Astronomers Discover Shockingly Hot Young Galaxy Cluster That Defies Theory
Astronomers have identified an exceptionally hot galaxy cluster forming just 1.4 billion years after the Big Bang. Observations reveal gas temperatures far exceeding theoretical limits, suggesting an unexpectedly violent early formation. The discovery challenges standard models of galaxy cluster evolution and points to intense activity from starbur...

13,000-Year-Old Cosmic Airburst Triggered ‘Impact Winter’ and Mass Extinction, Research Suggests
New research points to fragments of a comet exploding over North America approximately 13,000 years ago, sparking firestorms and rapid cooling that could have contributed to the extinction of mammoths. Scientists report finding telltale “shocked” quartz grains at classic Clovis sites dating to the Younger Dryas boundary, evidence of intense he...

Webb Telescope Discovers Hidden Atmosphere on Molten Super-Earth TOI-561 b Despite Extreme Heat
NASA’s Webb Telescope detects a hidden atmosphere on ultra-hot super-Earth TOI-561 b, revealing gases above its molten surface, challenging previous assumptions about small planets surviving intense stellar radiation.

James Webb Space Telescope Spots an Exoplanet Losing Its Atmosphere in a Huge Helium Stream
Astronomers using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have observed a massive helium cloud escaping from the super-puff exoplanet WASP-107b, marking the first direct detection of such atmospheric loss. Webb’s infrared data reveal an enormous exosphere nearly ten times the planet’s radius, with helium streaming both ahead of and behind the plane...

ESA’s JUICE Probe Uses Venus Flyby to Stay on Track for Jupiter’s Icy Moons
The European Space Agency’s Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (JUICE) successfully executed a Venus flyby on August 31, 2025, using the planet’s gravity to speed toward Jupiter. Engineers overcame a brief antenna glitch before the maneuver, and the spacecraft endured Venus’s intense heat by shielding itself with its high-gain antenna.

NASA Engineers Rescue JunoCam with Deep-Space Heating Hack
NASA’s JunoCam, once believed nearly lost to Jupiter’s intense radiation, has made a stunning comeback thanks to a bold experiment. Engineers used a process called annealing—heating the camera from afar—to reverse internal damage and restore image clarity. Just in time for a close flyby of the volcanic moon Io, the camera delivered detailed...

iPhone 17 Pro Tipped to Feature Vapour Chamber Cooling System for Improved Heat Management
iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max models could offer significantly improved thermal management, thanks to a new vapour chamber (VC) cooling system. Leaked information suggests Apple is making these hardware adjustments due to its new A19 Pro chip. It could boost the smartphones' overall thermal efficiency, enabling better performance during intensive tasks...
