideways Spiral Galaxy NGC 4388 in Virgo Cluster
Hubble has captured a glowing plume of gas escaping the spiral galaxy NGC 4388 in the Virgo cluster. Moving through hot intracluster gas, the galaxy sheds material, partially energised by its central black hole. Multi-wavelength observations reveal the impact of both environmental forces and central activity on galaxy evolution.

Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS Nears Earth on Dec. 19, Offering Rare Insights Into Cosmic Visitors
Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS will make its closest approach to Earth on Dec. 19. Observing the comet provides scientists a rare opportunity to study dust and gases from its icy nucleus and learn more about material forming around other stars, expanding understanding of interstellar objects while posing no threat to our planet.

New Telescope Data Deepens the Mystery of How Fast the Universe Is Expanding
The Atacama Cosmology Telescope’s final polarisation maps reinforce the long-standing Hubble tension, confirming a slower early-universe expansion rate similar to Planck’s findings. By ruling out several proposed fixes, the new data intensifies the mystery and suggests current cosmological models may be missing key physics.
