AI Reveals Mars’s Mysterious Slope Streaks Likely Formed by Dust, Not Water Activity
An AI-based study has found that Mars’s mysterious dark slope streaks are likely formed by dust and wind, not flowing water as long believed. Based on an analysis of over 86,000 satellite images, the findings challenge past theories and may help scientists focus future Mars missions on more promising areas in the search for ancient life.

Hubble Unveils Galactic ‘Cotton Candy’ in the Large Magellanic Cloud
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has captured a breathtaking image of glowing gas and dust in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a dwarf galaxy orbiting the Milky Way. The colorful filaments—nicknamed “galactic cotton candy”—highlight active star-forming regions. Taken with five filters across ultraviolet to infrared wavelengths, the image reveals ...

Quantum Tech Could Finally Let Astronomers Snap Direct Images of Earth-Like Exoplanets
Astronomers are harnessing quantum mechanics to build a coronagraph that could directly image Earth-like exoplanets previously obscured by stellar glare. By sorting light waves at the photon level, the device bypasses traditional diffraction limits, revealing faint planetary signals. This breakthrough may redefine how scientists explore distant wor...

New Study Uses AI to Reveal Dry Origins of Mars’ Mysterious Slope Streaks
A new study by researchers at Brown University and the University of Bern used machine learning to analyze 86,000 high-resolution images of Mars. Their findings suggest that recurring slope lineae (RSLs)—dark streaks once thought to indicate liquid water—are actually caused by dry processes like wind and dust movement. With over 500,000 feature...

NASA’s Perseverance Captures Deimos Before Dawn in Striking Martian Sky Image
NASA’s Perseverance rover captured a rare pre-dawn image of Mars’ moon Deimos on Sol 1433, stitching together 16 long-exposure shots into a 52-second composition. Despite image noise and cosmic interference, the photo reveals Deimos, stars like Regulus and Algieba, and Martian sky conditions, highlighting the rover’s expanding role in celesti...

NASA Satellite Detects Tree Leaf Changes as Early Volcano Eruption Warning Signal
NASA and Smithsonian scientists find that greener trees seen in satellite images may warn of upcoming volcanic eruptions. The change is linked to rising carbon dioxide emissions from magma, which trees absorb and display through greener leaves. This method could enhance early warning systems and improve public safety near active volcanoes.

NASA Reveals a Fracture in Huge Cosmic Bone: Everything You Need to Know
With the use of the Chandra X-Ray Observatory, NASA has detected a fracture in the Milky Way. The bone is a galactic center filament that is based at a distance of 26,000 light years from Earth. The fracture would have occurred due to collisions with the neutron star, known as a pulsar, that spins rapidly. The scientists suspect that the fracture w...

Hubble Captures Stunning Image of Peculiar Spiral Galaxy Arp 184 in Camelopardalis
Arp 184, also known as NGC 1961, is a stunning yet asymmetrical spiral galaxy captured by NASA/ESA’s Hubble Space Telescope. Located about 190 million light-years away in the Camelopardalis constellation, it features a single, starry spiral arm and a rich history of supernovae. Included in Halton Arp’s Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies, Arp 184 stands...
