NASA’s TESS Captures First Images of Rare Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS
NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite has captured rare images of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, only the third such object ever detected. Observations from January 2026 reveal the comet rotates every 15 hours and produces sunlight-driven jets, behaving much like Solar System comets. Scientists say studying 3I/ATLAS may unlock clues about th...

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...

Astronomers Detect Rare Rogue Planet Drifting Alone 10,000 Light-Years from Earth
Astronomers have confirmed a rare rogue planet, drifting without a star nearly 10,000 light-years away. Using gravitational microlensing, their distance and mass were measured, suggesting that free-floating planets may be abundant across the Milky Way. Upcoming telescopes, including NASA’s Roman Space Telescope and China’s Earth 2.0 mission, ar...

Fermi Telescope Detects Gamma-Ray Halo That Could Be First Direct Dark Matter Signal
NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has detected a faint halo of high-energy gamma rays around the Milky Way’s centre—matching predictions for dark-matter annihilation. The finding, reported by Professor Tomonori Totani, could represent the first direct glimpse of dark matter, but scientists caution that alternative explanations remain and...

Dark Matter May Have Been Seen for the First Time in NASA Gamma-Ray Data
A new analysis of NASA’s Fermi telescope data reveals a faint gamma-ray halo around the Milky Way’s core, matching predictions for annihilating dark-matter particles. Researchers say no known astrophysical source fits the signal, raising the possibility of the first direct evidence of dark matter. Experts, however, stress caution and call for v...

NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope Surpassing Expectations Even Before Launch, Reveals Research
NASA’s upcoming Roman Space Telescope is expected to measure seismic waves in over 300,000 red giant stars, far greater than early predictions. These signals will help scientists better understand exoplanet systems and the Milky Way’s ancient core. Researchers say Roman’s natural survey design enables this breakthrough even before the telesco...

Flattened Dark Matter May Explain Mysterious Gamma-Ray Glow at Milky Way’s Core, Study Finds
Dark matter near the Milky Way’s center appears flattened, not spherical, according to new simulations. The discovery may explain a puzzling gamma-ray glow long observed by NASA’s Fermi telescope, reigniting theories that dark matter collisions produce high-energy radiation in the galaxy’s core

James Webb Space Telescope Spots Rare Protostar Blasting Twin Jets Across Milky Way
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has captured a rare protostar about ten times the Sun’s mass blasting twin jets nearly eight light-years long. The beams carve through the glowing Sharpless 2-284 nebula, offering astronomers a vivid glimpse into how massive stars form and shape their galactic environment.
