Hubble Data Reveals Previously Invisible ‘Gas Spur’ Spilling From Galaxy NGC 4388’s Core
The elliptical galaxy NGC 4388, situated in the Virgo Cluster approximately 60 million light-years from Earth, features an intriguing long tail of glowing gas, as shown in a recent image uploaded to the Hubble site in late 2025. This galaxy, viewed edge-on from Earth’s perspective, displays a bright spur of ionized gas spilling out from its core....

2026 Could Be the Best Year for Northern Lights; Why Post-Solar Maximum Storms Are Set to Surge
The end of 2025 saw bright auroras over northern skies following a strong solar flare. In October 2024, NASA noted that the Sun had entered its solar maximum phase. Experts predicted that the most frequent and intense Northern Lights would likely occur throughout 2026. Even though solar activity has technically begun its gradual decline since the 2...

Hubble Observations Turn Exoplanet Into Dust; Reveal Rare Double Asteroid Impact in Nearby System
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has revealed that a vanished exoplanet near the star Fomalhaut was never a planet at all. Scientists discovered two rare, violent collisions between asteroid-sized bodies, producing glowing debris clouds that briefly mimicked planets. The findings offer a rare glimpse into how planetary systems evolve and how mislead...

NASA To Shut Largest Library, "Toss Away" Books? What Space Agency's Head Said
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has hit out at the New York Times (NYT) over its report that the space agency's largest library at the Goddard Space Flight Center will be permanently closing, and books will be tossed away.

New Year, New Milestone: Voyager 1 To Reach One Light-Day From Earth In 2026
NASA's Voyager 1, launched in 1977, will reach one light-day from Earth in November 2026, emphasising the immense scale of space.

NASA Finds Most Distant Calm Galaxy Cluster Ever Seen in Early Universe
Astronomers using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory have discovered SPT-CL J2215-3537, a massive galaxy cluster located 8.4 billion light-years away. Nicknamed the “Champagne Supernova” cluster, it is the most distant relaxed cluster ever observed, showing no signs of recent collisions. Its calm structure and active star formation challenge ex...

NASA’s Chandra Spots Champagne Cluster Formed by a Massive Galaxy Collision
Discovered on New Year’s Eve 2020, the Champagne Cluster is a striking pair of colliding galaxy clusters revealed through combined X-ray and optical observations. NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory shows superheated gas stretched and distorted, exposing a massive cosmic collision hidden from visible light alone. Studied by UC Davis astronomers, t...

NASA’s Curiosity Rover Sends Stunning Sunrise-and-Sunset Holiday Postcard from Mars
NASA’s Curiosity rover has released a festive holiday postcard from Mars, blending a Martian sunrise and sunset into a single panoramic image. Captured on November 18, 2025, the view combines a blue-tinted morning sky with a golden afternoon hue, showcasing Gale Crater in striking detail. Created by stitching images taken hours apart, the artisti...

JWST Reveals Powerful Winds and Dense Atmosphere on Scorching Exoplanet TOI-561b
Astronomers using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have found compelling evidence that TOI-561b, an ultra-hot rocky exoplanet orbiting its star every 11 hours, still retains a dense atmosphere. Temperatures measured on both its day and night sides are far lower than expected for a bare rock, implying powerful winds and efficient heat transport. ...

NASA to Preview Upcoming ISS Spacewalks Focused on Solar Array Upgrades in January 2026
NASA astronauts will conduct two spacewalks in January outside the International Space Station. Tasks include preparing for the roll-out of solar array installation, replacing cameras, and relocating fluid system jumpers. The spacewalks, part of Expedition 74, are critical for station maintenance, upgrades, and future operations, with the first spa...

ISS Microgravity Experiment Reveal How Particles Behave Without Gravity
A microgravity experiment aboard the International Space Station is helping scientists understand how particles move and cluster without gravity. Conducted inside the station’s laboratory, the study could improve space safety, support future Moon and Mars missions, and deepen understanding of Earth-based processes such as pollution, pollen spread...
