SPHEREx Captures Dramatic Outburst of Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS
NASA’s SPHEREx telescope captured a dramatic outburst from interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS after its close solar flyby in October 2025. Infrared observations in December revealed water vapor, carbon dioxide, methanol, methane, and cyanide erupting from the comet’s nucleus. Scientists say the chemical makeup suggests formation in a relatively warm e...

NASA’s SPHEREx Spots Interstellar Comet Flaring With Gas and Organic Molecules
NASA’s SPHEREx telescope has observed interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS unexpectedly brightening as it leaves the solar system. The comet released water vapour, carbon dioxide, and organic compounds months after its closest solar approach. Scientists say the findings provide a rare chemical snapshot of material formed around another star, helping compa...

James Webb Captures Stunning Infrared Image of the Helix Nebula Eye of God
The James Webb Space Telescope has captured a detailed infrared image of the Helix Nebula, also known as the “Eye of God.” The glowing ring of gas around a white dwarf star reveals filaments and knots formed as stellar winds collide with older material, offering insight into the fate of Sun-like stars.

Scientists Find Clue to High-Temperature Superconductivity in Quantum Materials
Researchers have uncovered a hidden magnetic order in the pseudogap phase of a quantum material, a long-standing mystery in superconductivity research. Using an ultracold-atom simulator based on the Fermi-Hubbard model, the team detected antiferromagnetic correlations emerging above the superconducting transition. The discovery provides fresh insig...
