Impossible Neutrino Detected on Earth May Come From an Exploding Primordial Black Hole
A mysterious neutrino detected in 2023 may be debris from an exploding primordial black hole. Scientists say the ultra-energetic particle defies known cosmic sources and could represent Hawking radiation, offering rare insight into early-universe physics and the possible nature of dark matter while challenging theories of black holes and cosmology.

NASA and ESA Trace Mysterious Lunar Flashes to Meteors and Gas Leaks
Transient Lunar Phenomena are mysterious bursts and glows observed on the Moon, lasting from milliseconds to hours. NASA and ESA research show that these events often result from meteoroid impacts, radon gas outgassing, and dust charged by solar wind, illuminating the Moon’s dynamic surface in surprising ways.

New Analysis of 1977 Wow! Signal Reveals Stronger Cosmic Mystery
The famous 1977 “Wow!” signal — a mysterious radio burst detected by Ohio’s Big Ear telescope — has been reanalyzed using modern computing techniques. Researchers digitized old telescope records, finding the signal was about four times stronger than first thought, peaking at 250 Janskys. The recalculations also refined its frequency and s...

Dead NASA Satellite Relay 2 May Have Caused Mysterious 2024 Radio Burst
In June 2024, a mysterious 30-nanosecond radio burst baffled scientists — until they traced it back to a surprising source: Relay 2, a NASA satellite offline since 1967. Researchers believe the signal could have been triggered either by a micrometeorite impact or an electrostatic discharge. The discovery, detailed in a new preprint study, highlig...

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope Tracks a Neutron Star With Mysterious Origin
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope spotted a rogue magnetar, dubbed SGR 0501+4516, traversing our galaxy for a significantly long time. As per claims by scientists, it was first discovered in the year 2008 by NASA's Swift Observatory as intense flashes of gamma rays in the outer area of the Milky Way

Wolf-Rayet 104's Orbit Tilt Reduces Gamma-Ray Burst Threat, Study Finds
New research using Keck Observatory’s instruments confirms that the orbit of Wolf-Rayet 104 is tilted 30-40 degrees away from Earth, lowering concerns about a possible gamma-ray burst. Previously, it was believed that the system’s alignment could pose a risk. However, spectroscopy data now challenges these assumptions, raising new questions abo...

Strange Fast Radio Bursts Emerge from an Ancient Dead Galaxy, Baffling Scientists
Scientists have detected mysterious fast radio bursts (FRBs) from the outskirts of an 11 billion-year-old dead galaxy. This discovery challenges the belief that FRBs primarily originate from young, star-forming galaxies. Researchers suspect the bursts may result from colliding stars or a collapsing white dwarf. The Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mappi...

Unprecedented Cosmic Explosion Discovered: Could This Be The Greatest Space Mystery Ever?
A newly detected cosmic explosion, EP240408a, could be the result of a white dwarf's death, creating a high-speed jet. It offers new insights into astrophysics.
