Doomed Exoplanet TOI-2109b Spirals Toward Its Star with Three Possible Fates
The gas giant TOI-2109b, over five times Jupiter’s mass, is spiraling closer to its star in a rare planetary death spiral. With a 16-hour orbit and blistering heat, the exoplanet could either plunge into its host star, be torn apart by tidal forces, or evolve into a rocky super-Earth through photoevaporation. NASA’s TESS and ESA’s Cheops data...

Hubble Unveils Dark Matter Web in Stunning Abell 209 Galaxy Cluster Image
NASA/ESA’s Hubble Space Telescope has released a stunning new image of Abell 209, a massive galaxy cluster 2.8 billion light-years away in Cetus. The golden cluster houses over 100 galaxies, but beneath them lies an invisible web of hot gas and dark matter. Using gravitational lensing, Hubble reveals curved arcs of light from background galaxies,...

NASA Crew-11 Astronauts Begin Pre-Launch Quarantine Ahead of July 2025 Flight
NASA’s Crew-11 astronauts have entered the final stage before launch: a two-week quarantine designed to prevent illness before their mission to the ISS. Led by commander Zena Cardman, the four-person team also includes Nick Hague, Thomas Pesquet (ESA), and Alexander Grebenkin (Roscosmos). The team will launch no earlier than July 31 from Kennedy ...

Massive Boulders Ejected by DART Mission Could Complicate Future Asteroid Deflection
NASA’s DART mission successfully deflected an asteroid but also unleashed high-velocity boulders with unexpected momentum. These chaotic ejecta may alter asteroid spin and orbit, complicating future deflection strategies. A new study highlights the importance of accounting for such forces in planetary defence. ESA’s Hera mission will further in...

Hubble Captures Stunning Image of Peculiar Spiral Galaxy Arp 184 in Camelopardalis
Arp 184, also known as NGC 1961, is a stunning yet asymmetrical spiral galaxy captured by NASA/ESA’s Hubble Space Telescope. Located about 190 million light-years away in the Camelopardalis constellation, it features a single, starry spiral arm and a rich history of supernovae. Included in Halton Arp’s Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies, Arp 184 stands...

NASA’s Lunar Space Station Module Enters Final Phase Before Artemis Gateway Launch
NASA’s HALO module, a key element of the Artemis Gateway, has arrived at Northrop Grumman in Arizona for final outfitting. The module will support astronauts with living and working spaces in lunar orbit. Outfitting includes critical systems for power, life support, and communications, marking a major milestone toward NASA’s long-term lunar mis...

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope Shares Detailed Mosaic of the Sombrero Galaxy
NASA’s Hubble reveals a detailed view of the Galactic favourite, the Sombrero Galaxy, telling about the rare shape of the galaxy. The Sombrero Galaxy is found to have metal-rich stars in its outer region. This research has a future scope of getting deeper insights into its formation by using the advanced imaging technique of Hubble.

Hubble Captures Stunning Infrared Image of Sh2-284, a Massive Stellar Nursery
Hubble’s latest image of the massive Sh2-284 nebula reveals young stars concealed within thick clouds of gas and dust. Using infrared imaging, astronomers have captured details previously obscured in optical wavelengths. The nebula’s low-metallicity composition provides a glimpse into the conditions of the early universe, shedding light on how ...

X-ray Signal from Helix Nebula Suggests Planet Was Destroyed by White Dwarf
Astronomers have traced decades-old X-ray emissions from the Helix Nebula to a white dwarf possibly consuming planetary debris. Reports suggest a Jupiter-like planet may have been torn apart by the star’s intense gravitational forces. Data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and ESA’s XMM-Newton indicate that remnants of the destroyed plane...
