NASA’s Chandra Observatory Reveals 22 Years of Cosmic X-Ray Recordings
NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory has released an expanded source catalogue spanning 22 years of observations, covering around 400,000 cosmic X-ray sources. The dataset captures high-energy events across the universe, from black holes to stellar remnants, and can be combined with Hubble and James Webb data. Scientists say it offers an unprecedente...

NASA’s Curiosity Rover Sends Stunning New Panorama From High on Mount Sharp on Mars
NASA’s Curiosity rover has shared a new panorama from high on Mount Sharp, created from images taken across two Martian days. The colour-tinted view highlights changing light conditions and ancient boxwork formations shaped by groundwater, offering fresh insight into Mars’ past and the rover’s ongoing exploration inside Gale Crater.

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....

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’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...

NASA James Webb Telescope Reveals ‘Jekyll and Hyde’ Star System Hiding a Supermassive Black Hole
For decades, astronomers have studied galaxy formation, but the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has now revealed a galaxy with a dual personality, earning it the nickname “Jekyll and Hyde.” Known as Virgil, the galaxy shows a mild-mannered side, forming stars quietly, while its hidden core harbours a heavily obscured supermassive black hole t...

Rare ‘Double’ Lightning Phenomena With Massive Red Rings Light Up the Alps
For a brief moment last year, northern Italy's night sky offered a spectacle rarely seen in a lifetime. From his home in Possagno, nestled in the Alps, photographer Valter Binotto captured an image showing two of Earth's rarest lightning phenomena occurring at the same time. Elves and sprites are forms of Transient Luminous Events (TLEs), which fla...

NASA’s PUNCH Watches Comet Lemmon Respond to the Sun’s Powerful Influence
NASA’s PUNCH mission has captured striking views of Comet Lemmon as it passed close to the Sun in late 2025. The observations show how solar wind and eruptions reshape a comet’s tail, sometimes causing it to break and regrow. The images provide valuable insight into how solar activity affects objects across the inner solar system.

Chandra’s New X-Ray Mapping Exposes the Invisible Engines Powering Galaxy Clusters
NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory has released stunning colour-coded galaxy cluster images that reveal shock waves, cooling gas, and cavities carved by supermassive black holes. By separating X-ray light into different energy bands, astronomers can now visualise hidden cosmic processes that shape the universe’s largest structures and control how...
