NASA Juno Mission Uncovers Subtle Geometric Shifts That Challenge Existing Models of the Jovian Interior
Scientists have refined Jupiter’s size and shape using modern radio signal observations, finding the giant planet slightly smaller and more flattened than earlier estimates. Though the difference is only a few kilometres, researchers say it greatly improves models of Jupiter’s interior, gravity, and atmospheric structure, offering deeper insigh...

Runaway Stars Help Astronomers Trace Dark Matter Distribution Across the Milky Way Galaxy
Astronomers have identified dozens of runaway stars moving fast enough to escape the Milky Way. By tracking these hypervelocity stars, researchers can map the galaxy’s gravitational pull and better understand how dark matter is distributed across its vast halo, offering new insight into the unseen structure shaping our cosmic home.

NASA’s PUNCH Watches Comet Lemmon Respond to the Sun’s Powerful Influence
NASA’s PUNCH mission has captured striking views of Comet Lemmon as it passed close to the Sun in late 2025. The observations show how solar wind and eruptions reshape a comet’s tail, sometimes causing it to break and regrow. The images provide valuable insight into how solar activity affects objects across the inner solar system.

Spider-Like Scar on Jupiter’s Moon Europa Could Indicate Subsurface Salty Water
A spider-like scar on Jupiter’s moon Europa may indicate briny water beneath its icy crust. Researchers suggest impact-driven flows of salty liquid created starburst patterns resembling Earth’s lake stars. Future observations by NASA’s Europa Clipper mission could confirm these features, offering new insights into Europa’s subsurface oceans...

NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope Surpassing Expectations Even Before Launch, Reveals Research
NASA’s upcoming Roman Space Telescope is expected to measure seismic waves in over 300,000 red giant stars, far greater than early predictions. These signals will help scientists better understand exoplanet systems and the Milky Way’s ancient core. Researchers say Roman’s natural survey design enables this breakthrough even before the telesco...

China’s Tianwen-1 Captures Rare Interstellar Comet From Orbit Around Mars
China’s Tianwen-1 Mars mission achieved a new milestone by photographing interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, the third such object ever recorded. This breakthrough highlights China’s growing strength in planetary science, deep-space imaging, and interstellar observation, offering scientists an unprecedented look at materials beyond our solar syste

Japan’s Akatsuki Spacecraft Declared Inoperable, Marking End of Dedicated Venus Missions
Japan’s Akatsuki spacecraft, which studied Venus for nearly a decade, has been declared inoperable by JAXA. Successfully orbiting in 2015 after an initial failure, Akatsuki uncovered major insights into Venus’s swirling clouds and atmosphere. Its mission’s end leaves a gap until NASA’s VERITAS and DAVINCI+ missions take over.

NASA Prepares 2025 Carruthers Mission to Explore Earth’s Hidden Hydrogen Halo
NASA’s Carruthers Geocorona Observatory, launching in 2025, will capture ultraviolet light from hydrogen atoms to map Earth’s faint geocorona. Operating a million miles sunward, it will study how solar activity drives atmospheric loss, improves satellite protection, and reveals clues to planetary habitability, providing critical insight for fut...

Scientists Propose Space Missions to Chase Down Interstellar Comets
A Southwest Research Institute study reveals that chasing interstellar comets like 3I/ATLAS is achievable with current rockets and instruments. Such missions could collect data on comet nuclei and comae, providing clues to the formation of other star systems. International collaborations make these rare, high-value missions increasingly realistic.
